Epic will also be giving serious Gears fans a chance to dress like their favourite Locust beast, a look that’s still human, but with just enough alien to make it convincing.
Start saving up those Microsoft Points, kids. While Bleszinksi and Fergusson didn’t put a price on these new Avatar get ups, we have to imagine they’ll cost you something.

Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 9:44 PMI guess you’re also the type of person to spend $6 on a new ringtone when you can download the whole track from itunes for about $1?
This whole spending money on your avatar is the most lame idea. How long before they start an avatar beauty pageant? No wait, don’t steal that idea off me Microsoft – I want royalties.

Sunday, July 26, 2009 at 11:41 PMUmm yeah…
The ringtone I have right now cost me $0…since you know, you can use Google and download things from Free.
240 points is what, bout $4? I could go and buy an overpriced coffee…or a Coke from so cafe.
I wanna have a bit of fun with the Avatar. Man you guys are dicks sometimes.

Monday, July 27, 2009 at 10:10 AMAgreed, I want major acheivements (Complete story, complete 100% etc) Perhaps 1-2 of the biggest acheivements to award Avatar clothing. Imaging completing 100% of GTA Vice City and actually wearing the “I completed Vice City and all i got was this lousy T-Shirt” T-Shirt around the marketplace. That is Hardcore!
I don’t disagree that if you want to spend the money then you are free to but if they offer free acheivement based content along side of the premium paid-for content, the free stuff will likely be rubbish!

Monday, July 27, 2009 at 1:31 AMComplete the game, get the armor. But they sell themes rather than give them to you with the game you just paid for so you’ll have to buy em. Me I don’t pay for themes or clothes for an Avatar.
