Xbox Avatars get free festive elements

With the recent release (or probably, crash) of Home for PlayStation 3, Microsoft has decided to flex muscles showing the possibilities of the NXE in form of new free clothes, a Xmas greeting tool and Snow Globes where your alter-ego can meet your friends.

While PS3 users have to pay prices between 0.49$ and 0.99$ for a whole plethora of clothes and pieces of furniture for their personal creations, Microsoft has confirmed that (for the time being?) they don't intend to earn any cash with the Xbox Live Avatars.

According to media outlets Santa is outselling Satan and Satan is a sinking ship.

that little $50 live subscription renewal at the end of the year. LOL Microsoft the biggest bunch of hypocrites, just like 360 owners.

lance5609d ago

it was over when ps3 attempted foolishly to against live. go back to home dude,emptiness awaits.

Mitch_Cumstein5609d ago

Despite what Sony fanboys said for months prior to launch of the Home beta(excuse to be bad), Home is not an Xbox Live killer. It is not an innovative feature that pushes online gaming into new dimensions.

Home is a place for men to pretend they are women. A place for those usually socially inept like Mr. Drake here, to go and strut their stuff in front of these tranny avatars so they can feel better about themselves.

I think I saw you in Home.. the chick with pink shirt talking trash to kids while queing 30minutes for arcade games? She said she pwns everyone in dancing.

Anyhow, to this article.. why do they need to mention PS3 home crash when talking about free clothes for 360 Avatars? We do know it's unstable for now.

i wish looked like this...i dislike 360 but this looks awesome.

darthv724959d ago

I kind of liked the semi isometric appearance of the various screens. It gave the sense of depth where as this is more flat. I can assume it is that way for the ability to use hand motion to control the NXE.

-Alpha4959d ago

At first I liked it but then I remembered that with the 3-D view you could actually see more content on screen in a better way.|

I like the simplicity of the presentation though, it looks slick. Just wish it was still 3-Dish

He might mean..

I wish PS3 looked like this; I dislike Xbox.
But this looks awesome.

gcolley4959d ago

i think he meant "i wish i looked like this"

Playstation Home Avatars Still Own NXE Avatars

KratosGirI4959d ago

He's butthurt over some virtual characters. That is sad.

-Alpha4959d ago

Too bad you can't use Home avatars as your own avatar, that would have been nice.

darthv724959d ago

there isnt much use of them outside of home. At least with the 360 ones they are being used in various games from retail to indie.

andron4959d ago

Those blip sounds are awfully annoying. Can't understand why people don't turn them off...

Simco8764959d ago

The ESPN thing is cool, (IMO) thats about it

Loot Ninja Impressions: Xbox Live Update

Loot Ninja writes: "Networking communities these days harp on and on about the closeness of their members. There are so many out there on the internet that it's hard to distinguish which ones are which? Well, I guess that's only true if you were to ask anyone over the age of 40. It doesn't matter whether the community is your lame ass company putt-putt tournament featured on ESPN 4, or online friend communities like Myspace and Facebook, they all try to bring people closer together (and even some people you don't want to). Yep, I'm talking about Herbie "Pervy" in Accounts Recieveable."
