wow interesting… I would love to be able to unlock goodies for my avatar but I really dont see myself using points for it.

and I don’t like the Avatar World idea either, I hope that you are wrong too Mike. well I can see that getting abused and becoming something that it was not intended for.

An avatar store is such a horrible idea, I honestly don’t see how it can make money either? I hope you’re wrong about that though Mike. I don’t want a ’second life’ on my console, games are already my first life lol. Avatar gameplay unlockables ftw though

You wouldn’t hate it if there are many games tied to it, to play along with people you know… People will also show-off the Avatar collectables they unlocked via their achievements = This could be a big money maker for Microsoft, & another thing to draw in the casuals.

I hope you know how I feel about something like this… Lets say I hope it’s not true, because this is one thing I would love to be wrong about, but how else will Microsoft make it so people can show-off their Avatar stuff?

an Avatar world? i’d hate it. i think i’d use it about as much as i use the Avatar. which equals…not at all lol. but i do think it’s cool to unlock Avatar stuff via gameplay.

Well Deac… My gut feeling is that it has something to do with an Avatar store like you suggested, but so much more = I’m thinking an Avatar world (I.E. Sony’s HOME) that will have far more things to do inside it.

I’m still trying to save points to finally purchase Braid and Peggle…

What I do hope is that new wear is released for those who had accomplished more than 75% of most of the games. Would like to wear the Indi hat and whip…

There is no way I am paying for avatar items, but it would be cool if game achievements were linked with avatar stuff. For example, it might be cool if an avatar could be dressed in full MJOLNIR Armor if one beats Halo Reach on Legendary. It would be instant recognition for a likely difficult achievement.

i’m not gonna buy a virtual car for 320 points.

Yeah, they’re going to charge MS points if you want to buy the clothes. There’s a screenshot where an avatar is playing with the RC Warthog prop, and the price for it is 320 MS points. Who knows if the price will be lowered, but for now it looks like we’re going to have to pay.

lol @GreenLantern We see you…. O_O

It would be nice if they turned our gamer score into something finally because I’m damn sure not paying for fake shirt or something to put on my fake avatar…… I would maybe buy a U360 shirt lol but come on, please no real money for fake tings. If i can’t load up my avatar and find a level to explore in my shirt or coupons for REAL cookies (pop tarts also?) then this will make me cry at night. Microsoft does want me to cry right?
