I like where Microsoft is taking their Avatars. They're not just limited to your profile to put on a face and look all cool 24/7. We've seen them go for a Joy Ride, we've even seen them playing golf. This time, Microsoft and Activision have joined hands to integrate the Xbox 360 avatars into Guitar Hero 5 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii), where we will be seeing ordinary avatars living out their rockstar dreams.

If you download the special Guitar Hero 5 trailer from the Xbox Live Marketplace, you'll see  the bigwigs Don Mattrick, Shane Kim, Phil Spencer, and Marc Whitten all rocking out with their avatars. Activision has made the annoucement, and this is for real.

Major Nelson should be in touch with the Guitar Hero 5 producer today, and he'll let us all know how that goes via his weekly podcast. Avatars will be rocking out by September 1sy, 2009.



The Avatars are moving out:

Must be quite the idiot or living under a rock. Xbox 360's have had avatars that have looked like rip offs of the mii for awhile.
