Xbox Live avatar will get pets on Dec 3



Microsoft officially confirmed that Xbox Live avatar will get pets companion on Dec 3. The pets range from Large Dog, Pug Dog, Dog in Bag, Cat, Siamese Cat, Long-Haired Cat, Goldfish, Guinea Pig, Pony, Monkey, Bird, and Snake. Should you want one, it will set you back 240 MS point ($3).
It hasn't been clear how you would interact with the pets, but it would be definitely tied to some advertising related product.

Now let's see some readers comment:

Oh, lemme guess...you'll have to pay 10 MS points every time you want to feed your pet. And if you don't, it'll die! Lovely.

I suppose a virtual pet for a virtual me was practically inevitable.
You have to hand it to Microsoft, they really know how to milk something.
I can't fault them for that though, if consumers are willing to pay for something like this, then who am I to argue against it. Needless to say, it's an interesting addition to the "avatar dashboard universe", but one I won't be spending money on
