Lots of money wasted there. I take it theres a nice list option to see everyone that online on your friends list instead of having to scroll through them all and seeing all their horrible Miis prancing about. Having watched them it just looks like Ill be doing everything though the guide button. Themes look terrible now. Lots of money wasted there.

I can't help it though, I think they're creepy. :p I don't want one of those marching around my beautiful HD screen, I'll be beating back the urge to swat at my screen with a newspaper, to be rid of the thing. The only way I could even tolerate this on my XBox is if they also provided a "Beat it senseless, rend the abomination limb from limb!" minigame. I'd much prefer to have the corpse of one of those things sitting around on my screen, than running around doing all Mii-like things. Bleh! Edit: Honestly, is it just me? Doesn't anyone else find the Invasion of the Smiley Plastic-Men a little creepy? The whole Video Toys for Grown-ups thing a little odd? They seem more at home in a Doctor Who episode. Pff, I’ll be as emo as I like!

Probably on Gamasutra or it might've been in the Kotaku "tour" video the other week. Basically you have to have an avatar and you can't turn them off. The only 'optional' thing is you can choose whether to have a thumbnail of your avatar's face for your gamerpic or you can use a different image. The avatars themselves are an integral part of the new dash and can't be switched off. I can’t remember where I read it now, there’s been so much of it.

They already debunked that particular urban myth. I don't really have a problem with them. If you watch the videos here, you'll hardly even notice them most of the time. Give it a month and I think all the shouting and screaming will have died down and everyone will be asking when they can buy the Halo shirts. No, you can’t switch them off.

You can stick the avatars up your arse though. Crappy bloody things. Thankfully you have the option to switch those off (I think) but the rest of it is sumptuous in comparison to the dreadful dash we get now. It is slick. You can stick the avatars up your arse though.
