How do you feel about paying for virtual clothing on XBL and PSN? *56k*

I have bought clothing for Maple Story before....HarlockJC

I think it is pointless but some people will think it is cool. I just dont see the point of buying virtual accessories.

Ill probably use the free stuff that is unlockable with certain games though lol.

I don't even bother using Home. I don't have to pay for anything.

I didn't like the idea when it debuted in Home and I don't like it now.

I'm fine with the default clothing, thank you.

i dont feel for them.....i dont acknowledge them...i dont even speak about them....i dont want them..

I don't actually care im not gonna buy it so i dont see a problem if people want it then go ahead, one cant really complain about something thats there yet your not forced to buy.

I honestly think its stupid. IF they could blend trophies or achievements to unlock clothes that would be sick.

I feel sorry for the people that buy it and I feel somewhat angry at MS and Sony for taking advantage and exploiting the easy simple minded casual consumer.

It's despicable. Simply by saying your not buying it, isn't going to resolve the problem. Thats just running away from it. Like a coward. Complain away people.

I dont put it in the same category as milkage. Its just one of those things that if you want it, you can get it. Not a big deal. I pass on it though.

Oh about paying for virtual clothing, I have 30 ms points left and I cant buy anything with it but if I could waste it on stupid avatar clothing at 10pts a piece I would do that

RIP OFF! these things should be free.

WOW...what garbage...who gives a crap? this isnt my little barbie, its video games...sigh

Business wise, it's a smart move....as a consumer I'll never drop money for fake clothes but that's just me.

I buy the occasional theme/gamerpicture, so this isn't really any different to me.
Though, this is probably the last thing I'll buy. You can't really top being a pirate.



I only ended up spending about 500pts.
And, anyways, eventually there will be more games that support avatars, so this will get used more than just a prop on the DashBoard.

id never pay for them, but i think the LBP outfits are the biggest rip off.

excellent, i've spent over £200 decorating my avatars and my virtual home...

i would never buy these at all, i never use home. the avatars look at me for 10 seconds while i sign in and load up the game so i doubt i will ever pay for either.

i don't pay for any dlc unless it's a downloadable game like braid, so i guess the chAnce of me buying clothes etc. are round about 0%

That doesnt irk me as much as when you have to pay 2 bucks apeice to get different/upgraded weapons, a la Dead Sace...you'd have to spend another $30 bucks on top of the game to get all the upgraded weapons! Thats booty, son!!!

idc because i don't buy them but somewhere someone will and i won't judge them for it... they earned the $ so they can do with it what they want

I'm not going to buy any clothing for home or avatars as they're both garbage and useless IMO.Flamestos

game set and match, avatars and home are the worst thing to happen to HD system this gen (other than RROD)

What else am I going to waste my extra 100-300 MS points on.

Never buy them.blazndragon0

I can't believe people are actually willing to pay for what's essentailly a picture of a shirt. It's such a rip off.

Wait, you have to pay for that junk? OMFG, what a load of garbage. I'm just wondering if people actually buy that crap.

The problem isn't with microtransactions, the problem lies with what you're buying the costumes for. I can see it taking root and making tons of money in an MMO because you're constantly spending time on that character. However, Home and Avatars don't really integrate into any game, and few people actually care about them. I mean, sure, it doesn't hurt them to run a microtransaction business on the side, and they'll probably make a tidy sum of money off of it, but it's not boing to be a crucial part of the experience.

80 Points seems steep when you won't see your avatar in many places at all... More keen on achievement unlockable accessories, but that said, the sims 3 content gets sold like crazy and I doubt this venture will be any different...Sykmyn

Don't care, if I see something I like, I don't mind spending money on it. Even if I spent a hundred dollars on avatar clothing, it's a negligible amount. Though I highly doubt I'll be spending even a tenth of that.DonPerian

It's good to have options.

It's idiotic IMO, but it does make some cash for MS and Sony.

Real money for virtual clothes=fail. If they expect me to dish about real money, they better send me a freaking T-shirt in the mail. The only I would pay for a digital outfit is with some kind of digital currency.
