DISCUSSION
$2 for a Cotton Swab? WTF? As mentioned by others, and in the previous thread on this subject, these Avatar items should be unlocked by playing games.
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.
