KEY POINTS:
LOS ANGELES - Universal Studios Consumer Products Group has released content based on the NBC hit series "Heroes" on Xbox Live.
For the first time, fans of the series can customize their Xbox 360 experience with theme packs and gamer pictures downloaded from the Xbox Live Marketplace. Gamers will be able to decorate their Xbox Live portal with rendered paintings from the series, as well as photos featuring "Heroes" characters as avatars.
Despite the connection with gamers, the show itself has not yet been made available for digital distribution through the Xbox Live Marketplace. The only NBC series available on the popular service, which is second only to Apple's iTunes, is "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip."
