As soon as Bungie can control the price, I'll side with you!


Posted by: Billy kite 69
honestly, Halo Reach will probably be 100 dollars if you want the full game.


Maybe, if you wanted the collector's edition. >_>

I would like to say that I do understand that Bungie does not control the price. This is a M$ move for sure.

They always package -blam!- you don't want with stuff that you do want. I think this is why it bothers me so much. They may have crossed the line this time. An extra Headset is one thing. The first crappy head set they sold me broke (along with the wireless head set) so then I can use the headset they sold me with the controler keyboard.

But virtual content!!! It is a new low. Its not like the new maps can replace my old beat up maps. It is the exact same stuff. I will never have any use for it, EVER!

i did not read your wall of txt but shut up about pricing halo odst is gonna be 60 bucks just like every other 360 game ok

  • 06.14.2009 7:46 AM PDT

Everyone i am going to break down the pricing.

so, because of the short campaign, the base price is $40. $50 was alternate price

$40 base price
+$0 for mythic 1, legendary and heroic map pack
+$20 for getting mythic 2 before it's released to the public.

or if you like this better

$50 base price
+$0 for mythic 1, heroic and legendary maps
+$10 for mythic 2

both equal... well lookie here. $60

My personal opinion is this game has more than halo 3 did when it was released, so it's worth at least full game price.

Note:There is a pinned topic on this.

you quoted before i edited my computer screwed up

The game is not going to ba a short campaing expansion like they said when they announced it. Now instead of 4 hour its gonna be 10-12 hours and firefight is included as well as 1745 more Gamerscore available by getting more achievements. And it comes with all the maps plus 3 extras. Please quit your whining.

i find it hard to believe that all you can think of doing is complaining. you are paying extra to play the mmp2 early.

The game is not going to ba a short campaing expansion like they said when they announced it. True

Now instead of 4 hour its gonna be 10-12 hours We don't know for sure, and walking 5 miles to your objective shouldn't be calculated to average game lengthCampaign-$15

and firefight is included as well
as 1745 more Gamerscore available by getting more achievements.Achievements should not be priced Firefight-$15

And it comes with all the maps plus 3 extras. I already payed for a game I already have, all my DLC maps, and I have to pay for them again?Mythic Map Pack 2-$10

Please quit your whining.We are "whining" because we don't want to pay for a second disk of a game that we already have and DLC we already payed for.Now for a person that is new to Halo and Xbox Live, this package is a bargain, but not for owners that already have Halo 3.


Bold is response, italic is the pricing of each content in my opinion.Whatever, I'm done for the day.

Oh boy. All you kids are the same here. Don't get so worked up. I'm not.

I just think the price is off considering that most people that will be buying this already paid for half of what is being offered up. Thats all. So the problem is not solved.

Microsoft decide the pricing.

It's a halo game. Microsoft know it will sell money so that why the selling it for a higher price.

  • 06.14.2009 8:18 AM PDT

Well I blame Micro$oft mostly, and I'm glad that Bungie split from them too.

I blame M$ entirely. This is something they do to us all the time. It is just the first time they are doing it with virtual content. What are we going to do with 2 copies of maps? Nothing. It is a waste. But we are stuck with the bill.

  • 06.14.2009 8:38 AM PDT

You do know that bungie wont release it via marketplace. Its on the disk its not a code.
