360 Rant Rave Forums

Yes, you can has pony. Just recently announced were an assortment of Xbox LIVE Marketplace additions of the cute and/or fuzzy variety. By visiting here or through Xbox 360 browsing you can take a gander at the new pet shop, apparently resulting from a Microsoft survey previously administered. With pets ranging from cats, dogs, and even a snake, as well as the upcoming chocobo, now your Avatar can have his or her own menagerie!

As previously mentioned, Final Fantasy XIII has been hyped on Twitter with xbox.com’s mystery promotion, promising a surprise that would only be discovered when enough fans espouse the game via the popular social networking site. That threshold has been crossed, apparently, and xbox.com made good on their word.

Thanks to an unannounced number of Twitter users following the promotion, now anyone who has signed up with a gamertag at xbox.com can register the preferred contact email address in order to receive a code in December. What will this code net you? Why, nothing short of a Chocobo!

That’s right, the famous livestock/steed/accessory can be yours with minimal duty, even if you (unlike the author) did not help fill the Tweet Progress meter. It is currently up for speculation what can be done with the Avatar item, whether it will be worn in the hair of your Avatar or if it simply “warks” happily at your side. The item codes are due out in December, but the game itself arrives in the states on March 9th, 2010.
