Customize your avatar according to your personality as dictated by a limited number of customization options that don't match your personality at all unless you're a corporate whore sponsored by doritos.

Unreleased movies of games not even announced (an amazing looking action rpg game for example) and more. Theres a SWF that says the avatars will represent you in XBLA games. Here's some pictures of avatars close up.

Hmmm... But will it be better than HOME?

it could be designed by someone else, Rare is 1st party and they probably helped in some way.

Despite the fact that those pics are remarkably similar to Mii's and almost nothing like the character models in HOME? :lol

HOME is a big laugh at MS (and in the rest of the industry). these aberrations are more like ZWINKYs or those 3dvu chat dress-up avatars. casuals eat this shit up.
