The Avatar Winter Collection Now Available
The Avatar Winter Collection Now Available
Written Thursday, December 04, 2008 by Dan Webb

The new avatar winter line-up is now available for your avatars ... I call it a line-up, but it's more of an outfit.

Now available for download, for free may I add, are four new items of clothing; a hat, some gloves, a snowboarding jacket and some boots. Whilst it's not the big update some of us were expecting, it's a start.

All of the new items of clothing are available when you log in to NXE and new items will be clearly marked by a gold star which I'm sure will help in the long run.

Microsoft, why can't I access the online store yet?

Why did they not give us an option to change to colour on our clothes? I don't want to wear an orange and brown jacket.

But.. I suppose free is free so you can't really complain.

Just think, it's someone's actual job in Microsoft to come up with this rubbish. What a sad life they must lead.

Just a tad harsh #7. You were given something for free and you are going to get rid of the whole Xbox because you dont like it. At least threaten to kill a kitten or something. You cant play Gears on a kitten.

I'm taking my new clothes to the goodwill, or the local trash dump. I'm pretty sure that's a fitting place for them. They are like the clothes you get from Grandma for Christmas that you take back for game money cause the clothes are so lame.

If we have to put up with these stupid Avatars then at least give us some game related outfits.

Right. It's a start. But now WE WANT MORE!!!!!
They should do something with Skate 2. That means, when I buy something in the shop of Skate 2, the shirt or the pants should also be available for my avatar.
Outfit Collection is poor at the moment. Especially the shoes and pants!

I was wondering why loads of people had these cartoon styke avatars. It wasn't until a mate told me that there was some download thingy on XBL (Not signed in in a while - at Uni)

yeah, my colored friend is pissed off that they dont have the right shade of black to reflect what he looks like in real life
i mean, does microsoft not know there are charcoal colored people in the world?
and the pants for them are too high, they need to be below the waist,like around the knees
saints row 2 anyone?

They need to come up with game specific clothing or something.
Like if your favroite game is GOW2 or something, allow the characters to wear a GOW2 t-shirt or something like that.

#6 - I Agree.

#8 - I laughed out loud at that suggestions.

I kind of expected more than four pieces of clothing as a winter update though. There are entire stores full of clothes, it can't be that hard to add more.

well it's free but i agree with #2 100%

I think that the avatar is a why of making a statement about who you are in gaming. I think that they can be fun and can look eirily close to what people actually look like. They are trying to diversify the gaming market for the Xbox which will only make it stronger in the long run. Be glad they are doing something!

Free updates are great ... nuff said!

Oh my goodness something for free from Microsoft. That truly is a Christmastime miracle. Even though it's only a few pointless things it's free nevertheless.

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
