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.
wow you also like saying things twice
Because you can't read it once and understan so I posted it 3 times in 3 different ways if you want I'll draw a diagram of why they need to charge customers for products. Ive worked in retail and I know how this works first hand.

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.
You dont need to register, just put in your email and name thats all, if it ask you to register just click on the x to close it. Thats all

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
Woot! see this guys gets it.

Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of these threads where people are angry about the price.

Here's the price run-down as I see it:

Heroic Map Pack: $10
Legendary Map Pack $10
Mythic Map Pack: $10
ODST campaign AND Firefight: $10
Halo: Reach beta: $10
NEW Mythic Maps: $10

That's $60 right there. One could consider the campaign and Firefight both worth $10 each, but I combined them.

I'd like to ask this question to those who feel cheated that they have to pay for content they already own: There are people who don't have access to Xbox LIVE, or haven't downloaded the map packs. Wouldn't you feel cheated if those people bought the game for $30, making it effectively as if they didn't need to buy those Map Packs?

It's not quite fair is it? People who have already bought the Heroic, Legendary and Mythic Map Packs would be cheated of $30.

If the price of the game is $30, then Microsoft loses money that (say that everyone had access to LIVE) they would otherwise gain. Microsoft wouldn't be getting their money's worth.

People have to keep this in mind: There are people that do not have the downloadable content on Xbox LIVE Marketplace. The extra pricing is for these people who do not have this content and should be paying for it.

Well I won't own all of my Halo 3 stuff soon. My disc is on its last leg. Now I can consider my options. I could buy Halo 3: ODST, which inculdes an extended campaign, a Firefight mode not included in Halo 3, brand new maps, and ALL of Halo 3's multiplayer. Or I could just buy a $40 Halo 3 disc minus all of Halo 3: ODST's content with an old campaign I never really play anymore. Guess which one I'll take?

Lets go back to the silverwear concept. All you want to buy is a fork,but it comes with a spoon and a knife.
So you say "I just want the fork."
I say "No you have to buy the whole set. "
You say "but I have already paid for a knife and spoon before why must I pay for it again?"
I say "because its in a set and you cant split it."
you get mad and start a petition.
I laugh and put the silverwear back on the shelf.

This is how it works. You must pay for the product . You already are getting lots of free stuff , don't be cheap.

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
Are you joking?
Its got an enhanced scope and fires way faster hence the name auto mag.
So whne you decide odst is not to expensive and get your poor family to buy it for, try the auto mag compare it to the halo ce magnum and then commit suicide
lol you make me laugh, look at the 3d model its still the same weapon, the weapon doesnt have a scope on it, yes the weapon fires faster you know why? cause you are pressing the trigger faster. and again im still buying the game.

  • 06.16.2009 4:55 PM PDT

Maroon 5 is awesome. Deal with it.

who cares. It comes with the original halo 3 experience + 13 Downloadable maps = $40 halo matchmaking + original campaign = $40. Another 1000 gamerscore coming in ODST. Firefight.

Back up your point before you jump to conclusions. Halo 3 ODST is more than worth the price that has been branded on it.

Online petitions never work, I disagree about ODST's price right now, but I also disagree your price.

EDIT: Achievements shouldn't even be a factor when it comes to a games price because gamerscore have nothing to do with gameplay.

lol, look if people dont have xbox live then why would they want the maps if they cant even play them online? Think a little okay, use your nogin

Put it simply this way, people that already own this should get a discount and for people who dont should definitely buy it, its an awesome deal.

Yes, because people OBVIOUSLY don't have LAN parties and would like the extra maps. Read my above post too.

You do know that multiplayer BETAs last a week or two, incomplete work and are suppose to be free, right?

And weren't the heroic maps free?

People who dont have live might want the maps for lan parties or splitscreen you think before posting because you have yet to do so.

Yes you have already bought Halo 3 but theres no way to give that type of deal out because everyone would have to show proof of purchase with a reciept . Reciepts exspire 30 to 60 days after purchase and most likely you dont have yours any longer so this deal would only be possible to people with reciepts.
Microsoft will not lower the price because it would have them lose money and they don't like giving away milions of dollars of free merchandise.

Why should i pay 30 for something i already own such as the Heroic, Legendary and Mythic map packs. Also beta's are suppose to be free.
Also isnt heroic map packs free on xbox live marketplace

It does have a scope, watch the video, you cant win in a conversation. ok good for you, adding something to the same weapon doesnt make it a new weapon.
