I’ve heard others talk about using your gamerpic has a shirt logo. I think there was a link in the xbox.com forums someone posted. I think this is interesting. It does add a little personality to the dashboard which I like.

Really cool to see, funny I fired an message off to Paladino @ GSB an asked about Gamerpics to include on the shirts, wonder if that’s possible now. He was very vague in his response back to me.

The thing that really bothers me about this is that the eyes/mouth are flat and everything else is in 3d. It makes the face look really stupid and out of place. I wish they would do some 3D modeling for the body parts on the face and then I would really really like what they’ve done.

I am excited for the Fall update. But i really wish they would just use face mapping

It’s like they’ve replaced the dashboard with a mii version of The Sims … belching, dancing, et al. Not cool with me, at all… this isn’t what I signed up for. …unless, of course, my avatar can be completely in ninja costume. Then, I might be only a little on-board with it.

I think Silent October is on point with his suggestion to use face-mapping technology. Without something like that, I really don’t care about some juvenile-based avatar.

hmmm at first i was against the idea of avatars but now its starting to grow on me… as long as it includes the feature of unlocking stuff as you unlock achievements (something i heard about) then it will be epic

just another representation of your digital self on Xbox LIVE. and a few games will also use them somehow perhaps as characters.

I haven’t really been too interested in this, so I haven’t read anything about it. What are these avatars going to be used for?
