Here's a bed time story. One night a father tries out the new Xbox Live update before he goes to bed. Wisely he completely ignores the Games on Demand service, frowns at the two measly games listed on his new Completed Games List and then spends some time picking through the Avatar content. He decides to get a guitar for his Avatar and a lightsaber for his Star Wars mad son who has an offline Gamertag. He decides to add the lightsaber to his sons account so he gets a nice surprise when he boots up for a game after school the next day. Strangely the lightsaber doesn't show up in his sons Avatar customisation list. He rechecks his own, still there, then heads back. Then it dawns on him, the expensive avatar content can't be shared between profiles on the same machine, but of course why would it provide even the teensiest amount of value to the consumer.
This can't stand, unless I'm a complete twit (which is entirely possible) Microsoft have really punched low by restricting Avatar content like this for no reason I can see. Screw you Microsoft, when I'm driving if I see you crossing the street tomorrow I won't be braking.
