Bundle Up Your Avatar
Microsoft is releasing their first round of content for their Xbox 360 avatars and it’s a timely one as long as you’re in the northern hemisphere. Gamers will be able to download a few cold weather options for their digital representations. There aren’t that many options; just a jacket, gloves, hat and boots but it’s being made available completely free of charge. You won’t have to search for this either, it’ll simply add itself to your avatar’s wardrobe options the next time you log into Xbox Live.
This rather minor update is to be the first of a ’stream’ of similar free content. After an unknown period of time Microsoft will start charging for the updates. It’s hard to say how much money Microsoft will make with paid content updates for the avatars but a few well-crafted games that utilized the avatars could spark some serious interest.
