Why? They've mainly been hyping this up as a way to dress your avatar up in brand-name clothes. I'd expect some new clothes, just without the brand name.

Also, the new award system allows games to unlock new clothes for you, which could give you some new stuff, without paying any additional money to wear it.

I've been a supporter of online distribution for the last couple years, and I doubt I'll buy anything from Games on Demand. I like how online distribution is better for the industry, since there are no used game sales, and considerable money is saved by not buying shelf space at stores. However, I haven't seen one single game I can download that isn't the exact same price as it's retail copy.

I won't be buying any games at full price. If I'm saving the publisher money, I want that to be reflected back in my wallet. Give me some games at $40, and we'll talk.
