I had the same problem and disappointment chr0ma.

That is the first time, for me, that the XBLM preview didn't actually match the download.

As you can see from my gamerpic THANK YOU for fixing the Force Recon picture pack.

Keep up the great work!

I also would purchase ALOT more content if there were previews.

Very disappointed in the COD4 "Force Recon" pack. I downloaded it and the one gamerpic I wanted WAS NOT EVEN IN THE PACK! That is freakin ridiculous since you can't get a refund. If you are going to be explicit with your "No Refunds for this Item" then you better make double-triple sure you are selling what you are advertising. The specific pic is the skull picture, instead you get a stupid Infinity Ward logo. Perhaps you can pass this along to whoever is in charge and have them fix it or change the banner. I rarely buy this stuff and it's disappointing to find when I do decide I'm not getting what I paid for. I also agree that we need a way to preview these or make it mandatory that if you are selling themes/pics the images are listed in the banner. It seems so logical and yet it's been this way going on 2 years.

I hate to end in a rant so let me say that it's awesome that you gave away halloween gamerpics and themes.. Hopefully the trend will continue with other holidays. =)

Keep up the great work!

Im starting to think that there needs to be a separate sections for 'Marketplace round up'. Im sure other people are the same, just jump on MajorNelson.com to check latest news and are sick of scrolling through nearly whole pages of this gamerpics, themes etc. stuff.

anyway thats my 2cents worth

From what I understand, the later model Camaros were manufactured in Canada. The new model Camaro (featured in Transformers) will be manufactured in GM's Oshawa, Ontario plant. So it may come down to some licensing mumbo jumbo. Sure hope the theme and pics become available in the US -- big Camaro fan (got a supercharged 2002 Camaro pushing 577RWHP).

First of all...why did my post yesterday not get posted? The worst it said was...."more overpriced crap". I'm sorry if it hurts your feelings, or whatever, but deal with it. It's the truth. I am obviously not the only person who feels this way. I also complained about the Camaro stuff not being available in America. It's an American icon, for crying out loud....we made the car the success that it is/was. We deserve the opportunity to own that content. I agree with the user complaining about the size of these posts. Use a "target" tag so we don't have to scroll past that massive post on every comment page, please. It's very simple and easy to use, and it has a specific purpose. "target=" Try it....or get yourself a new webmaster. And while I'm at it, how about links to the other comment pages at the top of the comments, as well as at the bottom? When I read the comments currently posted and then return the next day to see what else has been posted, I have to go to the bottom of every single page to get to the next page, when it would be much easier if you'd (get your webmaster to) add the page links above the comments, in addition to the ones below. I like the look of this new design....but navigating these pages is a major PITA!

I second the long overdue theme preview option. I've noticed that some brands are getting better about showing you the individual gamer pictures in each pack, but it's still not a standard, and there's still no way to reliably "test" or preview a theme. The XBLM section of Xbox.com did indeed start adding single blade previews, but it's only one blade, and it's not for all themes, and it seems like it takes forever for a new theme to receive the treatment. Since the vast majority of them end up being WAY too busy and/or contrasty to use in any sort of practical fashion, I for one stay away from themes by default, simply because I rarely get to see how the graphics interact with the layout and text of each page, given that most do so very poorly. And on that side note, I'm surprised that there aren't more simple/minimal designs, or more animated options like the ripple and waffle backgrounds that come stock with the console. I for one don't want something busy, I just want something nice that'll give me different designs between blades (another long overdue user option) and stay in the background, not something so gawdy that it takes over the dashboard and actually reduces its functionality by impairing the visibility of options.

Sure would be great if i could PREVIEW BEFORE BUYING themes and gamepics ! I can't believe this hasn't been addressed yet! If I could preview stuff before buying i'd buy more because right now i don't bother changing themes or pics unless they're free.

Dude! When are you guys going to do the right thing and enable us to initiate downloads from MajorNelson.com or XBOX.com? I work all day and when I get home, I spend time with my kids, and start gaming around 10 PM. I forget what I wanted to download by that time. Bungie.net did it. You guys can do it, too. Come on, E!

Why is the description for every item talking about COD4??

There's also Camaros in the rest of the world (well, probably not in Europe).
