Subject: The reason why odst is 60$

Okay the reason may be either because it will include all the map packs and bungie wanted to get a profit out of it. Or because thats just the regular price of a regular new xbox game. That may be two of the reasons. Think about it and post you feedback thanks.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

M$, the whole new campaign was more then the anticipated, the new firefight mode and it comes with Halo 3's match making expierence.

This is my signature nub.

No. 1 word: Micro$oft. Notice the $.

93% of statistics are lies. Formerly Xfire Grunt. Unfortunately, you can't change the WLID for your BNET account, so I had to create an alternate account. My other WLID was spam city (and it was my e-mail account too).

Wrong. Microsoft did a profit graph and found $60 was the price it would make the most money for, irregardless of the features. Thats how these things work. Of course, if it was just a 3-4 hour campaign that $60 wouldn't have been a maximization of profit, but it is just an expansion and doesn't have as much new content as Halo 3 itself, IMO.

Thanks For EVERYTHING Bungie!
-I made the "Bungie employee killtages/blooper videos. I'm glad Bungie enjoyed them. Much <3 Bungie!

It's all business my friend ...

Man i was planing on getting the limited edition. But holy s#1t thats allot of money.

  • 06.03.2009 8:29 PM PDT

They also had to make maps specifically for Firefight. That had to have pushed the price up.

I'm sorry but, 60$ is a great deal. If you don't have Halo 3, then you can get the multi-player match making with ODST. Which is atleast a good 20$. Then you get 3 new maps, 10$ along with all the other maps, up to 20$. Then some new story and a new mode. 20$ easy.

It is a good price. But if you do have halo, and have already bought the map packs, then, it is redundant and you are wasting a little bit of money.

Thank you for all your feedback. You guy's have been really helpful.

But also consider replayability.
With such an open world and consistent oncoming enemies around the city, you may very well want to spend 500 hours just running around sneak-ninjaing covenant.

Intolerance is the highest level of stupidity and inbred thinking.

That might be it. Plus the game isn't necessarily short. You can take your time slowly going through all of New Mombasa, instead of going straight for the objectives.

Agreed on those.

I've only seen one other expansion released as a separate game which was C&C3
I believe the expansion was only $30. Tack on an extra $10 for the new maps. Plus we have the new feature Firefight which I believe is the other big expansion to this game. Bungie seemed to put a lot into that and it definitely looks sweet.
