I sort of dig avatars. It's pretty blatant, but since Nintendo has them and Sony's getting them in Home, why not? There was something mentioned about devs being able to attach avatar clothing to achievements (a Gears of War t-shirt for getting the Seriously achievement, for example), and that's pretty appealing if it does happen. Hopefully there'll also be some games that use avatars and whatnot.
