For the right price, your Avatar can become Isaac Clarke photo

I know this is Xbox 360 Avatar news, but don't run away just yet! For once, the new merch is actually quite cool. Of course, as always, it probably costs more than you'd ever be willing to pay.

The Marketplace has been updated with a new line of Avatar clothing and objects for Dead Space, NBA 2K10, NBA LIVE 10, and NCAA Football 10. It's the first one that's got my attention. $6 for the full engineer outfit may be too rich for my blood, but I'm sure the next time I get on 1 vs. 100 I'll see a crowd of Isaac Clarke wannabes.

As for the jerseys, uh, right. If you are that fanatical about a team, more power to you. I don't have any room to speak, seeing as how I'm basically a cheerleader for Dead Space as it is.

The first thing I said when I saw the whole avatar thing revealed was 'if they give me an Isaac Clarke costume I might be tempted to buy some of this fake digital clothing...'.
And looking at how awfully deformed the helmet is, along with the absence of the actual suit, I'm going to continue this embargo on avatar clothing. Oh sure, it tempted me with Mass Effect-themed stuff, though it didn't have anything I quite wanted.

God damned MS knows my love of Dead Space. Shit is unfair.

And why the hell did they put the level 3 suit? Why not the 360 level 5 suit or something? Either way, I bought the suit. Not the helmet.

i love deadspace. but spending real money on pimping out your avatar is pointless. buy a xbla title instead.

"For the right price..." This is where it became not worth it.

Why do they have to keep Avatar PG-13?

The Ishimura's bow in that pic reminds me of... well, something else.

I wish instead of charging, they would tie this stuff to achievements or something. ie. When Shadow Complex did it with two gamer profile pictures, that was neat to see. Otherwise, as cool as it might be, No.

@RIMoonlight: the suit has been up since its release, looks pretty sweet but still not worth spending money on

Wow, people got that much spare cash to buy virtual stuff for their Xbox 360 Avatar? I mean hell...Video game consoles are $300 + add-ons, the video games cost anywhere from $50-$70, more if you go collectors edition, then there's DLC like maps and such for another $10-$20. Who's got all that free cash on hand all the time?
