    Think you've hit the nail on the head Steven. The service, if true, is likely to be more feature-packed than Wii's Miis. But, I can't see MS doing anything other than charging silly amounts for accessories and so forth.

    If the avatars are free, cool, if not then I'm not spending money on something like this.... They should do like the gamer pics and themes where the basic ones are free and the "premium" ones cost a little if you want them. That way, everyone is involved and they'll still make $$ off of those who want the special sauce.

    Thinking about it more, I reckon you're right, there may be basic level free avatars with limited customisation and costumes and then charges if you want to make yours look funkier.

    I like that idea of too, but it has to have a free basic level. No way will i be paying to make an avatar better, ive got better things to throw money at...

    I also thought that it would be cool to get ltd edition outfits (for free) by doing something in the game, id imagine it would have to be 1000/1000ing it and then get an outfit. Such as getting a master chief outfit for getting all the achievements.

    Then again if they go along with something like that id imagine that it would only unlock it where it is then available to buy from the marketplace :/
