The reason why is because it is Halo. People would give their kidney and left nut for a Halo game, and Microsoft well recognizes that.
The price isn't going to change no matter how much you whine about it, and taking up space on Bungie forums doing so will just waste even more time and space, considering Bungie has nothing to do with pricing.
All this considering, if you don't want to spend the money, don't buy the game. If you will anyway, then buy it. Pick one and stop whining unless you just love wasting time.
EDIT: Either that, or buy the game for $40. The collectors edition comes with a special controller and the normal game, and a controller is normally $60. If you already have 4 controllers then buy the collectors, keep the game, and sell the controller on ebay or craigslist. It will be sold, and you might even make a little bit more than $60 on it if you want to be a jerk with shipping costs.
And who are you to say that it won't go down in price if we "whine"? We're not whining anyway.
Whining: make a long high sound because you are in pain or unhappy. The dog was really sad; it whined all night.
I'm not whining. I'm standing up to something I don't see as right, just as many other people do. You might have forgotten, but standing up for you beliefs changes alot of things. I've seen people protesting for something they don't see as right, and guess what? They get what the want. Why? There's power in numbers. The bad thing is, like you said, Its halo. The average Halo Demographic are children. They can't stand up to anything. This is utter overpricing and if you don't see it as so then i don't know what to tell you. (this is not towards you Mibz, its towards the reader) You have either to much honor to say you were wrong or are just blinded by the game's awesomeness. Believe me when I tell you, there will be results to this. Someone has to say something. I'd settle for two versions of the game, one priced at 60$ with everything and one priced at 40$ with just the campaign/firefight. Of course, since everyone will buy the 40$ one, it is a bad move for MS to do this. However, there WILL be some result out of this.. Mark my words.
