16/12/09: Contains Festive Themes

   Holiday! Celebrate! That's what we're doing, and to share the festive spirit our ever-flexible art department has come up with the Rare Holiday Theme which has just gone live on Xbox Live Marketplace.

   Submerging your dashboard in Rare franchise memorabilia and seasonal artwork from years past seems like a fine way to round off 2009, and you can click the links at the foot of the page for some sample shots of the theme if this description piques your interest. A paltry 240 Points for the most joyous and heartwarming Premium Theme of the year, sir or madam.

   Where to find it? Well, as you'd expect it's currently heading up the New Arrivals under Themes in the Xbox Live Game Marketplace area, but you'll also be able to locate it within the Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts section – or as you're on the interwebs anyway you could just go direct to the Nuts & Bolts section of xbox.com to download it right here. We haven't failed to notice that the description refers to it as a 'them' rather than a 'theme', but we have simply assumed that this is a cool new abbreviation all the hip kids are using.

   Links to selected sample screens below for optimum ease of Marketplace impulse-buying:
