It doesn't really matter about the price all you want to worry about is it kicking ass. If you still want the price to lower then don't buy it simple. Now shut up and wait till release day
As i said before im still buying the game. If you don't like it then shut up, simple

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Or even better, why don't we start a petition to lower the price of EVERY game? My wallet is starting to cry.

Anyway, petitions are against the rules. You're best off doing this on another forum. Not that you'll ever be successful, once Microsoft sees that loads of people will buy it, no matter what the price, they aren't changing it, unless it's going to be raised.

I'm sorry to tell you this. But the only way ODST's price will drop will be when it's been out for a good 5-7 months. By the way, it's called capitalism. If you do not want to pay the price, don't buy it. Why should the people who plan to buy it or have payed for it via preorder have to listen to whining? Take a chill pill and calm down. Because you cant win.
Again im buying the game no matter what. Im sure you like buying things twice right? Why dont you sit down and think about it for a little, if you cant then pop in a few hundred of pills to think cause you really need them.

They are not just selling ODST on this disc they are also selling Halo 3's multiplayer which includes[Matchmaking, forge,theater ....ect] and Microsoft needs to charge money for that. The other half of the cd is the 30 dollar exspansion pack which includes[Story mode, Co-op,Firefight mode] Then the rest is free stuff. be happy its not more lol.

People who haven't bought Halo 3 will now have access to its multiplayer which Microsoft needs to charge money for . You cannot resell a item and not charge for it its not how a company makes its money. The fact is that lets say I didn't buy Halo 3 but Im going to buy ODST well now I have to pay for ODST which is an exspansion pack but I need to pay for the game its exspanding first. You see my point yet?

I agree it does have key aspects of a game but no where near the same replayability as the original Halo 3

Dude even though its a game add on think about it. You are getting multiplayer beta for reach a full and longer campaign then halo 3 with free roam with new weapons firefight a few new maps. Think about that stuff before posting a thread like this.
Halo 3 beta was free so it doesn't count, the campaign is 3-5 hours long if you stick to doing the missions. If you dont do them you have nothing else do to so think about that. The only new weapon is smg with a silencer, firefight is only 1 mode thats all, and all multiplayer maps which most people already paid for plus 3 new ones

How do you know these things as a fact?
Have you played ODST?
There could be more new weapons like the auto mag which is new because it is way different than the halo ce pistol.
are you joking or something, its not a new weapon its still the same old mag

Thanks, but i know very well Microsoft will not lower the price. I just want people to understand they are paying half more for something they already have.

You have to pay for Halo 3's multiplayer again yes. You know why? Because It is being sold to new consumers who may or may have not payed for it before. Not everyone has Halo 3 .So yes you need to pay for multiplayer mode because its part of the exspansion pack theres no "sold sepereratly " parts to this espansion pack. ODST Has a story mode which we will have to pay for because it is new to everyone and yes you will have to pay for the multiplayer too because not everyone owns HAlo 3 .

NOT everyone owns Halo 3 ,therefore you need to pay for the product with what is inside. Your reasoning is like this , lets say I have a set of silverwear and I just want to buy a fork. I can't do that, I need to buy the whole set. You may not split a set and sell sepererately.

There are two things on this forum that piss me off;
Idiots and group invites.
What's even worse, is that I can never seem to get away from either of them ¬_¬

The website you've chosen is poor. It asks you to register to sign. I don't see the pont so, even though I support your cause, I won't sign because i'm forced to register for something I shouldn't have to.

Find another petition website. No wonder you only have 30 something supporters.

ODST is NOT worth 60 bucks alone. shooot we don't even know how many maps we'll get for fire fight.. I bet we'll have to buy DLC to get more maps though. I read that the campaign is kind of short, which was why it is/was called an expansion.

so overall.. it just depends on whether you have halo 3 already or not...

if we have halo3 already, then damn we're paying for another halo3 and an overpriced ODST
if we don't have halo3..then ODST is a daaaamn good deal

Not everyone onws Halo 3 so they need to sell the product to new customers. If they were to sell seperately which they wouldnt because you would need to switch between dics to play Halo 3's multiplayer. You would have a seperate disc with just Firefight mode and the story on it. It wouldn't be worth producing the game exspansion if it was only 30 dollars and giving away 30 dollars of free stuff.
