New Avatar fashions planned every two weeks for six months

by Alexander Sliwinski on Nov 19th 2008 2:00PM

An Avatar ad on the NXE states that new fashions will be added every two weeks and will be noted by a gold star. Xbox Live Product Unit Manager Jerry Johnson confirms that new accessories will be added for at least the next half a year.

According to Johnson, the new fashions will be implemented in packs. We've already noticed that some clothing options have been taken away, like the "wife-beater" (no, it wasn't called that on the NXE). No word yet if these packs will cost anything, but we do know that Microsoft is considering it. What, you don't think the virtual Louis Vuitton bag or Marc Jacobs outfit (not the game designer) will be free, do you?

It's funny how this is like a metaphor for each company.

Nintendo's Mii's focus on the face alone, and give you near limitless options to make it look like a given personality. Microsoft's Mii's, I mean "Avatars", just have one single facial type (obviously based on the vanilla Nintendo Mii face) that can hardly be changed, but the focus is on dressing them up in retarded fashion that you gotta pay for.

I'll let you figure out the rest.

I wouldn't mind paying a buck for a shirt or some shoes. But if i can't see how something will look before i buy it, I wont be buying it!

I'd like to see some licensed merchandise for free. I want a Nike pack or better yet an Armani pack, you know things I could never afford in real life. On a side note could my avatar get some shoulders?
