Either getting avatar items by achievements or the points you earn through getting achievements should be the way. Who on Gods good earth will spend $ on their avatar! RETARDED! I never would have updated just for that. Most of the crap I can’t get in Canada like Netflix. If I can its a sad little shadow of the stuff Americans can access. I told mu hubby we should have got a PS#. BOOO Microsoft!

I didn’t even see this announced at E3 :S Which I loved btw, MS’s was amazing. Back to the point though, you can count me as one of MANY who will not be spending precious points on avatar crap. Achievements with items ftw though, just adds another reason to choose the 360 version of a multi-platform game – “Wow I unlocked a trophy for Home”, “Well I unlocked an achievement, and some Mjolnir armour for myself”

[...] awards. That’s a good theory and probably one that is likely true. You remember the Avatar Marketplace that’s coming [...]

I think that unlocking the new stuff thru acheivements would be the way to go cause then you got to get the game to unlock the stuff you want therefore microsoft would get even more money!!! altho i think i might get the lil warthog car for my avatar that looks playa haha

Not paying for that either.

They should include stuff in games (put Resident evil and get Zombies customisation) or by accomplishments.

Paying for this stuff sucks. Unlocking it through achievements rocks.

I also felt that MSs E3 was a solid showing and quite good. They showed some pretty cool stuff this year including Alan Wake, CD2, Forza 3, Natal, and much more. I rather liked what I saw.

Let’s see if Sony can top it.

well there’s also going to be stuff you can unlock by playing a game. there’s an image of an ODST Halo unlockable. so at least there’s that.

For those saying the Microsoft E3 was bad, you have to remember the US economy has still not recovered and consumers are spending FAR less. Companies have already projected this and are cutting back across the board. So it only makes sense you wouldn’t see a super E3 for Microsoft.

Yea this is just plain retarded. Microsoft’s E3 did suck and I’m a DIE HARD Microsoft fan too.

Not going to buy stuff like that. Sorry, I’ll stick with the free stuff I guess.
