Okay, maybe this whole avatar thing is a little cooler than I personally expected — after all, my Mii looks nothing like me, and at least my 360 avatar kind of does. I did anticipate that the avatars would be an excuse for Microsoft to create a massive virtual wardrobe and charge gamers through the ass for it, so seeing that the first new additions are free was certainly a breath of fresh air.

Male avatars can look forward to a brown snowboarding jacket and a brown beanie with flames, along with blue and white gloves and a black pair of snow boots. Females can choose from a blue ski jacket, white snow boots, pink and white gloves and a red beanie. Sure, it’s no runway fashions or anything, but it is free. I wonder what we have the ability to expect to see next?
