Xbox live avatar pulling out new props?1

[MyNL822]

Alright so imagine my suprise when my avatar just pulled out a windows phone that I never bought and started using it? I just was looking at him and he pulled out this phone that looked like windows 7 and started moving it around like he was trying to get signal. Then he put it back in hid pocket like nothing happened.

Could you post a picture of your Xbox live avatar?

Alright give me a few minutes.

Yes, I've seen this happen before on my own device. It's completely random though... I don't know what triggers it. Maybe someone will find out.

Picture i got before he casually stuffed it into his pocket

That's cool. I had no idea this ever happened randomly.

That has been there since WP 7.

I probably didn't notice since I haven't played any games in months and never really played games often.

I wish it could do more things. Maybe take the WP prop on XBL so others could see it. Like an exclusive for WP owners.

There is a WP prop for Xbox avatars (see my profile picture on this site) and it is a yellow Lumia 920, but you can only get it when an ad appears on your dashboard. You then have to follow the instructions on screen (it involves sitting through an ad for WP8 features) and then you have the opportunity to download the avatar prop.

It is completely random when it appears; I spent an entire hour refreshing my dashboard and it didn't appear, and then one day a few weeks ago I turned my Xbox on and the ad was sitting there waiting. It's all down to luck, unless someone else knows a way to induce it.

Would be nice if the avatars could react to things we are doing. If I were listening to music it would be nice to show him rocking to the beat too. If I had a game running in the background it would be even cooler if it showed him playing a game system or something. Just something that would be nice to make avatars more appealing to look at.

Well, it kind of does the music thing. If you have music playing, the avatar will immediately start dancing.

I've had this happen for quite long, quite rare but I love it when it does it
