You mean hate due to the leaning hips of the avatars or the hate due to overpriced (and useless) virtual crap.

@philmcfail why do the hips lean on both male and female avatars ?
Why do they all look so incredibly camp ? Its one of the funniest things about these 360 avatars..
Do these same people that buy costumes for their 360 avatars jump onto cod and other games and call everyone else gay f** etc ?..
Question for the 360 fanboys reading this, do you regularly throw racial / homophobic slurs out in games like COD and do you happen to like dressing up your very camp avatar ?
That is all I need to say .. :D

@McDuckScrooged I enjoy dressing up my avatar. I don't even use a headset on my 360. If I did, no, I wouldn't be throwing around homophobic and racial slurs.

@McDuckScrooged I never use racial slurs or call people f"gs when playing. I keep is civil and just play to have fun. Being a douche bag isn't a prerequisite for owning a 360.

You're trying to compare the price of a food product, to that of virtual goods. That's ridiculous.
A better comparison would be sowing that you could get an entire xbox live arcade game for $10, while for the same price you can get two in a half pretend clothes.
Besides that, just because something is more expensive, does not mean both items may be overpriced.
If some people don't mind paying $4 for this, that's fine, but I do think they could make more money by pricing it lower and appealing to a wider consumer base.

@Nintari Don't forget people who pay real money for previously worn/pre-torn clothes.

I believe the P.A. guys were the best to describe it as tipping the developers... or something? So yeah if I enjoyed the game and I see something I like, I might get it, I mean there's worse things to waste money on.
But then again, there is that thing about the people who buy every little damn thing someone makes and it's a little sad. Then again, thanks for stimulating the economy? Or rather, yeah we don't trust you with money anyway, thanks for spending it on this and not... firecrackers... or something.
But anyway, best idea was the awards from the various games, instead of having to pay for them. It does keep the moneygrubbing phallicshaped head thing status away from them... damn, I think I'm losing my grasp of the english language...

Damn. Well played.
But let's face it, you wouldn't be here if you didn't like going on fake adventures just like the rest of us.

On second thought, Dan and Ken are probably just recolors of Ryu's (I hope they're just not shown). They would have to be insane and/or seriously lazy to not to include them.

Avatars are probably my favorite thing in the NXE after achievements, they tipped the scale in me deciding which system to get multiplatform games for.
I would really like a pink Dan gi though...
