Mii's on the 360? I wish I was making this up...

It's firmly in rumor category at the moment, but the leak resulted in even more (unintentional) information being leaked on upcoming titles, so if it's a farce it's an incredibly elaborate one.

Nah, I'm pretty sure it is for real. I cannot wait until E3...

We will add your cultural and technological distinctiveness to our own... resistance is futile.

I was playing Mario Kart the other day. I was looking at the voting screen where you see the Mii of each person next to their vote and thinking that this is what the 360 needed. This could be nice if I ever bother to renew my gold subscription on Live.

It's a really gay idea. Why are people so excited?

Please don't tell me that you actually thought this.

I think its a great idea, although i'm worried its going to look 'generic' when compared to the MIIs.

This is a bad idea. The new interface is ugly as shit. I like the party feature, but I'm going to miss the "blades".

Hmm, Mii-like avatars, a new focus on "socialization" and "party gaming", the fact that at Microsoft's E3 thing the latter half basicly was casual game after casual game...

I wonder who they're ripping o...I mean imitating?

Obvious rip-off is obvious.

I never really liked the menu design for Apple, and it doesn't look any better on the Wii or 360. There's a fine line between "simplistic" and "sterile hospital" design. I'm hoping this design is solely for the Xbox Party thing, and not the whole dashboard. I like my Darkness theme with Richter Belmont gamerpic.


tl;dr version: Ew.

But who the hell would buy clothes for their MS avatar from xbl marketplace?

Probably the same people who buy weapons and gold for MMOs.

Oh ya, Miis are stupid no when M$ does it and they have arms and legs.
