    Would you spend the cash monies? Sadly, I think I would! I'm loving NXE and the whole avatar system is really cool. Imagine...

    He's cool, but we could really mix things up a bit!

    ^^That guy with a Sub-Zero ninja costume, I could even see him in a COG suit. I wouldn't pay for individual features, but I would definitely pay for costume/accessory package-deals should they become available.

    What about you GBombers, would you?

    I bet clothes will be like themes for games. I would happily pay once or twice for a costume I really want.

    Probably not. Mostly for the same reason I don't feel like paying money for a picture pack or a theme.

    I'll definitely download a free Dr.Pepper clothing pack though. Nice replacement for my previous icon.

    It would have to be really cool for me to pay for it, not like a different colour shirt or anything, but a ninja costume or pirate outfit or something like that I'd consider. Although it'd have to be cheap too. I think 60 MS points would be fair for a complete outfit. Although I can see them charging 200 points for it, which is a complete rip off and I wouldn't pay that much.

    I refuse to pay for microtransactions for a feature I never have any intention of using until they bother to actually fix it and make it worth the money.

    The way I see it, is that buying costume packs is no different than paying for gamer pics and themes.

    I'd pay as long as I got a full preview beforehand. The amount of times I paid for a picture pack or some themes and felt incredibly short changed was far too many. And I only bought like 3.

    I wouldn't count on a preview feature, but that would be really useful if it was implemented.

    I will not pay for generic stuff.  Maybe if MS did something cool, like allowing an achievement pic to be meshed onto a shirt for a tiny fee.  I'd also be happier if you saw your friends' premium theme behind their respective avatar instead of your own theme.  Yours will still show up on all other pages, of course.

    EDIT: I like the costume idea.  Good call.  Gears is perfect because you face isn't hidden anyways.  OOOH!  imagine if your avatar had a costume on depending on which game your playing, instead of that lame box cover art next to you.

    I bet there will be a preview feature--that was one of the more oft-used complaints regarding Microsoft's gamerpic and theme design; gamers couldn't see what they were buying before dropping the x-hundred Microsoft points.

    With the NXE, you can preview themes before committing to them, so I'm sure they'll stay consistent and allow previews to stick around for avatars--arguably the most pervasive new feature of the bunch.

    You can make custom gamerpics and themes if you want. You can't make custom clothing. The ability to change the color of the shirts or pants or shoes, or accessories even, would make the system so much more diverse that it's ludicrous not to include the option. They specifically designed it to create the want for payed content. Have you noticed or heard that women have a much larger selection than men do? That's because the base amount of adornments a woman would want to start out with is much higher than you or I might want if we were typical dudes just making an avatar for the hell of it. They've very cleverly created a system that gives the illusion of satisfaction to those who they don't want the money of anyway, while also making people who they know will probably succumb to paying want more selection and personality.

    It's genius and it's disturbing, and I want no hand in propelling it.

    I won't be buying anything at all...I have no interest in buying "outfits" for my avatar, not to mention that I'm pretty much happy with the way he looks right now.

    Never - unless they came out with Kampfzeit uniform for my HItler avatar, then I'd pay $2 for that.

    There are certain things that I would buy, yes. and some things I wouldn't. If I deem a certain accessory worthy of purchase, and depending on price. I will buy it.

    Like I would totally buy a couple of awesome suits.

    Only if it came with a substancial amount of stuff. For instance, I wouldn't pay for just a suit of MJOLNIR armor, but I would pay if it came with a lot armor variants and accessories. If they released a clothing package, it would have to come with more than five items. I'd want a pretty large collection to pay more than 50 MP.

    Maybe, it depends on the price, what i get for my money and if i can choose what I do and dont want out of a package for an adjustment in price.

    I.E. If a package has 3 hats and 2 shirts i should be able ot get the 2 shirts and 1 hat i want for a price cheaper than the original price.

    If not that then they should just bundle it for free with other Downloadable content. like if i download a new map pack for gears i should get some gears style clothing, etc...etc.
