I saw in another forum posting yesterday about the confirmed $60 price tag and was dissappointed. I myself am now going to wait until I can get a used copy for cheaper (eBay...) and was wondering how many others were swayed enough by this news to hold off their initial purchase.

Gamertag: ODST Buck

I think that the price tag is acceptable, and I love Halo 3 so I'll pick it up on the opening day.

The video review at IGN will probably be my deciding factor on whether or not there is enough new content. But I will definitely pick it up eventually.

IGN are weird at reviewing things, I'd rather judge the game for myself.

True, I only mean to use the video review as a good source of game footage. Their lame humor is often lost on me...

Yes, I'm pre-ordering it.

When I go on for the first time, I'll be Sargent Avery Junior Johnson. "We got Jackles in the Courtyard!"

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance." -Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.

No, I really don't need to purchase the maps again. They got my money the first time for the maps, Bungie is not getting anymore this time around just for a cheap expansion.

Ah, I thought you meant you where wanting to see if IGN liked it before you bought it.
I like video reviews, just as long as they don't show too much.

I'm gonna pre-order ODST once I find out which shops are releasing the Johnson codes with the game.

I'm getting it the day it comes out because I absolutely love Halo! When playing Gears 2, all I could think of was how awesome it would be in halo, and now it is! Not to mention: the new campaign, all the maps (including 3 new ones), and a whoping 1750 gamerscore! I can't wait! I LOVE YOU BUNGIE!

Wow I think I'm one of the few to completely agree with the OP.

Four shots, four kills, reload, repeat. This is the work of a sniper.

Release, midnight if possible.
