Saints Row 2 Avatar items hit Xbox LIVE Marketplace photo

For those waiting patiently to dress their Avatars as a pimp or in a hot dog costume, your day has come. THQ has announced that it has released a slew of Saints Row 2 Xbox 360 Avatar items on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

This stuff will range from 80 MS Points to 400 MS Points, and includes Ultor t-shirts, a purple suede pimp pimp outfit, and other Stillwater gang-related gear. Watch out, though -- wear the wrong colors in the wrong Game Room arcade and get capped. Or something.

The Avatar items for a game that was released in 2008 serve a reminder that, oh yeah, developer Volition is working on Saints Row 3. Will we see it at E3? Maybe if you buy enough Avatar items; get one of each to really seal the deal.

I love Saints Row 2, but I can't bring myself to pay $1 for a shirt, or $5 for a hot dog suit.

Lmao. That's good stuff. If I wasn't saving my money for the Super Street Fighter IV Avatar outfits, I'd consider getting the Hotdog, lol.

@RenagadePanda: After a second look.. LOL!

YES! More ADVERTISEMENTS to pay for.

I love Saints Row, but this Avatar crap is mother fucking bullshit of the highest degree.

My stupid avatar will keep wearing the lame ass FREE Perfect Dark shirt that I unlocked for FREE.

@Killrig

You should play L4D2. Way better free shirts, and a free medkit as well.

I love Saints Row 2, but I still cannot support paying money for clothes for your stupid avatar.

I'd rather spend points on the DLC for this game, and the DLC for this game is horrible.

Timely release ftw! I hope this means we'll be getting the big Saints Row 3 blowout at E3. This time with four-player co-op gangbanging and even more tranny fun!

Haven't bought anything for my avatar yet, rocking the Bing shirt with a grill and a MW2 helmet. That Pimp Suit though is amazing. I use to run around wearing that exact get up in SR2.

Well to get your avatar to look like the one in the picture its 720 ms points of 9 dollars. I guess I'll be sticking to my free stuff.

I love these games. In my opinion, they're much better than GTA. I enjoy them more since it is so obviously over the top. And by "over the top" I mean hyperbolic parody stuff, not Sylvester Stallone as a trucker turning his hat backwards and arm wrestling "over the top".
