How do i put my avatar as my profile picture?

When your dressing up your avatar or changing it there's an option where you can take a photo of it. Once you've taken a photo it should go into your gamer pics. Go into there then you should see your avatar pic :)

Your avatar can be a cartoon or a photo. Cartoons are created at the Avatar web site. Photos are uploaded to the Pulse web site. If you have hidden your Pulse Profile you can use a cartoon avatar but for a Pulse Profile picture to appear here it can't be hidden. If you do not want information public then you can hide each element or leave it blank. If you have already created an avatar and it is not appearing be sure to follow step Ⓒ completely.
