[quote name='seanr1221']The avatar marketplace is the worst idea MS has ever had.[/QUOTE]
I'm sure tards will buy that shit up like they do on Home...if you look at as a part of game development, i.e. some guy designs one coat, which was probably ready for market within a week or less, then MS sells it for $2, and 50,000 people buy it--that's a nice revenue and probably a nice profit for basically no work. then multiply that by all the items on the marketplace. That'll buy some ivory back scratchers for J.Allard.
but this virtual personality space stuff is really, really, really cheesy. Then again, I don't really play online anymore or talk with internet friends through XBL, aside from the occasional fighting game match with chac. so maybe I'm missing something that teens and kids really dig.
