You are indeed right... those reasons are completely moronic and unreasonable.
No one realizes that they are adding all the extras in so they can sell it as a normal game.
When I say extras though, I and Bungie aren't referring to the skins, or recon, or the reach beta.
If no one realizes ODST is a complete game yet, they should shut up and leave the forums for good. ODST has everything a normal game does. It has an entirely new story, theater mode, and it has an extra survival mode thats completely new to the Halo series. They even included a whole disk dedicated to halo 3's multiplayer, matchmaking, and forge... Halo 3 ODST has more content then Halo 3 had itself.
People need to grow up and realize that it is most certainly a game, and just as any game, it has the basic $60 price tag... and if they don't like it, who says they have to buy it?
But in all seriousness towards the topic, people are taking everything the wrong way. Bungie is simply putting all these tidbits of the game you mentioned out in the spotlight so more gamers will become interested and buy ODST.
What happened is that all these things got on the wrong side of the public view and detracted attention away from the whole package. So now we basically have fools running all over the forums thinking they'll be paying 30 to 40 dollars extra because of some gimmick...I guess that's a nice way of putting all of those things; a gimmick.

Why are so many people whining about the price. thats a great price. it basicly includes 2.5 games. im thrilled that its only 60$ if bungie was as greedy as most game makers they would have made it 80$ considering the huge amount of content that it comes with. A new campaign/firefight, Reach beta, and halo 3 multiplayer + 10$ worth of maps. so i think the price is awesome no matter what some people say. =] And besides they need to make at least a small prophit. do you think theyre gonna just give it out for 20 bucks when they put 2 discs plus a load of other stuff? that would just be stupid. they contribute enormously to their fans in the first place. they gotta think about themselves to!If you had read the original post, then you would know this is in know way about the price of the game. And the Reach Beta is worthless so you can't "add that in" (name of the thread, if you hadn't been lazy and read it you would know that) to the overall price of ODST.
