Is the Avatar Marketplace Worth It?

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?

I think that Microsoft seriously is scamming us with the marketplace.

IaMs125794d ago

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.

nomoregameblogs5794d ago

i love how the avatars look so happy that the just wasted their money

thegreatest78845794d ago

400 msp is way too much to pay for an outfit.

muddy94945794d ago

That is true. I dont like the way we have to pay 5 bucks for a silly outfit.

Darren_y25794d ago

Any money for a virtual item, to me is too much money.

Xbox Live Update Brings Avatar Marketplace Pricing Debate to Twitter

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.

Avatars Playing Dreamcast? Avatars In Zelda?!

www.xboxinsider.net writes: "Check out this unseen video for the Xbox 360 Avatars, which shows them:

» Playing Dreamcast, among other old consoles
» Playing Gears of War
» Playing what looks like Zelda….Just check out that Master Sword!
» Whipping something out from down below….
The video was produced by a company called Roger, for use at E3. However due to time constraints the video was never used."

Best video for avatars ever...

They showed the dreamcast controller turn into the xbox 1 controller to xbox 360 controller .

That was interesting....

Gears of war was funny to see .

green5818d ago

Microsoft need to make some cool 3d action games using the Avatars.Lets see how the free to play Joy Ride turns out.

Syronicus5818d ago

Still play that darn thing from time to time.

SpoonyRedMage5818d ago

It seems they're trying to play up the Dreamcast-->Xbox heritage there. Dreamcast was awesome.:D

tordavis5818d ago

Actually it was the Atari 2600 controller -> Colecovision controller -> Dreamcast controller -> Xbox 1 controller -> Xbox 360 controller.

Poopface the 2nd5818d ago (Edited 5818d ago )

cause the xbox was like the DC 2, but it obvious why they dont want to have a Sony or Nintendo console controller.

Maybe they will get powerstome games on live.

Bnet3435818d ago

That was a nice little video. I liked it. :3

FamilyGuy5818d ago

Why would they NOT show this at E3?
What's that upcoming thing where sonys taking 3hrs? I bet M$ shows this video there.

RockmanII75818d ago

dont know what the future holds....Natal and all these updates...cant wait

KingKionic 5818d ago

I wonder if Microsoft going for a 3d world .

It would make since be cause in a 3d world it`s like a mmo but without walls .

AAACE55818d ago

You just sparked my imagination! It would be cool as hell if they made an MMO and you could use your avatars as your main characters!

NegativeCreepWA5818d ago

The vid looks more like a demo of the 360s future features, not avatar features. Kind of like the LBP video Sony used a few years ago.

Kushan5818d ago

I don't think this video is anything significant, I think it was meant to show off the 360 rather than anything special about Avatars.

KingKionic 5818d ago

lol

Those sam fisher goggles was pretty funny to look at .
