    Will the pet show up in 1 vs 100, and if so, will it be visibly aggravated by the large crowds?

    I want a ferret pet for my avatar, mostly so it could pounce on my Waypoint Monitor and ride it around like a horse before hiding the overgrown lightbulb behind a couch. But alas, no ferret yet.

    I'd also settle for my own personal moogle to flutter around behind my avatar, carrying a bucket of water for no good reason.

    So after I spend 240 points on a pet...how long until they offer me a rhinestone collar for my dog for an additional 80 points?

    Also, do these pets function like just any other prop? Because I'm going to feel REALLY guilty watching my pet gets wiped from existance by a snap of my avatar's fingers.

    I don't know what it is about the Avatars but each time I see one they make me want an Xbox 360.

    I wish the PS3 allowed for something like these guys or the Mii's. All we have to 'define' ourselves outside of Home are a few dozen really lame static pictures. I don't even think you can buy more of these pictures.

    @fmadmonk: Well, there are going to be two other cats, but I'm not hopeful given how ugly that siamese looks. I've nothing against siamese cats. It's just a terrible looking model, at least going from that photo. All of the pets have a funny look about them, but I suppose they have to match the style of the avatars.

    @TriplEEE13: Yeah, I'm disappointed in how they came out with everything but the armor. Not even a BoS shirt. I was seriously expecting an avatar award update for the game at least. And you know they could've easily done it. Then again, Halo has shotgun on all that stuff.

    Another thing I don't get is how Saren's armor is available but not a mask of his face or something. I previewed the armor, it didn't look right. At all.
