If I had 240 Microsoft points tomorrow, I would buy you a monkey. Havenât you always wanted a monkey? The Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace pet shop opens tomorrow.
Depending on your opinion of the Xbox Live Avatar Marketplace, tomorrow brings either a wondrous new addition or another ridiculous thing to waste your money on â pets! Microsoft has most of the bases covered in its pet lineup, with three types of dogs (including Dog in Bag), three cats, birds, snakes, fish, guinea pigs, and of course, monkeys. Theyâll even have a pony up for sale, making countless childhood dreams come true with the push of a button.
The downside? Each pet will run you 240 Microsoft points. The upside? They donât pee on your girlfriendâs robe, who then tries to cuddle you while wearing it because she has a cold and canât smell it, leaving you with the moral dilemma of whether or not you should tell her she smells. Thatâs just an example, mind you, and certainly didnât happen in my apartment last night.
