So when do we start getting avatar rewards in games?
Cause I'm not paying for any of that overpriced garbage, and it looks like the free section won't be updated anymore.

Yeah the free section wont be updated anymore. The Avatar Rewards were supposed to start with 'Splosion Man but they haven't got around to updating it yet. So really, any game from now that's not too late in development should be able to put Rewards in. It's not a must though so some games may not.
I think the concept will flop. No one will put free Avatar clothing in as unlockable when they can sell it instead. |

I wonder how sales are doing with AM.
I usually have some extra points lying around, so I wouldn't be against buying avatar stuff, but not at the price it is at now. But if stuff isn't selling, they might be forced to drop the price. |

Are you sure you don't want a $5 lightsaber? Can't believe people would buy that.

I want the lightsaber, but $5? I can get my dick sucked for free, so what makes you think I'm gonna pay $5 for a virtual lightsaber?

I was hoping with the release of Madden you could purchase a jersey of your favorite team for your avatar....I would have purchased that. Other than that I really dont see myself spending cash on anything else.

I was thinking something similair would have been down when SvR 2010 comes out. Either let people win items or buy them on the market place. It would be cool to unlock the World Title as an accessory once you 100% the game.

I'll be honest. I'm not enough of a star wars nerd to pay the prices they are asking for a lightsaber or clonetrooper armor. But I am a big enough star wars nerd to buy boba fett armor at that price.

The Avatar Awards are up now. 'Splosion man only has 4 awards total. 2 for males and 2 for females. I've only unlocked the first male and female award (they unlock togethor) which is a white t-shirt with the 'Splosion man logo and orange trim.
To see the other Award, I have to complete multiplayer. The upcoming Halo Waypoint will also have a "stack" of Avatar Awards. Hopefully this is the beggining and we'll get something better than just a t-shirt with a logo in the future. Last edited by Drakul; 11-03-2009 at 01:15 AM. |

Yea Halo Waypoint tracks all your stats on Halo 3 and ODST I believe. I think they will be charging 800 MSP for it though. Not sure.

LIPS and ODST both have Awards.
With 'Splosion Man, those are the only games at the moment with Avatar Awards. |

I meant his default clothes he wears at the start of the game and in most of the promotional material. The brown jacket and stuff.

After owning my XBox 360 for a couple of weeks now, I realize how Microsoft is making so much money. Seriously, I have to BUY modes for NCAA and Madden? I have to buy extras to be able to use Franchise or Dynasty mode fully? WTF

That's Microsoft for you. They'll pinch us for every penny we've got. Hell when the Crash Course dlc game out for Left 4 Dead, Valve gave it away free on the pc, but Microsoft said fuck that and charcged 6 bucks for it on XBL. $6 for a 2 part chapter and 12 achievements? Fuck you MS, seriously fuck you.

What's amazing is they were talking about patching in material for prior games. Either they changed plans due to the pofitability, or never really planned it in the first place.
And LOL @ blaming Microsoft for you having to buy game modes. |

You'll have to use dollars to buy those extra on PS3. Please tell me you understand this. If you want an demo worth try try out Bioshock, Half Life 2, and a whole bunch more. Theres a lot of good demos out there that are worth the time to dl them. I bought all the Hasbro stuff a few weeks back when it was on sale. You'd like it if you had online friends to play with. I have a feeling you won't like it. |

Its not a horribly huge issue as I don't really care to buy every little thing they come out with for the games, but why the hell would anybody spend that kind of money on the avatar things. I saw the ad for the college teams stuff, and it blew my mind. I might splurge to buy some of the XBox Arcade games though.
EDIT: The "free trial" of Family Game Night is the biggest bullshit ever. You get to play the game for like 30 seconds. WTF Last edited by James Steele; 11-04-2009 at 07:29 PM. |

Yes, I understand that both Sony and Microsoft are making money off making people buy shit that should be for free. I have a 360, and not a PS3 so I used Microsoft in my post. I apologize I didn't cover the entire video game market when I posted my mini-rant on the stupidity of having to buy game modes and fucking clothes for an avatar.
