TeamXbox (http://www.teamxbox.com/) is reporting that themes for GRAW and The Outfit (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/10515/GRAW-and-The-Outfit-Themes-Available-Now-for-Download/) are now available for purchase on Xbox Live! for a 150 points a piece. In addition, a picture pack from the Outfit is available for 160 points.

I am personally waiting for a Dead Rising theme...but maybe that's just me.

The fact that people spend money on game themes for their Xbox Live control panel always amazes me.

I've even considered getting the Penny Arcade theme. . . but every time I go to buy Microsoft points I hear an evil voice chortling, "Dance! Dance consumer puppet! Dance!"

Then I realize I was just about to spend money on a freaking theme.

I know!!

I have been able to resist spending money on themes... but MS is hoping for some major impulse buying. Must. Resist!

As long as the money goes to the developers, I'm cool with buying the little thing every now and then.

There is a Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Theme and Gamer Pictures, but they aren't up on Xbox.com yet.

If I had a complaint, it would be that Xbox.com severly lags behind what you can find on the marketplace and how do you know if you want to buy something if you can't see it on Xbox.com?

I see your complaint and raise you one. The cost is not equal to the value. Considering the fact that these things are technically advertising, we should not have to pay for them. I would not pay to download a Nike commercial. I imagine this is more akin to buying a shirt with a Nike logo, which is also advertising and something I would not do. However, if they were to drop the price of these things by 50% or more, I would be inclined to advertise for them. For 25 cents, I'll brand your logo if I find it enhances my experience, but once you start getting into paper money, that's where I stop being interested.

I don't see why they can't include them in the cost of the game. Give me some free themes/pictures when I shell out $60 for your game. Heck, even if I have to register the game so that used games don't get the content, support me as I support you.

They need to stop releasing themes...because I can't resist buying them.
