​Honestly, what will it be next? Tattoos? Cell phones? Food? Homes? Cars? Thinking about the future is scary. For now, it's just pets. Virtual pets. Virtual pets you have to pay for. Fucking ridiculous. I've never had a greater desire to cancel my Xbox Live account than now. 

If this is the kind of trash features Microsoft is feeding us and charging for it, why am I even paying them in the first place? I'm gettting a PS3.

In the meantime (if you care), the pets will be available for 240 MS points and will include various types of dogs, cats, snakes, birds, fish, guinea pigs, and even monkeys. I'm gonna go drown myself in my sink, readers. It's been fun.

Or you could get over yourself and just *gasp* not buy them. This isn't even an issue. It's not like it's part of a game, or a requirement for anything. It's like paying for a gamer picture or theme, which they've been doing for years.

Besides, i think the $5 lightsaber was far more appalling than this. Save your "I'm going to quit" for legitimate things like making you pay extra for most of a game.

Shouldn't have posted too early.

You can buy things with a free account. You're "paying for" the ability to play games with other people online with a gold account. Not the ability to shop.

I'm with Kris. Don't like the pets? Don't buy them.

Nonissue.

I definitely see what you're saying and this is certainly appealing to the more casual XBL market, but personally, I think it's a waste of space.

Ironically, they have a cell phone. Oh shi-
