Avatars receive questionable 'rave' fashion options

by Alexander Sliwinski on Dec 31st 2008 8:40AM

Get ready for your Xbox Avatar to rock the latest fashion trends when you dress it in ... "Day-glo Zebra Print Pumps?!" Major Nelson posts that the new Avatar clothing options are free, which we guess is good. But it means we might actually see our Xbox friends wearing them -- that's bad. Check out this list:

For the boys:

Pixel Art Hoodie
Rave Baseball Cap
Dark Purple Jeans
Green Skinny Fit Jeans
Pink Sweat Bands

For the girls:

Green Chunky Ring
Red Chunky Ring
Yellow Fingerless Gloves
Blue Fingerless Gloves
Chunky Beaded Bracelet
Day-glo Zebra Print Pumps
Rave Baseball Cap

We can't decide if the choices are '80s or '90s rave clothing. We'd ask someone on staff who attended a rave, but if they remember it, we'll know they did it wrong.

woo hoo! more stuff to make my avatar look retarded.

When will they come out with the stuff that I really want, like the option to turn my entire avatar into a skeleton.

I'll settle for an option to let my Avatar stop standing like a lady.

I'm happy with the addition of a real Hoodie.

The avatars like pretty colors and like to kiss all the boys.

@DemonGSides:

That's nice. *cough*chav*cough*

:)

If you wanted to make your avatar look like Perez Hilton, wait no more!

Man, these would be perfect for Quincy'ing!

hehe, awful clothes, but at least no one is having to pay for em.

Sweeeeeeeeet

now we can all take some ECSTASY and trip out while watching our avatars on screen in some trippy colors!!!

one can only hope this happens in Home as well......then we can make our avatars spin around in said Rave colors and even make a HUGE fucking cirlce of people all in Rave gear to do the pop lock dance and we can just go crazy from looking at all the fucking colors!!!!!

FUCKING SWEEEEEEEEEEEET!!!

how tha fuck I spell Circle wrong!?!?!tripping out on the colours........

And then you had to go and misspell "colors" too! ;)

aye if you know old English its TECHNICALLY not misspelled.........lol

"Skinny jeans" on guys? Not at any party I ever went to in the '90s. If you couldn't fit a 2 liter in the back pocket of your jeans, they weren't worth wearing!

I know, I just donated my Jncos to good will!!!

*sniff* :*(

It's the end of an era.

Dont need no skin tights in my wardrobe today
Fold them all up and put them all away...

Nice 'Mondays reference, XLM - you talk so hip, you're twisting my melon, man!

More options is always good. Especially when it's free.

Thats how it works man. They butter you up with some shitty free items and then before you know it BAM you will be forced to pay for all the cool tuff like big daddy suits, master chief armor, zombie gear, gears armor, horse armor and whatever other franchise they want to milk. I agree with you that more options are generally good especially when free but after I saw these online I can safely say that these should have never been released in the first place. It looked more like emo drag queen duds than it did raver clothes. If it's about the rave where are the glow sticks, scooby doo shirts, body piercings and tie dye shirts?

Put it this way it better be free because if they tried charging for it there would be a huge spectacle to follow.

I'm stuck at work, can anyone point me in the direction of some photos of these gloriously bad outfits? thanks.

Believe me, NOT seeing them is a good thing!

Here is my avatar I dressed him up with the new clothing. It's titled "carny from 1991"

I still haven't made my avatar (you know, because it's a manly thing to do) and it asks me every time I turn my 360. KInda of annoying.

*complains about easy to fix solution*
*doesnt fix*

Skinny jeans... sweat bands... fingerless gloves...

You got '80s on my 360. God, I hate the '80s.

Whoah! The Major Nelson post reads:
"As always, all clothing choices are free..."

Free is free.

It still sucks!

Were you seriously spending New Years Eve making sloppy troll posts on Joystiq? Awesome! I wish I could add users to a watch list...

Pass the vicks vapor rub son.

missing the kandi and binky too

This whole Xbox avatar shit is lame as hell. They should have an option to not have an avatar at all.

oh my god joystiq can predict the future:

about this new clothing though... i dont hate the pixel art hoodie, though it could have been a better selection. give them a break though, avatar clothing designers are on chirstmas break too you know.

these things are like, 10 years way too late.

unless you want them to be ironic, in which case, you should be shot.

I would have enjoyed a Che/revoltuionary option.

Get with the times, grampa - this look is back. Check any Kanye, Hollertronix, Cool Kids, or Spankrock event. M.I.A. is probably using that JPEG for her next video!

Yay, more lame clothes. Next thing you know there will be avatars on "What Not To Wear".
