First 'Paid' Avatar Items Appear On Xbox Live Marketplace

I'm reading: First 'Paid' Avatar Items Appear On Xbox Live MarketplaceTweet this!


Purchase the Ninja Blade Premium Theme and get five pieces of ninja clothing.


Like customizing your Avatar? Get ready to start paying for avatar downloadable content.

A few days ago, Xbox Live product unit manager Jerry Johnson said Microsoft would be "continually releasing and unlocking clothes for the next six months" for the new Xbox 360 Avatars and that they would be "coming out in theme packs." At the time, we didn't know what he was talking about, but were relieved we wouldn't have to pay Microsoft points for individual items.

Now Siliconera (via Xbox360Fanboy) has discovered that From Software is selling a premium Ninja Blade bundle for 250 Microsoft Points that includes wallpapers and five ninja-themed avatar parts. Though this is the first instance of this happening, coming as quickly as it did after the NXE update, we're sure it won't be the last. As always, you can use your wallet to tell Microsoft if you think the deal is worth it.
