Subject: Maths for dummies: Halo 3 ODST is fairly priced.

My troll sense is tingling.

Halo 3 ODST is worth 60 $.
first disc:
Campaign = 15$
Firefight = 10$
ODST gameplay = 5$
30$

second disc:
Halo 3 matchmaking, custom games & forge = 15$
Legendary maps = 5$
Mythic = 10$
Mythic part 2 = 10$
40$
30 + 40 =70$
Also, it's aimed at those who don't have the map packs, and they're on the disc so quicker loading and more hard drive space. Don't forget the Reach Beta and theatre modes.

Really? I'm not sure how much Halo 3 costs today. but, if it is 70$, than we're getting it cheaper.

It's aimed at people who don't have the maps! Open your eyes dammit!

A couple things wrong with this. I've given up this discussion about the price but what you just said up there only proves what people are talking about.

#1. Odst gameplay: 5$...wtf is that supposed to mean?

#2. I already have the Halo 3 matchmaking, custom games, forge, Heroic, legendary and mythic....why do I need to pay that last $30?

You obviously don't get the point people are trying to make, I'll leave it at that.

Read again, it's AIMED AT PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE THE MAPS. Oh and the different gameplay does equals 5$, I wouldn't want to pay for the same gameplay.

Then why is this necessary? No one is discussing whether or not the price is fair for people who don't have the maps. People are discussing why people who already have the maps have to pay AGAIN fo rmaps they already have.

Why the hell do you care if others think it's a fair price? I personally will play it more than many other games that I payed 60 dollars for, so I am willing to spend 60 dollars on this game.

Yay! Ignoring the point and marketing logic!

-blam!- those people, I paid for my maps fair and square. I don't want to buy them twice.

H3:ODST = $40. New maps = $10. Chop off the $10 of fluff and we'll call it a deal.

theres 30$ worth of stuff in there ive already paid for

how is that fair?

last time i checked that would be considered a SCAM


Ok here's something for you. There is a site that sells a certain computer for 1650, and another site sells that exact same computer for 1000, yet there are people who still think that the computer is worth 1650, and buy it. People sell things at a certain price point, even though it may be over priced, because they know there are many people who will still spend that amount of money on it.

Haha see this is why I chose to leave this discussion. I get your point, but you do understand what makes it unfair for people who have already bought all the maps correct? That's the only point people are trying to make. I'm not arguing against the business tactic, but whatever if you already have the maps and are willing to spend another $30 for them again by all means go for it.

Just seems rather silly is all.

thats not the same situation at all

Yes, things can be overpriced, and will be over priced because people will buy them.

OMGZ, YOU HAS TO PAY AN EXTRA 20 DOLLARS, WHA WILL YOU EVA D0?21?W1

Get real. It's 20 extra dollars. I can make that in one minute if I want to. Get over yourself, stop complaining and get a life.

first of all darthnazgul, ODST is gonna be $60.
The reason that i think that it's gonna b 60 big ones is because bungie would lose money if they made it much cheaper. I think that 50 bucks is much better, especially seeing as it is an add on to halo 3. I'm gonna buy it nonetheless because i need the vidmaster achievements in ODST cuz i want recon.

How about this one. A film comes out, and a ticket to see it is 7$. The film comes out on DVD for 10$, and barely any special features. It would be seen as fairly priced, because fans of the film would buy the DVD, as well as people who didn't get a chance to see the film.

Ok I didn't word my former statement correctly. The value of said computer is roughly 900 dollars, yet it is sold for 1650. This is due to the fact that there are people who value what the computer comes with based on not just the value of the parts inside (In our case Firefight, Maps, Beta etc.) Just in the case of ODST the prices are far less.
