If Microsoft keeps heading in that direction and making live content like that, then avatars will have more of a purpose. As it stands now, you've got a few arcade games like Kingdom of Keflings, a few retail games like Guitar Hero 5, and...that's about it. #xboxlive

1) Allow clothing color changes. Seriously.
2) Start putting some amount of pressure on devs to include Avatar rewards. #xboxlive

And yet all people can do is run on here about how you have to be a billionaire to play PC games.

They also forget that today's 360 games can have their graphics replicated on a PC through cheaper hardware, but more expensive hardware will deliver higher-end graphics.
There's no pleasing the console gamer, or the PC gamer for that matter, so just stick with me. Be a gamer. Don't tuck yourself into a lame corner. :)

Probably a dumb question, but I've never paid much attention to deals on Steam and their deadlines, wouldn't be the first time I missed out on something due to the wording though.
I get paid Friday, so it'd be nice to snag this for cheap.

@Cpryd001: I was thinking about getting the 4-pack if the money comes in before the sale is over. Don't have anyone to give them to really, but for the price a few extra copies could come in handy later on.

Or, if I'm feeling nice I could give a few out to random folks who want the game. Random giveaways are always fun!

"Zombie, Francis. He. Was. A. Zombie."
Best part. The rest felt no different and really didn't add much in the way of things that feel new or interesting, but more L4D for free is always nice. I wouldn't buy it for 360, it's really no different than a decent custom map.

I truly hope and pray that nobody pays for these items ever, and MS is shamed into making them free. Unfortunately, all it takes is a handful of people to spend $1.00 to make this profitable.
Let's face it, most of them are just t-shirt skins, they really don't look super fancy to me. Even if they did- I already think COD map packs are a rip-off, that is the extent of my Live purchasing.
This is why I am against Facebook and twitter infecting the game console by the way- it breeds extraneous junk.

Even if it is just a few bucks. I could spend that same money on real clothes at Walmart. (not that I would, by the way)
By far, this is the most useless paid content. You pay for it, but no where to show it off. And then you forget about it.
MS should be using this as a way to promote its games, or its partners to promote their products. Like as rewards for getting achievements, or pre order bonuses, or whatever.
And I wish it went beyond these cute looking human avatars. Wheres my space aliens? Wheres my monsters? Wheres my Spartan armor? Wheres my cute animu characters?
For something thats supposed to be a representation of you, its so limited.
