They already have this without avatars, its called Gametap. Its to bad Gametap didnt get in on this market with consoles, now MS will use (not going to say steal as its not even gametaps original idea, they just dids it the best (so far)) the idea and kill gametap. While MS putting its might behind this can sometimes mean good things, I dont see it. Gametap has no limits on size (you can bet MS will for those 20 gig xboxs) and that will mean fewer games. Gametap currently pays the owners per use so good games get more money, poor games... MS has some pretty interesting pay tiers for LIVE, and hardly any are really good for the developers and owners other then the ability to be out in such a high profile market (which MS controls the advertising on). I know, I know, Im so anti MS it can cloud my opinions. I like my 360, even liked my Xbox (excellent media player) but I keep looking down the raod to a MS dominated console world and it scares me.
