And don't include the Reach Beta in the price. The Halo 3 Beta came with Crackdown for free. Reach Beta will too.

Lol you know what's funny, that's about 3/4 of the content inside the ODST package. All aboard the scamtrain! Firefight is like zombie, it's not supposed to be an argument in the 60$ price, it's something to have fun around with some friends since Bungie has so conveniently disabled matchmaking features in the entire ODST disk. And the campaign is only 5 hours long, if you read the updates.

Yet of course I'm going to buy it, it has Halo in the title, it has to be good. Those better be the best 5 hours of my life.
Firefight is not zombie its fighting waves of enemies more enemies will be attacking you in different ways than could happen in a normal zombie game. You can also have fun with your friends in firefight mode or co-op and you can still play matchmaking it will just be Halo 3's instead of a whole new one for ODST. The campiagn is only 5 hours because its an EXSPANSION PACK! Its supposed to be short .

You need to read the updates more closely .

You just contradicted your self. Seeing as how it's an expansion pack, it shouldn't be full price.

Not everyone owns Halo 3 you retard check Halo 3's sales and then check if every one on Earth has one the human population and Halo 3's sales don't match so Not everyone has Halo 3.

NOT EVERYONE OWNS HALO 3!

If you don't like it, don't buy it.

And even if you don't like it, we're all going to buy it in the end anyway. So, stop complaining. Besides, you can't do anything about it, complaining will only get people in a pissy mood.

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

I really hope you are joking, the Halo 3 Legendary edition was $125,. In Canada I paid $175 for the Legendary edition, and your claiming that ODST is worth $120?

That is some poor logic, especially when ODST's second disc is comprised of mostly old content that I already paid for.

The inner content is worth close to 120. Im not joking Ive broken it down even with time delayed discounts and all and its crazy we are getting ODST for only 60.
Working in retail finaly payed off with pricing of items lol.

No, that still isn't right. Especially since Microsoft has a history of overpricing their products, like the 120 GB HDD, and their own freaking OS's.

so by your logic the orange box should have been 120$ bcuz it included half life 2
but no it was thrown in as a bonus..they did not charge extra and hold the people that had already purchased HL2 hostage


Couldn't you say that about Halo ODST?
I say that the campaign and a huge, free roaming city is worth a lot. I live in England, so I don't work in Dollars. But I think that Campaign and Firefight both together make a full retail game, and to me the Maps are a bonus. I don't see why people are valuing the Campaign on Missions only and no free roam, to me campaign would be 20+ hours at least. I could go round all day exploring New Mombasa killing Covenant Patrols, couldn't you?

To the OP - the cost of these games is nothing new. Heck, I was gaming during the NES/SNES era.

I remember them being $80 during their release.

Various titles dictated higher game prices eg...I recall "Killer Instinct" being around $100+ in some stores. It was a hot title in it's day.

Also, if you can remember the "Super FX" and "Super FX2" chip that was installed inside of the game cartridges: these chips acted as a mini graphics-accelerator for the SuperNes. So cartridges like Stunt Race FX, Yoshi's Island, and Doom that featured the FX chip inside were around $110.

ODST is a steal, and I'm happy to support Bungie in purchasing their newest title, which I'm sure will be awesome.

The game is 60$. The maps are a bonus. No one is forcing you to do anything. Quit whining, seriously.


the game was 30-40$

the maps are not a bonus

at E3 MS stated this


Bungie said they thought it was worth $40 dollars.
But Microsoft is in charge of the prices, so Bungie can't do anything.
Btw, put the $ (dollar sign) in front of the numbers, we're English, not French.



dont correct trivial insignificant things like that....makes you look like an asshat

anyways....MS stated at E3 that while the game was initially not full priced it was jumped up to 60$ bcuz it now included all prior halo 3 maps

aka exactly what i said in the OP


lol like your name too.

Scam or no scam, I'm buying, because Halo is a gaming bliss I won't find myself missing out on.
