Those seem more 00's than 80's thanks to that asshole Kanye.
DiGiTAL SiN254 @ Jul 15th 2009 11:18AM
exactly.
pete @ Jul 15th 2009 1:42PM

Paul @ Jul 15th 2009 5:30PM
what's wrong with kanye?
CrashSpyro123 @ Jul 23rd 2009 4:03PM
He's a gigantic douchebag, so this helps weed out the douchebags on Live that also have fauxhawks.
psychohog @ Jul 15th 2009 7:05PM
He's a gay fish.
RedSonRising @ Jul 15th 2009 9:00PM
Kanye was great. 5 years ago.
now he's one more weak rhyme away from a luis vitton casket.
Jcarpio @ Jul 15th 2009 10:43AM
If MS is going back to the 80s, go full on.. offer up some Miami Vice suits, cloth belts, double polos and a hanging sweater around our necks.
oh and "top sider" shoes.
Jcarpio @ Jul 15th 2009 10:44AM
Oh and folded up cuffs on jeans
joeybeast @ Jul 15th 2009 12:01PM
Can't wait for shoulder pad for the ladies.
Defias Bandit @ Jul 15th 2009 1:04PM
Do you remember the electric shavers that were sold during Miami Vice's heyday? They let you shave but left you with the perfect amount of 5 o'clock shadow, just like Crockett. It was called something like the "Vice Device".
Courtney @ Jul 16th 2009 1:22PM
And some OP color changing shirts!
SnowSoldier vGv @ Jul 19th 2009 12:36PM
... and skinny ties!
Storm Eagle::The Blood Edge @ Jul 15th 2009 10:45AM
That's weak sauce.
Who's in charge of putting this crap out?
TheDrizzle @ Jul 15th 2009 2:31PM
These are old, I modded my avatar so I got those shades a long time ago.
Jimbodawg @ Jul 15th 2009 3:30PM
Agreed.
incubeezer @ Jul 15th 2009 11:20AM
Nintendo just gave these glasses away in animal crossing city folk.
hamdrew @ Jul 15th 2009 11:23AM
MS, I don't want obsolete shades, I want an option to change clothes color!!!
Cal @ Jul 15th 2009 11:30AM
But then how will they drain more MSPoints out of you when the store comes out? =O
hamdrew @ Jul 15th 2009 11:49AM
They'll find a way, they'll always find a way >=(
Jcarpio @ Jul 15th 2009 12:04PM
Add in Flashdance inspired cut sweatshirts and pat benetar leggings.
Yep, child of the 80s
WEGGLES @ Jul 15th 2009 12:20PM
...and still no Way-Farer type glasses. :[
Tom @ Jul 15th 2009 12:23PM
I'll keep my monocle over this garbage, thanks.
RedSonRising @ Jul 15th 2009 12:23PM
ugh, lame week for avatar gear.. at least theyre still giving away stuff, i wish theyed think about it a lil more.. wtf am i supposed to do with these
Helloimbob @ Jul 15th 2009 2:48PM
Wear them? Or don't.
I mean WTF are you supposed to do with some totally optional free pixels?
RedSonRising @ Jul 15th 2009 8:58PM
oh no! a clever commenter, what am i gonna do?
@Helloimbob
clown, what am i supposed to 'wear' them with? if theyre handin out ishtty 80s glasses i need an ishtty 80s outfit to go with them..
(i was hopin for a red leather jacket after M.Jackson died but all we got was Thriller)
Tarheel @ Jul 15th 2009 12:31PM
Dangeresque Too is happy to hear this
RESISTANCE @ Jul 15th 2009 12:41PM
YES!!!!!! MY FAVORITE PIECE OF AVATAR GEAR!
I am a huge kanye west fan and just rushed to my xbox to put on those white ones.
RESISTANCE @ Jul 15th 2009 2:10PM
Lmao why did I get voted down for liking these glasses? No one got rated down for simply hating them.
Prox @ Jul 15th 2009 2:54PM
@RESISTANCE ("...why did I get voted down...?")
You got voted down for "I am a huge kanye west fan..."
Paul @ Jul 15th 2009 5:34PM
I'm with you man. kanye is decent. I mean he helped daft punk get the attention they should've been getting for the past decade. plus that last album he did was the ballsiest risk taken by a popular artist in years.
Louis @ Jul 15th 2009 12:43PM
I've pretty much gotten my avatar to the point where he looks exactly like me, wearing an outfit I would wear. I don't know if I'll ever change him again.
But these glasses are awesome.
the_pop @ Jul 15th 2009 1:16PM
Thanks to those glasses it will be easier to spot the douche bags on live.
PSA: If you see someone wearing those glasses in real life punch them in the groin until they stop. FOR THE GOOD OF HUGE MANATEE.
rTwelve @ Jul 15th 2009 1:41PM
If I pay lots of money, do I get night vision goggles?
Lilpunkduck @ Jul 15th 2009 1:53PM
that totally has to be unlockable with the game
Akira @ Jul 15th 2009 2:41PM
That's 80's fashion? Those shades are pretty popular at the momment, everyone is wearing them in the UK.
Akuma FTW @ Jul 15th 2009 2:53PM
I want a pair of Skidz. Make it so Microsoft. Engage
Jason Magio @ Jul 15th 2009 5:55PM
Those are very popular in the clubs in nyc and li. I dont know why they added it to xbox but its becoming a rather popular look, but not serious where you see people wearing them out. More like a party/club thing.
Kayla @ Jul 15th 2009 8:32PM
Is anyone else sick of the gender discrimination in clothing items? :/
NukeAssault @ Jul 15th 2009 8:42PM
Why cant we get proper glasses. =\
dylan @ Jul 15th 2009 9:38PM
It seems they come out with one article of clothing per 3-4 months, meaning there may be a decent wardrobe to choose from around 2015, not that I cared about these computer dolls in the first place, but it seems Microsoft doesn't either.
LegendaryRedass @ Jul 16th 2009 7:59AM
Now all we need is jean jackets with an Anthrax back patch.
Garvey @ Jul 23rd 2009 1:02PM
I can't wait until MS adds the props option to the Avatars. Then we'll see true 80's fashion...like the Zack Morris cell phone, or the 3 lb beeper! Awesome!
