Say goodbye to the old Xbox.com design; a new one is making its debut tomorrow. The news was announced on Major Nelson’s site along with a list of new features. Most importantly the site will now feature support for new Xbox Live regions, plus there are some other cool tweaks like a browser-based Avatar editor or the ability to play web games with your XBL friends.

It’s nice to see the update getting more than a lick of paint, there are a full list of improvements below.
Browser based Avatar editor: Edit your avatar and preview avatar items before purchase
Combined views for messages, friend and game requests
Improved notification of your account subscription
Leverage Family Reports to understand what your family is doing and how they are using LIVE
Play web games with your Xbox LIVE friends on the web or on Windows Phone 7
Marketplace: More powerful search and more intuitive ways to browse and filter
