Hold on. If I read correctly, one of your largest points here is "The Price for the Legendary edition and Halo 3 is too high." Sounds like someone got their pre-order bumped up 30 dollars..
Slow down and use your brain for a moment.
All new releases are 60 dollars. $130 is a classic example of "You get what you pay for." Bungie doesn't have to change that, and they are a company. They're working for money. Sure, they love the game, and they love the fans, but they still want the money.
If Bungie didn't make you pay 60 dollars, they would fall behind, as everyone else in the business is doing it. Use your common sense. Just because Bungie loves their games and their fans, doesn't mean they should lose money on it. It's still a business.
You're living in a dreamworld, Neo.
I guarentee you, Frankie likes his job, I think he finds it a blast. He loves talking to his fans, and telling them about this cool little blade of grass he found. I think, despite all the crap he goes through, Achronos enjoys his job and I think he enjoys the interaction with the fans. Even Bungie, down to their programmers, one of which I've talked to and played with on Xbox Live, have a great sense of humor and they're a fun group of guys who truly love their job, and love their fans.
If you go to any of the big events around the gaming industry, you'll notice the Bungie employees up and about, and plenty of people can give you great stories about it. I might not shovel out $130 for Halo 3, but I'm still going to buy Halo 3. You don't need the helmet, if you don't want it. You don't need the extra bonus DVDs, if you don't want. No one is making you pay for the extra.
Bungie made us pay 10 dollars extra for the Halo 2 collector's edition, because there was ten dollars extra worth of stuff. This little collection here looks entirely worth $130. If you don't think so, I can't really force that opinion on you, so you can go on babbling about how Bungie has betrayed us, and 'sold out'.
You know what?
You don't want to pay 130 dollars, don't! I can't stand all these people acting like helpless guppies with this weird attitude or mindset where they have to buy this, as it's the only way to get Halo 3.
amen Zag, amen. This post is truly exceptional.
