I also just saw someone with a Unicorn and Minataur pet.

Now that is way cooler than anything Nintendo is doing with their Miis on the Wii (outside of putting them in games).

MS really has the best form of avatar, I like them more than Miis or the avatar/home creations from Sony. I'd like to have a LBP or MNR like designpossibility for avatars though :S And somehow the stuff for the avatar is insanely expensive. I wanted to get a light saber when they were released but they are too expensive and just not worth buying IMO

Avatars, Miis and Home are useless and shouldn't have even been brought into gaming IMO.

They are utterly useless. At least Mii's are like an account of sorts and can be used in games.

Man the direction that these guys are going is getting bad I mean I though buying a console was really about just playing games but all I seem to hear about anymore are social media crap like the Mii's, Home and the Avatars on top of Microsoft offering facebook, twitter and whatever else on their machines and then making it some sort of selling point? They might as well just start calling all these locked down computers because they are slowly turning into them.

all these Mii's/Avatars/Home stuff is lame

mostly how they charge you for clothing or Avatar items... which is dumb, because you can't do anything with Avatar items! i mean for $5 i'd rather buy a game, or 5 indie games

This. Because what we need is a virtual deformed human being as a representation of ourselves. How about some creative freedom please.

I ponied up the dough for the Boba Fett avatar costume. Lovin' it. I'm embarassed to admit it, but I think it's pretty neat. Not that Avatars are used for much.

I like the way in Xbox you have your own personal gaming profile with pets, cloth and game rankings. But it should be free like to get a pet you have to get that achievment or that many achievment to get that thing or play that game on 5 hours and you get this. That could be so much cooler!

Lol...same here. Only mine has the snowspeeder outfit and the yoda lightsaber.

There's really no harm in Avatars, Miis, or whatever other digital representations they come up with. If you don't want to use them, then don't use them. But don't take away from those who do.

Yeah, and as more and more games and applications take advantage of them I think their value will only grow.

I don't understand why people are complaining about buying stuff for your avatar because I don't buy any of these items and dress up my avatar just fine.

The Xbox Live Avatars are the best work Rare has done in the past 5 years.

I like the xbox avatar's I think they add a cool look to personalize your xbox experience. They are simply a bit of fun really, however i would like to see more customization towards a room for your avatar. I find Mii's quirky and different but I prefer the avatars

I think clothes for Xbox avatars and PS Home avatars should be unlocked with achievement points and trophies, respectively. Those useless score cards need something worthwhile attributed to them.

You actually have to pay real-life MONEY to have a little digital bird sit on the shoulder of your avatar, who does nothing other than stare at you when you have the 360 dashboard open. In my opinion? Fail. :P

Miis were cool at first but they later became an afterthought. Same for avatars. MS avatars are the worst imo. No matter what I did, I couldnt get it to look like me and didnt like the stance or the weird clothing.

Miis are better because you can actually make someone look like they do in real life my moving positions of the eyes, nose ect. Avatars for Xbox are just tools to get you to buy accessories for them.

The accessories are pretty cool, but the avatars themselves are repulsive to look at.
