Seconded. Maybe even a full Bluth family chicken dance pack.

Aww crap

As much as I loathe for-pay Avatar items, it's amazing what an easy revenue stream it is for Microsoft. The money and effort involved in developing them is almost certainly minor, and for some reason a ton of people buy them. :shrug:

I have not see any clothing I would buy yet, but I would certainly buy a pet.
Especially the Pug.

If we don't buy the pets, will they be euthanized?

They have a whole department that has a bunch of work to just do avatar stuff. In a recent Major Nelson podcast they interviewed someone from there who gave insight into the development of avatar props/clothing. It was actually pretty interesting and kind of surprised me with the amount of work they put into the thing.

For anyone who hasn't scored points yet, they're still handing them out but it seems to be only 100 points per win.

And when you're done, remember to to text "STOP" back to the number so they don't send anything in the future.

must've texted 20 times and nothing. :-(

I'm on a 200 txt/month plan so I should stop.

They're neat and thy each have their own unique cuteness action. Most notably the pug, goldfish, monkey, and Siamese cat.

Looks like I'm about to have my second RROD. Are they still repairing these for free for out of warranty consoles? I think I heard they don't send the coffins out anymore.

^^ That's a tad misleading. You have to buy some shit "accessory bag", a full price game of your choice of two (both of which have been on sale for $20 less recently) and then another game from a pile of steaming shit. Oh, and a controller charge kit -- some third party off brand shit.

Anyone have a spare 100 point code for me? I only need another 100 points and I can buy BF:1943.

Some idiots on the comments section think he purposefully caused it to red ring to 'prove a point'. Why the fuck would someone buy a $400 console just to break it???

Well it will get fixed for free so if he has another laying around he's good to go -- a colossal dick but good to go.

Are you new to the internet or the concept of ridiculous fanboyism?

If you go on his comments, the guy claims to own all three systems. So i dont think he's a fanboy. Just that people accusing him of breaking the console. Then again he could be lying about that to make him look good.

Well we know he owns a 360. 1/3

assuming he's a fanboy of one of the other systems, that's an automatic 2/3

isn't a big leap of imagination to think he might own the third either to compliment his preference or to similarly sabotage 3/3

so, I don't see how his comments support or refute my accusation. But I'm a fanboy of unnecessary arguments. I own all three kinds.
