What the hell are us normal people supposed to wear?

Just give me some jeans and a black hoodie, damn it. Not everyone believes they are fucking Bam Magera.

I keep recustomizing my Avatar, but Microsoft needs to hire a fashion designer to sort out their wardrobe.

[Your Good Twin]

Oh thank god, Pink Sweat Bands, FINALLY!!

[Emabulator]

I'm all over the Day-Glo Zebra Print Pumps.Make sure you are wearing those for the pictures we all know you're going to take at the Street Fighter Arcade Fighting Stick midnight launch party. :p

My Number One problem with Avatars.

Good number of clothing options, ONE EFFING COLOR PER AVAILABLE EACH?

How hard is it to do a pallet shift on the polo shirt or Docker-style pants for that matter? The lack of color variety is striking.

(Yes I know the real reason this is done this way is so down the road they can try to sell me colors. Screw that.)

Hmm... I have a bad feeling this is going to be the only new content we see this week.

I'm waiting for the ability to beat my avatar to death. Come on, MS...give me true customization options. I want a digital shovel and a hole in the ground. :D

It's like sackboy clothing, except free.

On the one hand, they're ahead of Nintendo on allowing updates to your Avatar/Mii. On the other hand...it's still all just completely retarded.

Does anyone imagine seeing their Xbox Avatar being used in a game like GTA4? Not that MS was even thinking that. They saw what sold and stole it...again. And now this stuff's for free? Shit! They pretty much stole it all in the first place, so if anything it should all be free to gamers, and they should still be paying Nintendo for it. After all, where would all this be without them?

Customizable avatars are nothing new.
Nintendo took the idea from the PC...

[Zecon]

uhmm still releasing kick ass games while Nintendo isn't?
And where did Nintendo get the idea for Downloadable games?
In fact there is very little (outside the motion sensing) that Nintendo has done that is at all original. Of course if you want to call rereleasing games with minor graphics tweaks and motion sensing for 50 bucks original.

I just can't shake the idea that MS is now the Goodwill of digital life; free and reduced prices on clothing! :)
