Hey Guys,

I'm a pretty avid gamer when I have the time, most genres appeal to me and I'm always down to jump into a multiplayer game. All time favourite game? I'd have to say Fire Emblem for the GBA, can't count how many times I've replayed that gem. Anyways I'm always ready to play a game so drop me a friend request on PSN or LIVE and we'll game the night away!

Just a small concern really..

Doesn't the sudden emergence of this whole avatar fad seem a bit band-waggonish to anyone? I mean the WIi had the Mii's, 360 has Avatars, and now the PS3 is starting to follow suit. Is it really necessary for all users to have an avatar? Is it just a way for people to create an image that they would like to be perceived as or is actually the perception of ourselves. Maybe I'm just overthinking it all haha.

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

@Wifie
The PS3 always had avatars? They were just pictures, but still avatars.

It doesn't really concern me at all actually, customization is a key interest of the majority of gamers, and one solid representation of you as a gamer that you have sooo much control over is a very satisfying feeling for most. I know it is for me. It also makes you a bit more personal with your console and its online communities. So as band-waggonish it may be, any current gen console OSwithout an Avatardatabase of some sort would seem incomplete to me at this point in the game.

I think creating Miis and calling them "avatars" is jumping on the bandwagon, yes.

Nah.

Yeah it's some bandwagon junk for sure. I don't even care about Mii's, avatars, or other gay shit like that.
