quote ChiroVette
I have seen "Mii" throughout this thread and I have no idea what it is.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mii

quote
A Mii (pronounced /ˈmiː/ me) is a digital avatar created by Nintendo for the Wii's Mii Channel. After creating them, they can be used as participating characters in certain Mii-oriented games, as first shown in Wii Sports and Wii Play. Miis are customizable and allow the user to capture a likeness or caricature, or capture the personality of themselves and others.

There are Supers on the site you can complain to...
No thanks, I'm good. I'll use the forums as they're intended.

I wonder if you can turn avatars off?

If that's how they're gonna look then I'd rather keep my Gamerpic. I'd rather have that than some ridiculous looking child-like figure.

The previous page has what they really look like, those were Miis anyway.

Doesn't look that bad to me..

Eh, I guess I can deal with them. If you can dress them up anyway you like (cosplay, you know) then I'm down.

I wouldn't be surprised to see future games offer unlockable outfits/armor/accessories for completing achievements.

re: Xbox Live Update: Avatar System

I'm almost 100% there's gonna be Spartan Armor from Halo for your Avatar.

And while I love the new dashboard (and the fact the old one is still there), I'm not too fond of the avatars. I hope to god that I can replace the atrocious things with my kickass Counter-Strike-ish Gamerpic. Although I'm pretty sure you get to have both your gamerpic and an Avatar. Because if you ended up spending money on the gamerpics, and Microsoft just takes them away without giving you a refund, prepare for some lawsuits. Bwahahahaha!

Although I suppose the 8 player private chat makes up for the stupid Avatar things.

re: Xbox Live Update: Avatar System

re: Xbox Live Update: Avatar System

I think that you'll probably be able to have them side by side in your gamercard, so they're both visible to any viewers.

I have to agree with you there. I think the new dashboard looks great but don't like the idea of avatars that are similar to "mii"s.
Im happy with my gears of war gamerpic i dont want some stupid childish looking avatar.

quote Darknet
At E3, it was just announced about a new system involving avatars for this Fall in XBL. A lot like Miis, you can make your own person who will represent you and who you are. I'll try and post new info on this when it comes out on the net.

What do you all think so far?

Edit: Avatars More info

Is this going to be for Gold Live Membership members or will it be for every xbox owner?

That would be interesting. If there isn't something else, these avatars are going to be basically useless.
