TeamXbox writes: "Microsoft really came out swinging at this year's Tokyo Game Show. More details and a title for the new game in the Halo series, Halo 3: Recon. The news that Tekken 6 will be headed to the system. Big XBLA titles in the pipe like Metal Slug and a Space Invaders remake. But the thing that really hits at the core of what it's like to be an Xbox 360 gamer – something that not enough Japanese gamers are enjoying – is the redesign of the Xbox Live interface.
Though it has been revealed before and laid out in some detail, this year's TGS was our first real opportunity to see the Xbox Live redesign, also referred to as the New Xbox Live Experience, up close and personal. After getting a demo direct from Xbox Live Group Manager Aaron Greenberg, we can tell that the redesign is far more than just a cosmetic face lift, but there are some aspects to it we're still feeling a bit conflicted about. Namely those avatars."
With the release of the new Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace, users are able to but new clothing for their avatar. Although it is a good way to use up unused points, is Microsoft just trying to get us to spend even more money on virtual clothing?
Well yes but they are not forcing you to buy these things. They should have it free tho to be honest. Its also a nice option for suckers.
Xbox Live's Avatar Marketplace is now open for business. While for many gamers the new feature is all fine and good, for many others, it's proving to be the battle of the century.
The reason for this ongoing battle? The pricing of the Avatar Marketplace. Some things, like tees caps, and various other Avatar-decking apparel are available for the low price of 80 MS Points, which translates into $1.00 in US currency. Those are cool. The debates are being stemmed by a relative few items, which are proving to be a bit more expensive.
Before you say it, yes I wrote this article. So of course it makes sense to me. :D
I seriously think the Avatar Marketplace costs too much. Have a read & make your own choice!
the avatar marketplace is too much its way too much i mean i love the whole idea of marketplace but damn those prices
Every week, from now on, Loading Reality will bring you video, descriptions, and prices for all of the new Avatar items to hit the Marketplace. This is the initial launch of the NXE, and with it comes some new items for your avatar.
