Epic Games has announced that Gears of War armor will be headed towards the Xbox Live Marketplace for use by your Avatar. This is one of the better Avatar costumes I've seen announced, the Fable costumes weren't so impressive. All I saw was shirts there. But this really does Gears of War some good, since these are the actual armor featured in game. You can even wear the Cog helmet. If you're an Xbox 360 gamer, you must know about Gears of War. It's one of the most popular games available. If you've gotten your Free Microsoft Points as shown in my first post, you're all set for this already. At a price of some Microsoft Points, the Gears of War Avatar costume will be available to you.
Not only do you get the Cog armor featured in Gears of War, but you also get to wear the Locust armor. Such as the Locust Priest armor, for those of you who gotten through enough of the Gears campaign to see it. The only thing I don't like is how Microsoft has the rule that costumes released for Avatar's can't make you look inhuman. It would have been amazing to have a true locust costume where you were altered completely. Though these are the first serious Avatar clothes I've seen announced, and you guys should take advantage of it. A price hasn't been announced for these, yet. But I'd imagine it'd cost you something at least. I doubt many companies are going to be releasing Avatar clothing for free. The Gears avatars will be available when the next Xbox Live system update occurs.
So if you're waiting for some quality content to be added to the Avatar Marketplace, wait no more. The Gears of War armor will be coming to the Avatar Marketplace soon. So if you need the Microsoft Points to be able to purchase this, visit my first post so you can find out how you can get Free Microsoft Points.

Xbox 360 Avatar Marketplace
There's gonna be an update coming soon, that will allow you to customize your Avatar to your hearts content. Though, it will cost you, as the items bought for your Avatar will cost you Microsoft Points. But you'll be able to purchase clothes resembling video game, such as Secret of Monkey Island and Halo. That's coming next month.
The Avatar Will have a marketplace dedicated to it, accurately named the Avatar Marketplace. It's included in your Avatar customization menu. The clothes and items available in the marketplace will be divided into categories such as styles and games. Off the back, you'll be able to purchase clothing from Halo, Fable 2, and the Secret of Monkey Island.
Though some items for purchase may not be as flashy as others, it'll still allow you to customize your character to look like something out of Halo. The price range can go from 80 to 350+ Microsoft points. There is also a section for "Awardables", which is clothing or accessories that you can gain from games. This section is expected to be featured in later titles.
This is a pretty good announcement for you if you wanna customize your Avatar, to be different from others. Heck, it'll even be good if you want to earn clothing and accessories while playing games. It sounds like a good feature. Playing through Left 4 Dead 2 and getting clothing to resemble one of the characters or zombies. Sounds good enough to me. But some are paranoid that developers won't feel inclined to allow for any Awardables, if they think that they can just sell the clothing for profit. We'll see how the Avatar Marketplace goes. If anything, you can just get Free Microsoft Points as shown in my first post. Take a look!
