Random Fable duds, COG armor, Banjo shorts & backpack... Any mascot/franchise-type character's duds would be cool, really. Those Street Fighter outfits that look fugly in Home would look a lot slicker on a deformed little caricature, y'know?

There's tons of possibilities for this, so we shall see...

Tesla armour from Fallout 3 would be pretty nifty. If I ever did anything with my avatar, anyways.

I still simply want to be able to mix 'n match my existing gamerpics w/various colored t-shirts.

@Cotton McKnight:

I don't know, is it ok? I have no experience with Home, as I do not own a PS3 yet. I mean, there are obvious differences between the two services and I don't personally see any appeal in entering a virtual environment which seems to serve no other purpose than to be shown advertising.

Sure, there are ads on the 360 as well. Lots of them. Years of internet use have allowed me to become skilled at completely ignoring such ads when I have no choice but to have them in front of me. Home, however, strikes me as volunteering to be advertised to.

I don't understand what implication you are making. Clothing options for avatars being just like Home? Well, we still don't know how that's going to shake out on either service yet and a lot of this is speculation.

Perhaps you could explain what you mean in more detail?

Gears suit.

I think they could make some cool things from this idea. Wearing clothes like trophies.

This is a great idea and what the avatars should have been used for from the get go. Same with furniture and stuff in Home. No one should be expected to buy that shit; make it unlockable in games instead.

@ Cotton-

Maybe it's because Sony promised so much with Home and didn't deliver? I mean, even the biggest Xbox fanboys knew that the NXE was just a new menu, some avatars and a few new features. Home was supposed to be like PS3's version of Second Life, and was supposed to blow us all away. When you pump up something that much and it turns out to be a bunch of bland wannabe-Sims environments with half-assed things to do and virtual furniture to buy, there will be backlash.

On the 360 side, the old dashboard had ads, the new one has ads. Who gives a shit? Sometimes, these ads even serve a purpose. I know a lot of people who own a 360, I'm the only one who reads gaming blogs or sites. Most of my friends wouldn't even know there was a new arcade game out if there wasn't an ad for it or if I didn't tell them. It's not as if they're checking Major Nelson's blog.

I don't recall anyone here even comparing the two until you did so. MS never claimed that the NXE was like a game in and of itself where whole new worlds would open up to you. It's a more attractive way to access a bunch of shit, and that's the function it performs. Honestly, you sound like a fanboy with hurt feelings and a chip on your shoulder here.

@Cotton, But to be fair, it is practically endless fun to make fun of people silly enough to buy virtual couches in home.

Unlocking things through in-game actions/achievements seemed like a no-brainer to me. Just give me a stupid gamer picture, anything. I wish we could choose the pictures that go along with achievements for our gamer pictures, because I would totally rock some of them from The Simpsons Game.

Conrad, are you (in your avatar) and Snoop wearing the same cool ass hat? Keep your pimp hand strong.

You never realized that text could convey tone? Just like you never realized that going into a 360 thread and starting a PS3 vs. 360 debate was fanboy behavior?

And now you're an internet tough guy, too. It's like all of the online stereotypes rolled into one!

In the magical pretend world that you speak of, I would have done nothing because the legions of soldiers in my magical army would have descended upon you and had you drawn and quartered. Then, I would have hopped back into my flying car and flown to an island full of hot chicks and adoring fans, and while I was being flown there, I would play a version of Home on my PS3 that didn't suck.

Would my "failed wit" be countering wit of your own, then? Can you show me where you have shown even an ounce of wit or humor (other than the unintentional humor that your comments are chock-full of)? Do so, and I will quickly get to "countering" it.

Again, have a nice day and it's been amusing. Have a great day being a total badass and definitely not being even a bit touchy or defensive about your shiny black PS3 and the wonderful world that is Playstation Home. Maybe one day when Home doesn't suck, I'll go there again and your avatar could boldly tell mine "Fuck you", which I would suspect would be what you would deem to be reality.

Aperture science test subject jumpsuit would be cool.

Gordon Freeman glasses or a Lancer gun as an accessory. :D

@akathatoneguy vs. Cotton

Cat fights have never been so arousing.

Oh, that was no fight. That was the verbal equivalent of me palming the forehead of a little kid while he helplessly tries to swing at me with his short, stubby arms.
