The Dr. offers free Pepper XBLM downloads
Free Stallone Rambo downloads on the XBLM
To help advertise the brand new Rambo movie and to put a few extra dollars in Stallone's pocket (which he'll spend on Botox injections anyway), Lions Gate just released a free Rambo theme and gamer picture set to the XBLM. Which, as with all US movie content, we expect to be only available to US Xbox Live subscribers.The free Rambo theme is mediocre with different backgrounds for each blade, but absolutely no attention was paid to skinning the guide. And that makes us sad. But the gamer pictures are rather nifty, but only if one enjoys Rambo's face. A noticeably less Botulinum'ized face. Grab the free downloads if you can and support the Rambo movie which will be in theaters January 25th. That is if you want to. If not, we won't tell.
Get your yummy Halo 3 theme at a kiosk near you
Actually, after taking a deep breathe and looking over this blog, we're realizing that we just expressed an unnatural amount of excitement for a dashboard theme. Maybe we should take it down a notch. But the fact that, in order to get this (super yummy) Halo 3 theme, we have to find a 360 kiosk, stick in our memory card and download makes its appeal so great. Screw it! That's our goal for today. We're finding and downloading that elusive Halo 3 kiosk theme and nobody is stopping us! We want it and we want it now ... status update incoming.

Free Balls of Fury Marketplace downloads
To celebrate the impending release of Rogue Pictures' ping-pong comedy Ball of Fury, the powers that be have lovingly placed a few free downloads up on the XBLM. Available to US and Canada Xbox Live members are two free Ball of Fury downloads including a theme and nine different Balls of Fury gamer pictures. The gamer pics feature a bunch of characters from the movie and the theme is pretty decent as the guide displays a ping-pong paddle and balls tiled in a sexually suggestive manner with Christopher Walken used as the background for the Media blade ... 'nough said. So, we advise giving the free content a download if you're all about ping-pong, balls, or Christopher Walken.
Free Shark Week & Unlock Xbox downloads
And allow us to vent a little here and point out that the Unlock Xbox theme bothers the heck out of us. Why? Because the background colors don't match the freakin' blade colors! It looks like the designers tried to match the colors, but got sort of confused by the time they painted the media blade. Hey theme makers, is it that hard to match a few colors? End rant.

360 Queenz theme too mature for Marketplace
It looks like Microsoft put their foot down and stopped the sexually charged 360 Queenz theme and gamer pictures from making it to the XBLM. Deacon, the guy who posted the exclusive 360 Queenz preview, updated the Unscripted 360 community saying that "Microsoft isn't going to release it for whatever reason. too provocative? please. if this is too provocative then i'm at a loss for words". So, it's looking like those painted 360 girls won't be coming to an XBLM near you, because Microsoft thinks the whole thing reeks of bad taste. But look on the bright side, you are now free to spend those 150 Microsoft points that you were saving up. What's your opinion on this? Do you think those 360 Queenz were a little too sexy for the Marketplace or did Microsoft overreact just a bit? Vent away fanboys ...

360 Queenz theme will blow your ... mind
Just to make up for ... exposing you to the bleak outlook on the part of the Live community we should best ignore, here's something that will make sure you want to boot to your dashboard every time you start up your 360. Konsole Kingz is bringing us the 360 Queens to Xbox Live Marketplace, in the form of a Dashboard Theme and some gamerpics. All we can say is, "Daaaamn". We have the sneaking suspicion we'll be checking our System blade's preferences far more frequently. The theme will go for 150 MS Points and the picture pack for 80, so that's a fair price for some nice eye candy. Would you want to spice up your 360 with this theme? In case you're too distracted to notice, the rest of the blades can be seen by clicking the "Read" link. Which one's your favorite?

Free Pac-Man tournament theme available
In honor of a certain Pac-Man tournament that kicked off this week, you can download a free Pac-Man tournament theme from the XBLM. But we're a little embarrassed to say that we couldn't specifically nail down where you can download it other than by clicking on a rotating advertising banner. So, you may have to dig around the Marketplace until you find a Pac-Man ad. We guess it was a little too hard for the XBLM gods to put the theme in the gamer pictures and themes new releases section. Oh well, it's pretty interesting, free, and therefore worth all the XBLM detective work. So give it a download ... if you can find it.
Get your Pathfinder theme and gamer pics
With next month's quiet release of the movie Pathfinder we receive a few free downloads off of the XBLM. Right now you can get a free Pathfinder theme (which isn't anything spectacular) and a picture pack. The picture pack is actually pretty good, featuring a few creature pics and even a skull! Nothing says "I'm hardcore" like a gamer picture featuring a skull. Very l33t indeed. And for our worldly fanboys, we're pretty sure this content is only available to US residents and possibly Canada. Hey, we don't make the rules.
Free Eragon and The Reaping downloads
Today's free XBLM downloads are movie related themes and gamer pictures that are available to a worldly audience. First off is the free Eragon theme available to most of Europe and only Europe. The other downloads are for the movie The Reaping (featuring that swanky Hilary Swank) and include both a theme and a set of gamer pictures. And be sure to note that The Reaping's free downloads are only offered to United States residents ... Canada gets shafted this time, sorry guys. We just rang the free downloads dinner bell, so go get your content already!
Free Disturbia theme and gamer pics
Xbox Live members can head to the XBLM to download a free theme and gamer pictures for upcoming movie Disturbia. Free content from the marketing folks at the movies, sweet! Though, the free theme is kind of sad with a plain guide and the blade backgrounds being rather dull. But the gamer pictures are pretty good, including the eerie logo for the movie (as seen above). Go forth and download the free content, market thy movie, and spread the word of Disturbia!
Free Blades of Glory theme and gamer pics
In love with competitive figure skating and just can't wait for the Olympics? Well, we didn't think so, but Will Ferrell's new comedy Blades of Glory is about figure skating and looks quite funny. And on the XBLM you can download a free movie theme and a set of gamer pictures. The theme is pretty okay, as the guide isn't the plain jane light gray we usually see. And we'll just say the gamer pictures are "goodish", if goodish is a word. Did we mention we enjoy free themes and gamer pictures? For some reason if the content is free we couldn't care less it was advertising shaving cream or the Smucker's jam ... we just love our free content. Anyway, time to download, you know what to do.
24 Season 6: Free picture pack and theme
It has been a while since we got our greedy hands on some free themes or picture packs from the Marketplace. No worries though, because Major Nelson sent word that there are some free goods today! Just in time for the television series 24 season premiere, head to the Xbox Live Marketplace to download your free 24 Season 6 theme and picture pack. If you love Jack Bauer or just free stuff, then get a downloading right now. Don't you just love the smell of free content on Fridays?
