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

-I was here

i think this is a better breakdown:

halo 3 odst= $60
deal with it

but, if u need a better breakdown:

disc 1= full game=campaign,firefight,acsess to reach beta=$50
mythic map pack 2=$10
extra multiplayer disc=free with downloaded maps conveiniantly installed right in so u dont have to always load em
u got a problem with that, suck it.

Okay, here's the deal...

I don't think anyone is saying that you aren't paying for stuff you already own. I would agree with you that you are paying for stuff you already bought. However, I fail to agree with the whiners that it's immoral/unethical/unfair/scam or any other negative terminology someone could come up with.

Yes, Bungie and Microsoft want to make more money. Yes, consumers who already have the content on the second disc will be paying for it twice, if not at full value then at some value. Yes, I understand that people are upset about the principle of the issue.

But, again...no one is forcing you to buy it. I appreciate what one guy said...he is not going to buy it because he feels like he's getting ripped off. That is exactly what he should do.

Let's face it...there's a cost to everything in life...eating your next meal has a cost...you are going to eat your next meal no matter what, and you could go get your meal at the grocery store if you want to. but, you can also go to a restaurant and order a meal as well...it's all something you could have done yourself, but you decided that you wanted the luxury of eating and being served and not having to clean up afterwards...Part of the cost of buying ODST is purchasing something you don't really need...if you don't like it, then don't buy it. If you don't want to pay someone else to do all the work at a restaurant so you can just eat, then don't go...

I fail to see how people who claim to understand the concept of wasting money can make an argument against this example...

The way I see it, the market is going to determine theprice of the game. And market price is whatever a willing buyer and willing seller agree to...Bungie is offering their package for $60, you can buy it if you want, or you can choose to pass. Just know this...if you pass, then you will be passing on the whole thing. If you buy, then you can assume that part of your cost is purchasing something you already have...your choice.

Oh, and another thing...

One of the older map packs is free now...why is no one complaining that they didn't get it free to begin with?

That is because people want stuff before it's free, so Bungie will give it to them, but for a price. So, could you have gotten the heroic map pack for free? Yes, but you would have paid the price of not being able to play on many of the playlists...so, again...why is it that ODST is the only place that people whine about the cost of something? Get over it already!

Quit trying to defend your "right" to "free" content, and just pay the money or pass.

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

Uhh...no. Let me reprise everything you HAVEN'T payed for:

ODST campaign: $20
Firefight and + features:$20
Mythic Maps2: $10
Reach Beta: $10 (it's technically a different game, go figure)

Anyone who is still crying and whining over the price needs to grow up and learn business or why it costs how much it does. This game is fully compatible with Halo3 multiplayer, which means you don't have to change CDs to play multiplayer. Stop being cheap-skates. You don't know what scamming is.

Considering Bungie said back in December that ODST was coming out with every map pre-loaded. I don't think you can complain. They gave us fair warning. It isn't Bungie's fault you wanted to pay the $16+ for Legendary and Mythic when they said the maps would be included with ODST.

Your fault, not Bungie's.


Why did everyone ignore this post? people who paid for legendary and mythic paid so they could play it before ODST came out. I personally haven't bought mythic because I knew it would come with ODST...

Goatman is Scroteman cuz he swings fron nutz.

Poo sandwich -blam!- eaterzzz!!!
Seriously if you think of us as whiners then all you are is a poo eater. Isn't whining called whining because the tone in voice? I didn't know typing involved tones. All you name callers are doing is talking poo along with eating poo. You like to pay for stuff you already own then more power to you, good for you. I would rather be a "whiner" than some -blam!- eater who smiles and is all happy whenever M$ bends you over for some HALO insertion and penetration. -blam!- eaters, you make me sick.

And yet you lose half your MM if you don't have them.

Why can't people stop being so cheap. Buy the game if you want it. If it's too much tough -blam!-. In the end all this crying is pointless. Then again though in all fairness they should have retailed the maps + campaign then just the campaign it's self but doing this putting the new maps on xbox live.

