If your 360 avatar is in need of some overpriced, officially licensed attire to help ring in St. Valentine’s Day, Microsoft, 2K and THQ have you covered with some BioShock 2 and Red Faction: Guerilla clothing purchases.
They’re your standard fare, a mix of game-themed t-shirts and replica costumes from the titles themselves.
I still don’t understand why these aren’t free; surely wearing this stuff serves as advertising for the product in question, so the more people out there wearing it the better?

Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 11:58 AMYeah I thought that was part of the idea of avatars in the first place – getting avatar gear by completing achievements.
I guess that’s not a money spinner though.
Also: in game achievement rewards. Why is mass effect the only game (that I know of) that does this?

Thursday, February 11, 2010 at 10:55 AMEveryone complains about the cost etc etc but when I look through my 100 strong friends list much more than half have something on their avatar they have purchased – I didn’tagree with it and still don’t agree with some of the pricing but I have still bought a few items that I really liked… Who’s at fault MS or us for playing the role of consumer?
