Premium Avatars Coming Today

@Antony – oh it is, but let it be noted that just because it releases thursday, doesn't mean you can play it thursday.  The MAG open beta will be playable January 4th.  They seem to have realized that its an enormous download, so are allowing it to be downloaded early.

These things are scams.. i figured out how sony does this now.

I had no money in my wallet, so i went to buy these one of these very cheap avatars. I look at the receipt to make sure im not buying anything else, and the damn store was going to add 5$ to my account!! The minimum amount you can put on your ps3 is 5$, so they pretty much make you pay all this extra money, and make you buy something else.. Basterds!! 

I just saw the Avatars in the PS store and they are not so good they could put them to hold a platinum when you get a platinum or something like that

i personnally think they should allow you to convert your trophy images you earn into avatars…it’d make em mean more…..

or unlock avatars when you buy games..

So when are these coming out in the US?

They ve been out for the past week or so , there should be a new Avatar Tab in the store , or if that doesnt work out its under the LBP section.

Any one whose familiar with home will know all about micro transactions as there called… And it was only a matter of time before this pointless urge to buy stupid, crappy polygons spilt over onto the PSN store… Now this might be an old topic but I've just started posting lately, and there are just some things you have to moan about, eh?

Let's start with dynamic themes – WOW, the screen moves… How long does anyone really spend on there XMB? I switch the beast on and play a game, browse the Internet, watch some films or listen to some music… Non of those things involve me watching the XMB, there cool the first time you see them or when you show a friend but the free wipe-out one did my head in after about 5 min… 

Download some music videos, play them and push the PS button on your controller – Hey presto, a free “dynamic theme” you actually like!!

And the premium wallpapers, hello… You can download free HD wallpapers online, jeez…

Who the hell cares about an avatar?? Really?? I only care about how many trophy's' you got…

 Non of these things add to the Ps3 experience… Where the hell's the music playback when playing games? Where's the cross game chat? When we getting a new batch of visualisations for the music playback? The schnide box is amazing for visualisations, I've seen all those pictures of earth so many times i could prob draw them all…

C'mon SONY, start giving us the things that'll make the Ps3 a stronger machine… I think the BBC i-players sweet… We need more of that and less of the – Selling stupid crap to us that we don't want or need… Are they trying to blind us with these weak offerings, so we forget about the important things we want?
