Premium PSN Avatars Now Available
Ever since the release of the PlayStation Network, users have been clamoring for new avatars. Who could blame them? The current offering is bland, boring, and not at all a good representation of the gamer behind the PSN ID and avatar. Today, PSN users across the globe’s prayers will be answered.
The unexpected has happened today when premium avatars appeared in the Hong Kong PlayStation Store. Next, the EU PlayStation Store has received the same premium LittleBigPlanet avatars. We could only suspect that the US PlayStation Store will be receiving them also since LBP content usually hits worldwide. Going by prices in other regions, it’s likely that they will be priced between $0.49-$0.99. Check out some of the options below.

Keep an eye out for them once the other region’s stores get updated later on today.

wow, took them long enough after implementing the ability to use them like 5 updates ago… ah well, better late than never I guess. Is anyone actually going to pay money for this? I realize its a measly 50 cents, but I really just don’t care enough to pay anything for these… I don’t really understand why any one would.
I know some people that are happy abou tthis
Now the only problem is everyone will probably have the same avatars since there are so few being sold atm
ok now heres the new issue. MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE DAMNIT SONY!
Any images of what they look like?
Hopefully theres an option to preview them before buying.
99c for an avatar?
hmmm…..no tekken avatars.
I might buy one.
Put some NCAA or NFL avatars and I’ll gladly drop the cash for them
Good grief, 50 cents to a dollar for some stinkin’ little picture that probably took them a whole 5 minutes to make available. Fifty cents for a hundred of them might be a fair deal LOL.
@Jack
wait for the market to get saturated enough and that’ll happen. The demand is great enough now that people will pay 50 cents for a 3×3 square digital image.
Yeah , I will wait for a better selection before I will pay for one. Tekken avatars would be cool. I would like a Nariko avatar or good old Kratos would do as well.
@DGCRC210G
Kratos already an avatar
i would gladly pay $20 just so i can upload my own custom avatar
I am 100% with Josh. Paying for avatars is only good if there is a good selection, or even better the ability to make your own. Sacboys are cute and the outfits are funny, but now everyone will just have the same avatars from this generation. I’ll probably buy one, but I am not sure why.
I will only pay for something I want and these current crop of Avatars just don’t do it for me…
@BigWoopMagazine
if u didn’t care about avatars then why are typing as if did care about it
Sony needs to work on more Game unlockable content. I feel slightly excited to know that when I do something in a game I get something in Home (like I’d use it, but it’s a nice gesture) but what they need to be working on is things such as, LBP Download Code for a game with a DLC costume inside a new copy box (promotes the sale of LBP and gets you the costume for owning the game), unlockable Avatars and Themes (especially to have an avatar that is only unlocked after receiving a platinum, that way those who know the game, might already know of your accomplishment by the avatar you use).
but what do we expect from game companies. they haven’t even realized yet that some people’s major decisions in buying an older game is if it has trophies/trophy update. (looking at you Valkyria Chronicles)
Why cant we have we make our own avatars and Sony can delete the ones that aren’t acceptable??
Do it Sony.
