You Can Dress Your Avatar In All This Stuff

Whether you think the new Avatar marketplace on the 360 is a great way to customise your online persona or a stupid waste of everyone’s time and money, you’ll probably want to take a look at the wardrobe options.

Microsoft released these shots today that show pretty much everything you’ll be able to pay for, from designer gear to avatar cosplay, Gears of War-style.

      That’d be like removing the ads from the dashboards for gold subscribers.

      Seriously, you’d think the biggest company in the world would stop finding new, annoying ways to make money SOMETIME!

      Amen.

      Or at least have stuff like the COG armour free if you’ve got certain achievements in Gears 2.

    Wow… so there’s about 4 different pieces of clothing and we get to see them on avatars standing in 20 different poses? Seriously, some of those pictures are identical and others are just the same but the avatar is waving or clapping instead of standing upright.

    Most of these should be free, and only the truly special wardrobes should be worth up to 100 points max, and they’d have to be pretty bloody good too. At around $3-5 bucks AU i’m thinking, you can f**k right off.. that’s a beer.

    The achievement based wardobe goodies will take aaaages to dribble out, and i’m still gonna have a difficult time blowing 200-300+ points to deck out my once-set avatar..

    but if i could look and move like a decent zombie… i might.. just might, give up a beer for that.

    Battlefield Heroes made this acceptable by making it a f2p game. We pay the price of a new game every year and we still have to pay for a model that doesn’t do ANYTHING! Gold should get free clothes or game related achievements unlock clothes.
