360's new update Aug 11th 09 Boycott

Please tell me I'm not the only one who feels like MS is trying to pry every nickle out of our hands? What the hell is with the Avatar Market Place,its about as usfull as a bullet to the back of the skull.Actuly a bullet would be more usful at least I wont have to pay for anything anymore. With the onset of the RROD one would think they would put there money into fixing that problem not paying people to design clothes and props for the most useless thing to be created by MS next to Vista. You know the Wii has a avatar and it sucked but at least they didnt tack it on and then tack on a marketplace to make spend cash on fake clothes for your fake little person in a world you can't even walk them around in. People complain about the Home space on the PS3 at least they have the right idea, first of all you aren't forced to have some crappy thing hanging out on your screen on top of that with Home at least you can walk around and meet other people if you do want.There Avatar surves a purpose at least. MS needs to stop tacking on extra expendatures on us. The udates that MS comes out with are so stupid. Help me help us help the gaming community and Boycott this trash they are trying to make us pay for.

Its not that great,but you dont have to buy it. I have a PS3 and Home is really stupid, so that is not a great example. Of course MS is trying to get every penny out of us, so is Nintendo, and Sony. They dont care about you or me at all.

The whole system really is not that bad of an idea. They are just new and will eventually lower the prices.

I spent 800 point's on avatar clothes today, I think they are pretty cool like the Gear's, halo,Stormtrooperoutfit's, the lightsaber's and RC warthog are great aswell, I want my avatar looking as awesome as possible for when Joy Ride is out.

I want everyone to buy the pom poms, OMFG they are so ridiculous its awesome lolDylan_11

This is Microsoft we're talking about. Microsoft and EA will nickel and dime consumers until people quit paying for this crap.

I take it your a female? just asking because I can see the avatar dress up being popular with young kids and females.

i clicked on this post with cynical thoughts that it would be about someone whining about something he doesnt like...and i was right :(

Dude if you dont like it just dont use the features. I personally think some of them are just daft and as such I dont intend to use them and i dont intend on telling everyone about it lol

The same goes for money milking, in this instance they can only milk as much money as you give them,,,so the point stands, just dont buy anything

HAHAHAHA, internet boycott, hahahahahahaha. Enough said.
