[Metareview]

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2009/12/uggosweater.jpg (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/catalog.aspx?d=24&g=-1&bt=0&br=14052&sb=1&p=1)Flatly rejecting the holiday spirit of giving, Microsoft has released a new collection (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/catalog.aspx?d=24&g=-1&bt=0&br=14052&sb=1&p=1) of premium Avatar (http://xbox.joystiq.com/tag/avatars) items. As you may have guessed, the items have a holiday theme. The collection encompasses a large range of items from New Year's hats (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/offers/011f0010-0000-4000-8000-000058580828/) to dashikis (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/offers/011f0009-0000-4000-8000-000058580828/) to dreidels (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/offers/011f0002-0000-4000-8000-000058580828/). Microsoft has even released the traditional ugly Christmas sweater, even going so far as to title it "Ugly Sweater (http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/avatar/offers/011f0008-0000-4000-8000-000058580828/)." That's right, you can spend real money on a digital version of the worst possible present you could receive.

The only thing more depressing is knowing that people will actually buy it.http://xbox.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif (http://xbox.joystiq.com)Avatar holiday collection hits XBLM (http://xbox.joystiq.com/2009/12/10/avatar-holiday-collection-hits-xblm/) originally appeared on Joystiq Xbox (http://xbox.joystiq.com) on Thu, 10 Dec 2009 16:48:00 EST.
