Quantcast



Not only do I know how excited you are to start browsing the Avatar Marketplace, I know you're super psyched to watch me browse the Avatar Marketplace.

Last night, I gave you the run down on what you can find in the Avatar Marketplace and how much it'll cost. But what's it like using it? What does it look like in action? Burning questions, only answered by hard-hitting journalism, of course. 

Hit the jump for a video walkthrough of what's currently on the Avatar Marketplace in the next NXE update, scheduled to hit all Xbox 360s in August.

The sad thing is that people will actually buy this shit. I'm half tempted to start a website that names and shames people who have paid for avatar items, kinda like how newspapers have named and shamed child sex offenders.

LOL... I guess the outfits, furniture and houses in PSN Home must sell decently if MS is getting into that stuff too!

Well the awards seem pretty cool. I'm already an achievement whore so there is another reason to run through a game a second time. Doubt I will pay 160 mp for a rubber chicken with a pulley......at least not for two weeks.

I don't know what I'm more excited for: the ability to buy clothes for my avatar, or the ability to twitter and facebook about how awesome my avatar looks.

I can only hope twitter and facebook are ad supported so my tweets about my awesome giant q-tip and and halo 3 shirt includes an ad for Halo OSDT/Project Natal/any other equally awesome Microsoft product!!

The future is now.

@ParaParaKing:

Are you referring to the coverage of the NXE update? Because that would be an idiotic comment, so I'm going to assume you meant something else.

Please don't spend money on Avatar clothing/stuff. Anyone. Ever.

@drunk Ste: of course. because, y'now, spending your money on luxury goods nobody actually needs but may want is obviously just as much a reason to ridicule and defame someone as raping a 2 year old.
