So...what they announced last year. Kind of underwhelming when they announce it two years in a row, like sharing movies on your 360 in a Live Party. I certainly won't be buying any clothes.
As i'm all for the increase of "avatar dress up", I don't plan to be buying any of the priced ones..unless they're really that awesome. (which I doubt.)
though I do like the game related ones that you can get via in game. At least Microsoft is pushing the avatars unlike Nintendo and Miis.

Lol avatars. I can't believe this is going so strong. They are the embodiment of everything wrong with modern gaming.
Very surprised it has taken this long for microsoft to milk that avatar cash cow.
Get ready to pay up, monkeys!

Surprise, motherfuckers!
This was expected, really. Blaming them is nothing. This was downright OBVIOUS.
Sony can't abuse their users more than MS! That doesn't work! It was time that MS fixed that up.
Still pro-360. Sony, step up a gear and save yourself now.

I like the idea of unlocking gear for my avatar; it has the same appeal as achievements. However, I will never pay money to dress up my avatar.
That's ridiculous, who would pay for virtual clothes? Now if they let you use your Achievement points for these obviously pointless accessories that could be reasonable, not sure I'd still get them, but it wouldn't make me lose more respect for MS in the way that Themes already do.
Oh dear at paying money for virtual clothes. Bugger that to hell.
Still, Home is proof that people actually will do that. Its a sad world.

Unlocking stuff through games should have been in from the get-go, because it seemed like such a no-brainer. But yeah, cool little bonus that has virtually no impact. No complaints here.
You should unlock a Mega Man outfit for getting all the achievements in the Mega Man 10 XBLA game that I just made up (but am desperately yearning for).

took them long enough to get the clothing achievements...now all we have to wait for is christmas before the first retail game offers it. kinda shoulda been at launch...but at least they got around to it. Since they're beating Nintendo to the show I can't wait for an achievement to win some Sonic sneakers.
I like the idea of in-game unlocks adds to the achievement aspect, but paying for the buggers? Yeah screw that.
Mind you if they did a 'Micro$oft' t-shirt I'm betting they'd be able to flog them to the mass influx of PS3 fanboys and jaded 360 owners alike! ;-)

I'm all for in game unlocks but fuck buying clothes. I would rather buy more dashboard themes that I barley look at.
I like the unlockable idea. And I like that they're at least giving people the option to buy clothes, not that I'm going to use it... but I'm glad the option is there.
Microsoft can go fuck themselves. When it come avatars, I'm not buying one single damn thing for it. I knew they would start charging for this stupid shit, it was only a matter of time! WTF ever happened to the whole "Velocity Girl" idea?
You know, how people we're suppose to be able to designed, and sell things on XBL Marketplace? Yeah right, that went away pretty fast didn't it? Because no casual, or none gamer is going to buy a $300 machine to make crappy virtual clothes, so Microsoft's just going to sell it to you instead!

I like the idea of "Rewardables," but I won't pay money for virtual clothes and accessories, ever.
Still, if getting 1000/1000 Gamerscore in a game gave a custom costume, I'd rock it. Another chance to show off the ol' e-peen.

Unlockables FTW. I'm not personally offended by them selling outfits. If you don't want it, don't buy it.
Hopefully these will even out my otherwise unusable MS point total. After that, I'll stick with the free stuff.
Never... ever. I'd be much more appreciative of achievement/unlock-only clothes that could be worn as (literal) badges and symbols of accomplishment after completing certain games/achievements.
But I'm not going to pay for my avatar to look any different. I'd rather pay 80MS points to make them all disappear from my screen and show gamerpics instead.

Unlockables are pretty cool. I don't see myself buying junk for my avatar, since it doesn't do much except stare at me when I'm waiting for the disc to be read. But hey, I'm sure there are people that will drop the cash for stuff.
Though, I'd buy stuff if it allowed me to turn my avatar into a zombie...
