The wee digital billboard (above) is now absent from the NXE as of this posting, but we've confirmed that the snowboarding/skiing related items are, in fact, now available - for both male and female Avatars - free of charge.br /br /Unfortunately, there's not a lot to get excited about. Each sex has a new jacket, beanie, pair of gloves, and pair of boots available. You can tell there are new items available by the star icon in the upper left-hand corner of the "Change My Clothes" option in the Avatar editor. The new items also have stars on the thumbnails themselves. So, get ready for even more Avatars wearing the same outfit. We hope that Microsoft still plans to introduce a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/11/21/microsoft-nxe-avatar-clothing-updates-will-be-free-for-now/"more clothing and accessories/a soon, and in larger quantities.p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2008/12/03/brrr-y-little-snow-gear-arrives-for-nxe-avatars/"Brrr-y little snow gear arrives for NXE Avatars/a originally appeared on a href="http://www.joystiq.com"Joystiq/a on Wed, 03 Dec 2008 21:30:00 EST.
