No way!

i went a head and bout an IF shirt. pretty much cause it was 80 ms points and i had a balance of 90 ms points.avatar stuff is more like impulse buys between ms point buys. so i don't go for the 400 point stuff.

Yeah straight up, I'll get if I can dress like one of those airport terrorists.

If they would just let you buy what you want instead of making you buy 500 or 100 points every time you want to get something we wouldn't have those 80 ms points left. Why is there a type of microsoft money anyway? Why can't I just buy what I want for the exact same price that it is with a debit/credit card. It pisses me off!

@PKNugget
Because they avoid tax this way along with exchange rates.

Listen to Jon B. I live in Maryland and I pay taxes on my MSP.

*guilty of buying an item*

I had 80 extra points, so I got that big ass pirate hat. Please don't hate me too much.

The Props and shit though are really goofy and only get worse for the like $5 bucks they cost. The only reason these items aren't unlockable, is because they can get away with it a la Call of Jesus MW2. :p

Yea, I bought one thing: A PA shirt (Wombat). I've always liked that shirt, so I spent spare MS points to buy it.

@Pic0o
If there was a Call of Jesus pack for the avatars with Jesus blowing shit up, then I [b]would[/i] shell out money for this useless shit.

But alas.

I got the free Rock Band Beatles shirt... if it's less than $1 I <i>MIGHT</i> think about buying something... but not for anything more than $1.

pointless waste of money. I've only ever bought two things for my avatar. And i think those are a waste

I'll admit I bought a Philadelphia Eagles jersey for my avatar but I'm pretty sure that'll be the only one.

If anybody pays for this stuff you are stupid. You are the reason companies can charge people to change virtual clothing. The same goes for PShome

Never have I paid money for Avatar junk, but I've seen people on my friend list who have. And I do sport the PAX '09 shirt, but that was given to me, at PAX '09.

I'm completely guilty, having bought several things out of boredom and nerd status. But the MW stuff is actually cheaper or equal to the other offerings, save for the ghost suit. Hell, the lightsaber is 400 points, the Halo Hog was 320. Given that this (MW2) is more popular than both the aformentioned sources, 240 for that UAV is cheap. Granted, it is still 3 bucks, but I'll probably wind up buying it because...well, I can.

But that Ghost Uniform has to be the worst piece of avatar clothing to date. Ever.

The reason I didnt buy the Left 4 Dead expansion campaign on xbox was not because I was upset for having to pay for it when the PC got it for free. (Even though I was, I would have bought it anyway.) No, the reason I didnt get it was because it cost a retarded 7 dollars. What was I going to do with that extra 3 dollars on my account? Buy some useless crap that I dont want like this avatar stuff? No thanks. Fuck you Microsoft.

I've never bought anything for my avatar and I never will. He's wearing a suit so his clothes are expensive enough I would assume.

I wasn't planning to buy anything out of the marketplace......BUT I saw a Clemson shirt and it all went downhill from there. A bowl of nugs and $10 later, I felt like I had lost a piece of my soul.

I just can't think of a good reason to spend anything over a dollar on this shit. If this stuff was 8 points instead of 80 (10c compared to $1) I would be all over this. I can buy a t-shirt from Sears that I can ACTUALLY WEAR for $5. Why the FUCK would anyone support any of this overpriced BS. If you keep throwing your money at MS they will continue to charge $3 for a virtual toy your avatar pulls out about 1/5 times I am at your profile in the dashboard. Its called micro-transaction, not regular priced-transaction.

There are no materials, no manufacturing, no distribution. The only price point is what they think you poor saps are going to pay for a fake t-shirt that takes a minimal amount of time to design and create. I feel dumb even talking about why this (Avatar marketplace in general) is so dumb.
