Subject: The pricing is crap

Its honestly crap crap again. Every new "halo" thing coming out gets overpriced. Mythic had that whole deal where you paid extra for Halo wars and got them early even then the maps are 10 bucks while other companies sell them for like way less.

and Bungie wanted ODST around 40 or 50 and we're seeing 60 plus.

Okay well hey Bungie, when you release Halo Reach. Please Do us all a favor and put your pricing into the contract so that Microsoft can't kick us in the nuts again.

seriously Bungie grow a pair cause your fans are dropping mad money so you guys can eat.

ODST looks great and it better deliver better than Halo 3 cause Halo 3 was a hype machine, good but not as good as it could have been.

And that whole Sargent Johnson thing? why can't we just get the full game for its full price. Why do we have to pay extra for stuff?

just irks me.

Bungie doesn't control the pricing! All they can do is hope that they don't price it unfairly, and I think that it's priced fine. $10 for LMP, $10 for MMP, $40 for the original maps and theatre and forge and NEW campaign and FIREFIGHT....

MS decides the pricing, how many times does it have to be said?

Go take your rant to the xbox forums.

For Sgt. Johnson you just pre-order, no extra money

  • 06.13.2009 8:33 AM PDT

why do we have to preorder though why can't he just be in the game?

and I am sure bungie could put a pricing thing into a contract if they really wanted to.

Bungie are the developer, MS is the publisher.
Also Microsoft own Halo.

Go figure.

Bungie might be able though I have no Idea since I have no experience with contracts, but for the Sgt. if you are already going to buy the game, why not pre-order

please no more complaint topics

  • 06.13.2009 8:38 AM PDT

Fine no more complaining...

Then you guys can keep getting ass raped by M$

honestly, Halo Reach will probably be 100 dollars if you want the full game.

not Pikesmaker

I don't think people realize that they're not paying $60 for ODST: they're paying $60 for ODST plus Halo 3 MP.

Yep, they could just remove that Halo 3 MM, which nearly everyone already has, and sell it with lower price.

But then they would loose money, and that is what M$ is not going to do.

The game is being sold as a standalone product. So just because you have the game, doesn't mean the potential buyer has already bought Halo 3. Its being sold with that in mind. And don't fight back now, giving me some sort of crap. It's a choice made so that any newcomer to the Halo series, and rest assured whenever a Halo game is released there are loads of newcomers, will get a content complete package.

Like I said.

  • 06.13.2009 9:05 AM PDT

Jesus christ mate, cant you just shut the -blam!- up and be glad your getting a great game? Bungie said that they didn't view it as a 60 dollar game when they first revealed it...BUT, that was before they added the ENTIRE HALO 3 MULTIPLAYER on a disc with all the maps that have been released PLUS 3 new ones AND before Firefight was included. Think about it. Firefight +theater+campaign+multiplayer= More content than halo 3 had.

Edit: Look, im sorry if I seem rude, but I am pissed off with all the threads complaining, whether its about Dare and her recon helmet, the pricing, sergeant Johnson, the battle rifle, or whatever crap you guys manage to think of. What makes me even angrier is that its not going to stop. Bungie is a great company, why do you guys bash them so much? They make great games; when you get a life, if you become a video game developer BETTER than they are, THEN you can bash them without making an ass of yourself. But seriously, HOW MANY times has this been posted? Hundreds, even thousands of times! We cant even get a good thread in because stupid ones like this bury it.

Thank you sir, that was an epic rendition of this topic.


Posted by: Xx KNOX xX
and how!

Halo 3 ODST is only slightly smaller than a full retail game, on top of it being a Halo game, hence it is going to be priced as a full retail game because Microsoft is well aware that no matter how high a Halo game is priced it will sell hundreds of thousands of copies.

And "that whole Sargent Johnson thing" isn't you not getting the full game by purchasing it in a store, it is you getting a small bonus for pre-ordering the game.

Many companies do it. Stop whining.

Duracell.

but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

wow... you don't pay extra for Johnson, you pay for it at a certain time. and it is properly priced. it is no longer an expansion. it has developed into a full game with 2 years of development to it. (some 60 dollar titles like COD only have 1 year of development behind it) when bungie said that price, it was because they ewer planing an expansion, it has become a full blown game

Its not the money!!! Its the -blam!- point!!! Why am I being sold -blam!- I already own. I bought Halo 3 already. I have half the -blam!- being offered.

I can throw the second disc in to the middle of all the extra headsets and cables M$ has bundled in with new products. I DO NOT NEED IT!!!

Take some deep breaths and relax.

Don't buy it if you don't want it. Problem solved.

Well, to some of us (such as myself), this is a great deal. Fortunately, I don't have Live, but I love playing split-screen with friends. So the campaign PLUS the new maps is a great deal for me.

You type well bent over. (sorry about that)

Thing is, I do want it. I may have just had my fill of being worked by M$. After sending out my 3rd 360 for repairs I tend to have a short fuse.

The prices just keep going up on everything. $10 for three maps. $60 for an expansion.
