I like some of the updates. Adding a number to you gamertag to show how long you've been gaming on XBL. I think that's a good idea.

I doubt I'm going to "buy" anything for 160 points, that's ridiculous to me. I think the prices for one song on GH/RB were steep and now a piece of clothing you can't even touch is going to be worth 2 dollars??? You can find stuff @ Goodwill for 2$ that you can use! You are right though, people will pay for it and I'm sure more women will buy things vs. men. It's like Sims all over again! I think the add-on objects will be more popular since you can cloud the space of your avatar with items but still... at 2$ an item.. I bet they will stop adding stuff for free and just make you pay for everything. :no:


I can't wait for the Netflix party though!! yay. This has been long awaited since the release of Netflix last year.

yeah, I'm sure you will. They won't let 8 people watch a movie with only 1 person having netflix I don't think. I'm assuming you'll invite that person to the "theater" then whoever is party leader will choose a movie and it will start at the same time for everyone.

netflix is dirt cheap though, 9 something for 1 movie to your house at a time and you can watch unlimited(of what's available) steaming
