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.
