I still want a coffee cup. Why can’t they make an avatar hold a coffee cup, for crying out loud! I’d take a Mass Effect coffee cup!

Anyone else notice that we haven’t gotten any free avatar stuff since the marketplace went live.

I’m sure there’s some more free stuff on the way sometime in the near future and some more coloring options. I would like to change the camo clothes to urban coloration. How’s that?

What I want to know is; WHERE ARE THE AVATAR UNLOCKABLES?

LikeLike

I agree, I want to see Avatar Unlockables for game accomplishments. I’m also a bit miffed that ever sense the Avatar Marketplace was released, the release of free clothing has pretty much come to a halt.

Thank you for the info Major.

Do you know if the ODST Avatar armor shown at E3 2009 will be an unlockable, or will it be sold in the Avatar Marketplace in the near future?

If Microsoft can’t release free content (like the new Left 4 Dead DLC) then I really doubt they will ever release anymore free avatar clothing.

The prices still need to be reduced by half. $4 for a Crappy Warthog and a lightsaber? I would buy these things, but they are too much!

I demand Microsoft to raise the prices on these avatar items. I want the people who buy them to spend as much as possible.

I, for one, am glad to see a second set of releases for ANY of the Avatar stuff…I was very disappointed that with the ODST release, there was nothing added, and I feel they missed a very big opportunity. As a M.E. fan, the new stuff is pretty cool, but having new content available when, say, 2.2 million people pick up a game, seems like a better model than randomly dropping stuff on the marketplace. Oh, and I am so glad I dodged Bubble Bobble…you “delay” the game for months, then a week after release, have TWO sets of DLC for 240pts each? No thanks. Those levels should have been included in the game at 800. 1280 to play a 20 year old game is ridiculous.

Oh, and regarding “free” Avatar stuff…it looks like probably won’t be any more free stuff in the marketplace (like a free set), but they are doing “themed” stuff for free, so while some games/ events are getting clothes (PAX, Beatles), I fully expect there to be some free stuff for certain holidays and other notable dates (Bungie Day). I still want my Dallas Cowboys helmet!!

I’d guess you won’t really see much in the way of Avatar Awards until early next year. You have to remember that the developers need to build this into their games & the update probably came too late in the year for most of the fall games to do so.

After all the alleged hate towards avatars, they’ve become quite common as gamerpics. After all the alleged hate towards avatar accessories, they’ve become quite common as gamerpic accessories. Naysayers are free to pack their packs and call it quits but when it comes to customizing your virtual personality to your liking, micro-transactions is the answer. Lovely Mass Effect apparel, though.

Still waiting on my avatar unlockable. I can’t believe this isn’t out yet. Wait its M$ of coarse i believe now. They milk the money out of us then give out the free stuff. Seriously Mass effect becore the unlockable? The person who’s doing that marketing needs to be fired.

@Mcmax3000,

I don’t think it’s just the devs… look at your gamerpic. The ability to unlock has been in ‘Splosion Man all along, but they’re being delayed and not allowed to actually “flip the switch.”

If only Microsoft did the same thing with Premium Themes. We can preview avatar clothing and items ourselves, but there is no way to see what the themes look like before purchase. Why is that?

Microsoft do not care if you can’t preview a theme – they have not cared about it for 3.5years since the console launched.

Goto the following website to preview theme’s: http://www.themexbox.com/index.php
