Anyone else agree that the PlayStation Network should be expanded with avatars from games like Metal Gear Solid 4 and Grand Theft Auto IV, to name a few? The lack of options is a pain, not being able to upload personal avatars I can live with, but not having avatars of the most successful games on the console so far, that's just strange... Edit - 8 months later, there still has not been any additions to our selection!

I dont think they should allow people to upload their own images, we'll just end up seeing a bunch of dirty pornographic images as their avatars, just like the comments, I have read the nastiest things on their.

Then they'd have to constantly search accounts for offensive ones, and we all know there would be plenty.

That is most likely the reason Sony hasn't made it possible to upload custom avatars from day 1, it would be too much hassle to keep every PSN id monitored. So, just making the selection a lot more varied would be fine by me... ;)

Haha you're right, I guess that would be more fun. Maybe you can offer to work for Sony as a PSN scanner and report anyone with an avatar more profane than yours? :P

I would like it if they added a whole lot more of them, but I don't think they should let people upload their own. I like being limited to a list of avatars because it keeps everything game or PlayStation related which is kinda cool. They should just expand on what they have.

I totally agree, the PSN avatars should be PlayStation and/or game-related. That is why it would be great if the PSN would update with new avatars when new games are released.

They should have a special website where PS3 users can make avatars and upload them just like PS3 themes. Instead of a theme creator, an avatar creator!

I think we should have 4 options (when Home comes out): a pre-set avatar that Sony made themselves, a custom avatar that we upload ourselves (99% sure this won't happen), your SackBoy/SackGirl from LBP of your choice, or your Home avatar.

They should let people upload their own. I thought that was obvious since 90% of every website and other things let you upload your own custom avatar. Maybe in a new firmware (hoping that it will allow that in the next firmware update). :)

Yeah, there isn't a lot to choose from, and considering at least half of what is there sucks, one's options are extremely limited.

It's time for some new avatars, and it's especially time for Sony to allow us to upload our own.

Exactly, it should be a no-brainer for a corporation like Sony to expand the available selection of (good) avatars with at least 100 more. Anyway, with a 100 votes in, it's safe to say that pretty much everyone agrees that more avatars are needed. Let's hope Sony does something about it. ;)

They would still have to pay someone to monitor that, and if they way the montior the racism the goes on XBL & PSN it would be a disaster. You can at least mute them, you can't do anything about the guy with the Kim Kardashian Avatar if Sony doesn't catch it.

Wouldn't a Home avatar just be your dude's face? Who'd want that? I understand what you mean about custom avatars, but I think it would be a lot better if every PS3 game that came out, or at least every popular one, added a few icons to the list. The Sackboy idea is also pretty good but I imagine people will be changing those fairly often so that might not be feasible.

Yep you are right. But to be honest, who really cares. Do you look at it that much, does it affect anything, no. So in the end of the day it doesnt really affect me.
