Look even though I am an Aussie ..I would’nt dream of paying that price for a piece of Avatar Clothing..I will also bet Aussie AFL & NRL Team Jerseys never become a reality.

despite the price…if these jerseys actually had player names and numbers on them, i would consider them as a purchase (cutler, hester, urlacher…)…but, i don’t want a jersey with two zeros on it…

I remember when they said avatar clothes will always be free.I also remember a few years back when Xboxlive went down at Christmas time they said they would reward everyone with some free arcade games. Guess what, Im still waiting.

Really? October 19th (a Monday?) – Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode. I’ll check that when I see it, no biggie, but interesting. Zombie Apocalypse and Bass Pro Shops: The Strike will keep me busy until then.

Actually, they never said ALL clothing would be free. They did say, though, that would attempt to keep it cheap or free if always possible. But now thats M$ for you. As far as the free game from that down time 2 years ago, they did away a free game. I got mine. It was Cascarone.

I have to congratulate dgmn for her take on the avatar marketplace content… I used to love the idea of buying things for my avatar but since it’s been out I have been weary of buying anything which I am not entirely sure I want. The part mentioning the Halo Hoodie and it being customisable should realistically be true for most of the content on the marketplace – it would at least make it worth more paying so much for it. I know it’s not MN’s fault and I doubt anything will be done about it at least for now but 320MSP for a T-Shirt is just ridiculous. Another thing, most adults will not want to buy from the avatar marketplace because they will see no point in wasting money on the clothes, most kids will want to but won’t be able to because they don’t have much money and parent’s more than likely pay for it… so lower the prices and adults and children will both see more of a reason to shell out… easy!

Did Microsoft even bother to do a comparsion with other DLC to see what a fair price for an avatar jersey should be? 320 points is 4 U.S. dollars. Burnout Paradise (which also provided tons of FREE DLC for well over a year following release) charged significantly less than that to purchase custom cars which weren’t just skins, but new vehicles that could be USED in the game. How do you “use” an avatar jersey? Heck you can’t even see it unless you’re on the specific friends screen that shows the full avatar body. There’s no “Microsoft Home” or other social networking program where it would even matter how your avatar looks.

I thought it was bad enough charging 80 or 160 points for themes and backgrounds with game-licensed material on it. If I’m willing to put basically an advertisement of your game up as my wallpaper on my system, that should cost me NOTHING. Especially if I’ve already bought the game. You may make a buck or two off these jersies, but with each step in this direction, you set a worse and worse precedent. This is an industry that has crashed in the past (see 1983), and you can only abuse your consumer base so much before they’ll turn elsewhere.

I reckon that they should actually be free as they could be sponsored by the team and considered as advertising for them and the co. could put the cost into their ad. budget and make gamers around the world happy.

Carcassonne was free (at one time)? Hmmm… I bought it (a friend taught me some basic rules), fun game while it lasted when others played. Then what was Aegis Wing and Undertow for?

Avatars are very much useless and spending a few bucks on them is just a waste of money.
