Miicrosoft Avatars?

Yup, that's one crappy title pun but what the hell, it's my first wii-ism, reckon everyone's entitled to one in their life. Any more and Bowser himself will cast you into a fiery pit. The reason for such tabloid-esque copywriting is that it looks like MS are gonna be introducing Mii style avatars to the 360. As long as they don't charge for them it's a great idea that'll thankfully replace the lame-ass gamer pictures. Hopefully the option to keep using your own photo will remain though – more personalisation is always better than less. Of course, fully expect microtransactions to go into overdrive as licensed costumes no doubt start showing up to tie into games and films. As long as you can actually give your animated avatar a decent beard i'll be happy. My Mii's five o' clock shadow just doesn't cut it.
