Dress Your Xbox Live Avatar for the Recession & Get a Little Poorer in the Process

@KayleL

I wasnt trying to ignite a flame war with the PC users comment, I was merely pointing out that a physical form of expression on screen is a lot more involving than a little grey live mic icon saying that xXx Detfr33k117 xXx is talking to me, on top of that I have met a grand total of 5 annoying american kids on xbox live, people are just too quick to highlight the fact that they exist as some sort of main focal point

@Jedi

the "mii wannabe" rhetoric has been used since the NXE was announced, think of something new, preferably a valid point

I spend my microsoft points on kit to improve my gaming experience, if I deem that a locust helmet would be quite a cool addition to my character then i am happy to drop a couple of M$P on it, that doesnt make me a douche, that makes me me, dont insult me on by assuming that my willingness to spend money is a negative on my part

chick chick chick chick chickeeeeen lay a little egg for meeeeee!

I don't see what you're all complaining about. They're not forcing you to buy this stuff and if you do, most of the stuff on there is like, what? 50p, if even that.

Playstation Home has been cranking out stuff to dress up your avatar with for a while. It sells pretty well, according to Sony. No one forced anybody to use Home though, which is little more than a glorified chat room with a ton of ads plastered everywhere. I do like the fact that it pretty much puts a large portion of the crap I dislike about the internet in one area that I have to download and install to even look at. Makes it so easy to avoid.

That is rather amusing in a back-ass-wards kind of way. 

We're poor, so here's some useless stuff that demonstrates you're poor to waste what little money you still have on.

This is shamefully stupid.  There's really no other way to describe it.

It seems insulting to a certain degree, the past recession wasn't bad for the people with money, just like now, the ones without money wouldn't be able to buy this fluff, much less look at it. Maybe it's just me.
