Mike Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 More shit to load at a snails pace. You see the prices for the avatar stuff?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Nope, it is at least 800 points though, it has to be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Saw a shirt going for 160 in the screen shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I think for the shit like clothes for the avatars you could get some from the games you complete. For example you complete Call of Duty, every achievement and it unlocks a full soldiers outfit for that game period, rifle the lot. Same goes for GAW, get all the achievements and you get the GOW armour to wear. Would make finishing off the games perfectly an even bigger achievement.

Decky Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sounds like a great idea TT. I reckon they should give prizes for achievement points, like say a MS point for every achievement point, or say 500 MS points for the hard achievements. Even things like backgrounds etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Some games give you gamerpics for achievements, themes would be good too. MS points may be a bit unlikely though (I reckon I could buy every arcade game I have with the number of gamerpoints I have!). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 I've got this update now via signing up for preview. Very few changes, but I mean, if you've got the new version there is an entire group of slidey panel things dedicated to new features of this Beta, so you'll know if you've got it or not.
