Xbox Avatar Clothing Update Brings Flippy Floppies

10
The good news? Xbox 360 owners now have flippy floppies in their Avatar's virtual closet.

The bad? Actual swim trunks have yet to arrive, so those hoping to be on a boat might as well be at Kinko's straight flipping copies--you can forget about riding dolphins or climbing buoys.

A list of the new fabulous free footwear, courtesy Major Nelson, follows below. As with past updates, the new items are automatically acquired upon signing into Xbox Live.

    Gentlemen
    • Flip Flops
    • High Top Sneakers
    • Socks and Sandals
    • 70's Leather Platforms
    Ladies
    • Sunny Day Sandals
    • White 60's Boots

    Wouldn't this "news" be more appropriate in a teen magazine targeted at 12-18 year old girls?
