No Microsoft makes you buy all of the dashboard themes you want to use. There are some out there that don't cost but the ones that do cost are pretty cheap, only around 250 Microsoft points. I think that's a dollar.
Unfortunately not. An Xbox LIVE account is required in order to purchase Dashboard Themes and much, much more.
look at the media section on your dashboard
If you have NXE you can take pictures of your avatar. Or, regardless of your dashboard, new pictures can be purchased on the Xbox Marketplace.
Themes are in alot of games, they change the background of your xbox dashboard, or playstation home.
choose one of the default themes already installed on the xbox 360 for instance the halo theme or go round looking for new themes on xbox live
Microsoft points (or MS points) are basically the currency on the xbox live marketplace. They enable you to buy gamer pictures, dashboard themes, multi-player map packs and MUCH more downloadable content for the 360 console. They are available in all good game stores and ebay.
First you will need a memory stick. Go onto your laptop or desktop and save the pictures you want to your memory stick. Once you have done this you can plug your memory stick into your Xbox 360's USB port. On the dashboard go to change theme, which is where customize avatar is and then open up your pictures folder and then select your picture. Or if you have an OXM demo disc they sometimes come with themes. To get them just play the demo disc and go to save themes. Hope this helped.
To download another background to your xbox like me ( I have a assassins creed 2 background) you have to go on game marketplace, there should be other options but you have to look for themes and there should be a variety of different backgrounds
Bing is on the new dashboard, if you have the new dashboard, you will have bing. If you do not have the new dashboard, you can download it from the Xbox official website. Follow all instructions on how to install the update.
