Additional sunglasses to be added to the Avatar Editor photo

Major Nelson is a tease. Yesterday afternoon, the Xbox LIVE guru announced the arrival of additional sunglasses to the Avatar editor via his blog. Men and women were said to receive a variety of multi-colored “Shutter Shades.” The men, for whatever reason, will also receive a pair of “Hippy Shades.” Despite the monumental nature of the update, Microsoft has yet to release it.

The delay is unfortunate news. Through research, we’ve learned that three kinds of people wear sunglasses: hip people, freedom fighters jacked into the Matrix, and glaucoma patients. Who wouldn’t want to give their Avatar either of those characteristics through the power of eyewear?

In other news, I uploaded a picture of myself wearing “Pilot” sunglasses. And look, I’m waving! How adorable. (We’ll keep you updated about the glasses.)

@Blasto: First of all, home sucks! Second, ILY lol! Home looks fun but I'll stick with the Xbox avatar. Home would just distract me from playing Killzone or MGS4(If I had a PS3).

I am looking forward to the shutter shades. Been waiting for those babies for awhile now he he

Your obsession with cocksucking scares me as well as everyone else reading this. (If I may speak for the majority) If I recall, you love being able to put some new "dazzle" on your Xbox avatar. If you were really against it, you would leave it on the little kid with the rock shirt and mohawk. You really need to watch your mouth mister before someone shoves a bar of soap in it. (I'll make sure it's red like in A Christmas Story)

P.S.
