In the latest Edge there is a interview and there's quite abit of new info. Basically these qoutes :

- Eventually thousands of items will be available, from guitars to cloths to skatebords, plus attendant animation routines.

- Avatars can wear clothes decorated with your old gamerpics.

- Gamerpics aren't going away, they're now a badge of you're identity.

- Lacks the face-editing features of Mii's or Home, but makes up for it elsewhere.

- They will each have 102 virtual bones

It doesn't say no face editing:

"-Lacks the features of Miis when it comes to face editing, makes up for it with everything else."

That probably just means it won't be as good.

It must have SOME face editing, otherwise everyone would have the same face, surely?

Yes. Yes it does, it was just a mistake when reading it on my part, now it's edited properly.

Makes sense. Many Mii creators have gotten pretty creative in making M-rated Miis using the face editor.

Still not sure they are needed, but for free, I don't see the harm. I sure as heck won't pay for any clothing or anything though.

It looks stupid, but I'll probably end up spending hours messing around with it, just like I did with Miis :(

I was reading that devolopers are also getting excited and want to give away clothing with unlocked achievements. This whole avatar system is a little too pre-teen to me. But my 9 year old daughter is stoked I feel like we are on Yahoo Messanger.

That's pretty sweet how your gamer pictures can be seen as a design on your shirts. Also if you have the Vision camera you can literally have your face on the t-shirt. So much possibilities, can't wait.
