Thread: M$ plumb new depths with Avatar Pets.

Do they know no shame, as if props and branded clothing for virtual Barbies was not enough M$ have decided to open a virtual pet store.

Microsoft has most of the bases covered in its pet lineup, with three types of dogs (including Dog in Bag), three cats, birds, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, and of course, monkeys. They'll even have a pony up for sale.

Each pet will run you 240 Microsoft points.

MONKEYS!!!!!!!!

I want a pet crocodile or pitbull that would be cool, people must buy this toss

If there is a dog which looks remotely like mine I'll get it, if not - GUINEA PIG! (See avatar)

As there are far more worthwhile things you can get with 240 points, I won't be going anywhere near this oddball idea. If they had penguins though, we might have a deal.

Ah now, Penguins are a different matter entirely!
