So, they have not told us what will be available for the avatar market place but here is a small sneak peek for all you people.




The Avatar


The Props

Discuss. For me, i think Avatars now are more cooler, better and has a more better meaning for them.

When the Avatar Marketplace launches, which is pretty soon, hence, the update that happened on the 16th so, expect it to be soon.

Not sure about that but i could tell you that you'll be able to gain clothes/props and such by gaining achievements so now, gaining achievements has a bigger meaning to it then just bragging rights.

I think they already post the price. The interactive toys like Halo Warhog is about 400 MS Points. The cloths are cheaper, like 125MS Points or something. magicalclick
Yeah well, rest assured i won't be spending 0.1 of my microsoft points for these virtual items. The idea of unlocking achievements for clothes is enough for me, but, Having said that, say for example i buy an arcade game and im only left with 120 or 150 MS points...if thats the case then i may spend it on something instead of leaving it like that for nothing.

There will be a lot of people that will buy clothes for there avatars. People already know that. But, the whole achievement thing is pretty awesome.

I'm all for it. The Master Chief suit looks cool, but when every other avatar on XBL is wearing the same suit...well you're just not "special" anymore.:P

getyeryayasout

I guess there's a lot of people willing to pay for that but I sure as hell wouldn't. I like the idea of unlocking them as part of achievement awards but not for real money.

I much prefer it to be based off of achievments purely than MS points.

For every person that doesn't buy something, someone else will. And that's what they're counting on. :)

Finally they do this :D It's a good idea and I'm excited, hell I'll even pay for something cool like once or twice a year, because you know they will put cool things in there.

Master Chief's suit, the GeOW chainsaw I'm sure, and more random stuff like that..

Oh, btw, that Halo 3 shirt I own in real life 0.o lol.

But I do hope many developers do the achievement thing. That's the best part of this whole deal :D Make the chainsaw an item you can only get for getting Seriously 2.0! Haha that would be braggable.

The fact that they would sell any virtual avatar clothing/items for MS points sickens me. I, of course, would never buy any of it, but I know a lot of people will.

On the other hand, I think the achievement point system is a good idea. If some items are only buyable with MS points then it will pretty much ruin that though. Everything that they would of just given us in a update will go to the marketplace for achievement points, and everything that people will actually want will cost MS points. Oh well, I never liked this whole avatar thing anyway.

Thats exactly what microsoft wants you to do with that leftover money. I'm staying away from spending any money at all for avatar crap.

That an ODST.

I want a Master Chief suit. I'll even buy one if I have to, but I would prefer it to be something along the lines of getting the achievement for beating Halo 3 on Legendary.

yeah, thats a good idea.

Even so, some things will likely cost money. If you have a PS3 you should know about the prices for things in Home, it's pretty funny. You want to look like Chris or Sheva in Resident Evil 5? Well that will be $1 for gloves, $2 for pants, $2 for the vest, $1 for a hat. Pretty bad, hopefully if things are priced the prices are a little more fair.

Wonder if the achievement thing will be done for older games or if it is just for newer.

i think that wasa racist remark haha, but i would like it if you could spend your gamerscore on items or unlock them with acheivements. You could have an overall gamerscore and then how much gamerscore is left over from what you've spent.

Like everyone else, I like the achievements idea better. Now I just hope they have a Zune prop or overly-sized headphones as props.

I'd rather them cost, that way if i actually wanted my avatar to look good, i could make it unique, and not like what every other Tom, Dick and Harry has.

To have these free would be stupid, perhaps the acheivment would work, but they'd be losing loads of money if they didn't at least make them cost money at first to get at least some cash flow from this. Then maybe they'll go on sale or something.
