If you registered for the Baby Chocobo Avatar Pet in conjunction with Microsoft' Final Fantasy XIII Twitter contest, you're in luck! Codes have gone out for the item, which can be downloaded free of charge from the Xbox Live Marketplace.
The Baby Chocobo is identical to the one held by FFXIII character Sazh Katzroy, and will flit around you as you pet it. Unfortunately, it will not land on your head, but that's likely because you don't have AFRO POWERZ. Anyway, it's adorable and cute, and if you hate on it I will find you and destroy you.
Oh yeah, and I named mine McNugget.
