Am I the only one who finds these new "avatars" / "mii's" looking eerily similar enough to the little lego-man figurines?

The avatars are neat and all, but I just like the party chat.  Now I can hang out with my friends regardless of what game they are playing.

I'm mostly playing left 4 dead and gears of war 2 atm.

You crazy kids, with your XBoxes and your eXperiences... SMILEY

Christmas is gonna be late, but you will get your GTA 4 downloadable content (I thought I'd heard it was already available, but maybe that's only in the US?).

The funny part is Sony UK's head responding that 'nothing is ever exclusive'....which I guess is another way of saying, "Exclusive means 'exclusive to everybody'..."

Anyhow, much as I love Halo on the PC, I cast my lot with Sony.  Which is okay, because I completely suck at thumbstick FPS, and you'd all trample me into little bits.

I wonder how much the extra content will cost...

I suppose you could consider this another tip

If you browse the Live marketplace via your PC and not the Xbox console, there is some different content available that is listed early or maybe shouldn't even be listed at all (like the GoW2 map pack that only new copy purchasers were supposed to get.. of course, it supposedly costs 99,999 MS points so that doesn't really help hehe)

Kotaku story here:

http://kotaku.com/5096635/%5Bupdate...n-xbl-lootathon

Oh, and a spokesman for MS Europe has supposedly confirmed that weekly clothing updates for the Avatars will be free at least for the first few weeks following the NXE's launch.  Of course, the game specific stuff and really special stuff (and maybe even the clothing updates coming down the line) will cost MS points.. in fact, there is already a Ninja Blade theme pack available in Japan that includes Ninja gear for your avatar along with wallpapers, etc. for 250 MS points.  Not bad when you consider all you get, assuming you really like ninjas.

Another Tip, this one squarely aimed at Vinia

Pink (and other less realisticly coloured) hair:

It was discovered — as far as we know, by reader Samuel who told us that if you rotate the right analog stick for about a minute or so, you'll unlock a suite of new garish hair colors.

Actually, Samuel, I think you don't need to do anything but let the My Features screen idle for a bit. After the Hairstyles menu item rotates, you'll have the new colors.