Why the funk does all the poo eaters assume this as a matter of being cheap? I don't care if your daddy is a fat Elvis impersonator making $200 a show doing 3 shows a day on the Vegas strip or a strung out basehead boosting stolen microwaves. With the money got I could buy your moms for the month. Why would I buy her if she was already mine???

  • 07.07.2009 12:42 PM PDT

why are we still complaining about the price? We're obviosly going to buy the game anyway

IF I do end up buying ODST I will make sure Bungie/M$ don't get 1 cent out of it. This will be the only time so far in my life I will buy a used "NEW" game from GameStop. I support my devs by buying new but not for ODST. GameStop will get $55 dollars and M$/Bungie will get Zero. That will be the trade-off which results from their greed. There will be other games to play in the meantime (Namely Section 8 which releases a month before ODST. Go check it out) which warrants an extra week of wait (GS will have copies by the following tuesday after release). Have fun & Don't expect a Fall Of Reach around while getting F'd in the A!!!

  • 07.07.2009 1:18 PM PDT

Were it so easy.

Think of it as:

ODST (Firefight, Campaign, Theater and whatever else) - $50.00
3 new maps - $10.00
The rest of the maps are FREE.

TOTAL:

$60.00

If you're here then that means you're either trying to find my fileshare or trying to see what my rank is to make fun of me for being a low rank

Mock me all you want, Halo isn't my life and that shows in my record

Keep in mind you're the one making fun of me for a fictional rank in a video game than has no meaning

Bungie doesn't decide game prices, retards. Microsoft does

You're getting an all new campaign with new gameplay, plus Firefight mode, 1000 gamerscore opportunity, a separate disc for multiplayer only so you don't have to load H3 campaign ever again because you're MLG, the Halo: Reach beta, as well as three new maps, plus Forge and Theater, and if you're pre-ordering it you get Johnson for Firefight, AND if you're getting the Special Edition, and fancy new controller.

So stop whining.

oh, and while we're on the subject of price, u complainers paid 100-$1000 for a tv, 300- $500 dllars for an xbox, between 60 and 500 bucks on xbox games, 99 bucks for the wireless reciever for xbox live, and 10-20 bucks a month on xbl, yet when it comes to payin 60 bucks for a game, you whine and moan about it????? i downloaded th dlc maps and im not complainin bout gettin em again becuz everyone n\knew they would be made FREE eventually. so stop complaining about it. in december they announced those maps would come with odst, so why are u whining? u CHOSE to pay for them early.

btw, its getting hard to respond to all my haters out there so if u hav a complaint, send it to gotohell@suckmyballs.net
/sarcasm(if u try this ur an idiot for not catching the fact that its an insult, not an actual adress)

I always get stuck at the part where people say 3 maps are worth $10. Then I ignore it and move on, and get stuck at the part where people say the Reach beta is worth more than $0. Then I realise that people are bloody ignorant apes, and remember that there's no way in hell I'll be paying $60 for this!

Also, the way you people are scrounging for features which justify the price (e.g. Reach beta, gamerscore, etc) makes me lol. As does the horrible grammar of most of your posts.

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

I'm not going to buy it anyways.

Rent? Maybe.

Buy? No.At least until I'm sure i'm not getting ripped off.

  • 07.07.2009 11:42 PM PDT

i think that the fact that they are trying to make clear to you is that although it isaimed at players without the map packs that doesnt mean it makes it fair to the people who have already paid for the maps thus the price is too high for them since they've already paid for them.

I already owned the Mythic Map pack - $10

I already own the Legendary Map pack - $10

I already own halo 3's multiplayer - Some unknown amount that microsoft added with ODST.


You guys can be suckers and feed micro$oft with that extra content you already have.

I have just gotten a deal from someone to buy it for $30 bucks without the second disk.

See you in Firefight.

Yeah, it's free, but they told us it would be free after a few months.

They didn't make it clear that ODST would have all Halo 3 multiplayer maps until a month or two before the Mythic Map Pack was released. Now do you see why people are upset about this?

Actually, the DLC Maps you bought were included in as a bonus. They did not even mention that all DLC was going to be with it, and people were already complaining of the $40 to $60 change.
