Are Avatars worth spending money on?

Ken Crockett from Xcast Online asks, Are avatars really worth spending money on?

Once the update went live this week, many people in the preview program were excited to find that much more was available in the Avatar Marketplace. You would think this would make people happy as there is more selection right? WRONG! Very quickly people realized that Microsoft, an actual business, would like to do just that – run a business and make money. People’s protests of the prices, while commendable are in vain.
