Along with Clone Trooper armour, and Obi-wans armour from the Clone Wars TV show. It is pretty cool, but personally I'd rather wait to see if that new Republic Heroes game gives us any avatar awards, rather than jumping in and buying these.
Then again, if they're making so much money from this, I doubt they'll do that.
" Paying money for virtual clothing... I'm speechless. "
Yuh its pretty sad imo too "
Seriously, this is just consumerism at it's peak. They're not even material goods, they're virtual! I can't believe some people need these things to feel happy/satisfied.
" I can imagine spending money on virtual clothes if they did something. Besides the friends list on the dashboard, which is so slow to load it's not worth using, where else are you going to see that crap? "
The update fixed the speed problems with the dashboard. You see the avatars while in parties, especially if you're watching Netflix or Sky, and you can also see them in several XBLA games and all of the dashboard games, like 1vs100, Joyride, the leaked Golf game and whatever else they add in the future.. We've also seen more retail games take advantage of them recently, like Grid 2 having them as bobbleheads on your cars dashboard.
I agree that there's not much use for them right now, but that's definitely changing.
