Microsoft Conduct Survey For NXE Avatar Changes

Kotaku Writes:

One of the more interesting possibilities include "special avatar gear" that can be earned in a fashion similar to Achievements. Microsoft has hinted at this possibility before, but it's at the top of the list of changes being surveyed. Also noteworthy are Avatars that are auto generated to look like their owners, presumably via the Xbox Live Vision Camera, and a set of "family" Avatars, including kids or pets.

The full list of survey questions regarding Avatar changes looks like this.

nevermind.

I dig the avatar setup, but it was definitely only a matter of time before MS creates its own second life rip off(just like home is a rip off)

People spend $ in virtual worlds. MS likes money. Despite all the "cool" gamers pretending that they cant see a point in virtual items (yet fall over themsevles to buy colored weapons), its an untapped market that second life really pioneered.

Come on guys, its the virtual world we were promised from:

Tron
Johnny Pnemonic
The Matrix
LawnMower Man
Virtuosity
Ghost in the machine..

well maybe not ghost in the machine but you get my point.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
