#Xbox 360

Okay, maybe this whole avatar thing is a little cooler than I personally expected -- after all, my Mii looks nothing like me, and at least my 360 avatar kind of does. I did expect that the avatars would be an excuse for Microsoft to create a massive virtual wardrobe and charge gamers through the ass for it, so seeing that the first new additions are free was certainly a breath of fresh air.

Male avatars can look forward to a brown snowboarding jacket and a brown beanie with flames, along with blue and white gloves and a black pair of snow boots. Females can choose from a blue ski jacket, white snow boots, pink and white gloves and a red beanie. Sure, it's no runway fashions or anything, but it is free. I wonder what we can expect to see next?

Super awesome!

Char Aznable

It doesn't get much better than free.

The sample of cocaine has been provided, lets see how far it goes.

Josh Tolentino

Miis are going to have to start offering clothes. Well, that, or I'm going to have to get less embarrassed about making a character that looks like myself in Home.

SneakerElph

Do the Miis have regular wardrobe updates? I could see this potentially becoming a good way for MS to make advertising money by offering logo'd clothing for free for avatars.

welkstar

Fun! I really enjoy the avatars. I dunno, I've got customization-fever.

Wghj55

It would be cool if they offered game specific clothes, like a master chief helmet or like banjo's backpack w/ kazooie.

brainderailment

Why none of the 3 offer fat avatars is beyond me.

Cube

I hate avatars.

the least they could do Is put out all the clothes at the same time I know there are other ones they got they have not put up that look done enough to me.

"Why none of the 3 offer fat avatars is beyond me."

They're very self-conscious...

Holyetheline

I would like a cute little Christmas outfit!

specter620

I would just like to be able to have my avatar wear a replica of my glasses, which for some reason seem only available to female avatars. Apparently only chicks have rectangular frames. Oh and let me pick a plain t-shirt that isn't baby blue, assholes.

KMCC

Does that avatar have nipples??

Mr Wrighty 987

i think it does KMCC

ChronosWing

I saw this last night but when I went to customize my avatar the new clothing was no where to be found. Haven't checked today.

Yukai

I still find these avatars dross, I wanted to add some facial piercings to mine with no luck :(
Still new clothes for free so you can't really moan about it.

Dan CiTi

I fuckin hate this shit even more than usual because I am in a bad mood.

TrailerParkJesus

sweet, digital clothes.

vexed alex

Meh. This is cool, guess.

I'm still upset over the fact that my avatar can't be as fat I wanted him to be.

Nik565

This can only get better if they PAID us to get this.

Tactix

*crosses fingers for pinstripe fedora next*

ZekeThePlumber

No matter how you dress them, in the end they will all somehow wind up resembling Ellen Degeneres.

Dexter345

Heh.
