They are cute, little virtual Xbox people which you may think are great but in reality are just cheap rip offs from the Wii. I think that Mircosoft should come up with more original ideas, I don't know maybe a picture of ourselves boxed inside a cube, anything's possible really if you actually use your own head in stead of using other companies' ideas. The similarities of the two "gaming avatars" are very noticeable, almost like Microsoft just taking the artwork from the Miis and putting them on the Xbox 360 ,and saying here's our new social gaming experience of the Xbox 360 without telling you they are steals from the Wii's famous Miis. Gamers like myself have already found out right when we downloaded the "new experience " we knew that they were NOT original. Now I'm not dissing Mircosoft's Xbox 360 because, (I own one and its awesome) but I'm just saying Mircosoft Avatars are a stupid non- original idea that Microsoft created just to boost their popularity in the gaming business.

Sure is 8 months ago here. I don't really mind them. They could've been worse. They don't bother me but if they were deleted I wouldn't mind either. I still dearly miss the old Dashboard. Those were the gamer-days.

Everything in the gaming industry is basically just a copied and then improved version of something else... Literally just about everything.

Cool rant, I don't care. Avatars are fun to mess with and they don't harm the 360 in anyway. MS saw how it was cool for the Wii, so they did something similar for the 360.

the only thing I dislike is that there isn't enough attire to choose from.

Meh, they may have a lot of similarities, but I prefer the Avatars over the Mii's, for a couple reasons. One is that you can tell right of the bat the Avatars look a lot nicer graphic wise than the Mii's, and I am pretty sure Avatars have more customizable options.

Are all the avatars latent homosexuals? they all stand kind of "mo" is you ask me...

How can you have a avatar with a scar on his face, and trying to give him an intimidating look. When he has his hands on his hips and leaning to one side with a very gay stance...

No way, both Mii and Avatars are copying MMORPG Avatars, but, there is no games, just the character.magicalclick
You can use your Mii in a few games. Avatar is gonna get that 1vs100, and racing thingy.

At least avatars don't look like balloon animals like the Miis. I still think they're stupid though.

Same. Every time I get on, that handsome little devil staring back at me brightens my day, (because I myself am a handsome little devil).

Sorta off topic here, but why can we not just useour own pictures as our gamer picture? i like the idea with the cube the OP commented about. so like you can have 6 pictures of yourself.
