Microsoft To Launch Avatar Store For All Your Avatar Needs
Robin Burrowes, a product manager for Xbox LIVE tells us that an Avatar store will launch.
“The plan of record will be to launch a more extensive Avatar Store from spring time onwards next year, and that store in theory would have branded content in there, game publisher IP stuff in there as well.”
When he was asked what kinds of items will be sold in the Avatar store, she responded:
“There’s a whole creative canvas for these things. Due to tight time lines there’s nothing at launch as such but our vision for these in the future is well and truly tied to game releases and us working with publishers very closely to encourage rewards from those games to be tied to your Avatar.”
It’d always be nice to get Avatar love from your achievements. Who in their right mind would WANT to pay anyway. No doubt that most people would pay though.
