Duracell.
I don't keep going and going and going and...
but i Start, and just don't Stop.

So what if the saxophone is black?
it has better tone the the gold one.
damn straight i play Jazz.

god i feel like that zombie from I am legend Beating its head against the ground when it landed in the light.

skull bouncing repeatedly off the asphalt of the freaking daytime street, fuitless effort to stop the -blam!-ing pain of the community's stupidity on the matter of the pricing of the game.

Get the hell over it. really i'm -blam!-ing tired of reading all you threads about the price isn't fair!!! or Do You like paying for something twice? (this one especially pisses me off, because it is presented as if it is being ambiguous, but is OBVIOUSLY calling Microsoft out on the pricing issue).

Am i a Microsoft Fanboy? Not at all. I -blam!-ing HATE microsoft. I use a mac, hell I own 3 -blam!-ing Macs, and took my PC and replaced Vista with Buntu because of Microsofts failiure at LIFE, that's right The dregs of Linux is better than Microsoft's "STATE OF THE -blam!-ing ART" system

so why in god's -blam!-ing good name do i give two flying -blam!-s about what is said here? I like Halo. hell Halo is the reason i own a game system at all. don't get me started on the God Damned PS3 either. their Awkward -blam!-ing Carpal -blam!-ing Tunnel Syndrome arr-tard controller is so difficult to use it takes the fun out of gaming.

and you know what else is sucking the joy and sunlight out of gaming for me??? the complaints of this once happy, if not slightly ego-maniacal, community. The constant complaints have risen out of the odd, BR vs No BR threads and now we have the -blam!-ing war of 1812 on our hands Burn the -blam!-ing white house says one side, the other yelling get the -blam!- out of our land!!!! Both sides have reach the point where I'd worry about someone blowing themselves up in an slightly screwed up and suicidal attempt at destroying a forum from their own living room.

Seriously Give it the Flying -blam!- up. The price is decided, there are no -blam!-ing Barney the Purple Armour Wearing Dinosaurs In ODST, the B -blam!-ing R isn't in ODST, and guess the -blam!- what?!?!?!?! You are not Gods! You have no say, no -blam!-ing power, and you have no way to change anything. It's all decided, it will not change, so why complain about the fixed, the constant? it's like Gravity. it is and always will be 9.81 meters a second squared at sea level. It's like the speed of light will always be represented as c even though there is no letter c in the word "light". it's there. IT WILL NOT CHANGE. So give it the -blam!- up!!!!

/rant.


now. I'm sorry for my outburst but this is getting ridiculous.

Actually, those shouldn't even cost anything. Did Halo 3 Beta cost anything extra when it came with Crackdown? The answer is no.

It's kind of hard to recognize sarcasm in typing. That's why people put the "/sarcasm" at the end when they were being sarcastic.

I would agree with you if those two games were not terrible and is just a way the develpers wanted money. Bungie's game on the other hand will not suck and is being made for the community and a little less about the money. It is worth it.

Vancouver BC, Canada.

Some games are about $78.00 because of the recession. I don't know why people say they cost $60.00.

I swear to god if people say this one more time...

Reach beta is free. Crackdown didn't cost anything extra when it included the Halo 3 Beta did it? No. So stop saying that.

Are you serious? LOL. I can go to Wal-Mart, Gamestop, and Game Crazy and a game will cost me $60 dollars. Where do you shop?

-Kweb

I don't find it a big deal to be $60. I'm only 13 and I'm paying for this with my earned money. I think it's reasonable.

It has a full brand new story-mode. Also, a whole new feature: fire-fight. I know that fire-fight is going to be incredible and even if the campaign is only 10-12 hours will add on to by the hundreds. You have theater, just like Halo 3. Oh yeah, and it has all the map-packs and the complete Halo 3 disc.

I'll go for $15 dollars at the least for campaign, K?

- All new campaign ($15)
- All new fire-fight mode ($10)
-Brand-new achievements, armor, emblems. ($5)

Alright so that's the first disc at $30 dollars; wait there's a second disc of Halo 3? Isn't that like $60 dollars?

-Halo 3 campaign ($15)
-Halo 3 MatchMaking ($10 - note, same price as fire-fight in ODST.)
-Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack ($5)

There's $60 dollars! Oh yeah I forgot.

-Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack ($10)
-New Halo 3 maps Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore (approx. same as Mythic's = $10)

Ok, so that's $80 with a $15 campaign for both Halo 3 and ODST which isn't even full retail price? Oh yeah, it isn't one. So what if I made both campaigns $20? Simple, it could easily cost $90, even $100. And I didn't add in Theater at all in there did I?

So if you really feel like they're over-pricing it. You're wrong.

I'm the cult of personality,
I call it like i see it, if i feel the need to be blunt and to the point, then i will, if i feel the need to be very detailed, i will, im here to stay and im here to do things my way, if you respect that or not is your choice, not mine,
and don't worry, while i don't agree with everyone's opinion, i do respect everyone's opinion.

look if you get it then great but if you dont then you will be like so many others that will miss out on the fun got it good

Magic is magical, so are shoes... Along with plastic.
Don't forget to flush the toilet, because -blam!- stinks.

What's funny about these threads are you all are going to buy it anyway.

The only way the price will lower is if that Halo 3: ODST has very low sales, and Microsoft sees the error of their ways.

I wouldn't pay anthing for these but ok.

-Halo 3 campaign ($15)
-Halo 3 MatchMaking ($10 - note, same price as fire-fight in ODST.)
-Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack ($5)

There's $60 dollars! Oh yeah I forgot.

-Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack ($10)
Oh my god, like, totally! That's $40 of stuff we already have! So, by your reasoning, we already have 50% of ODST, but we still have to pay for it again! Yay, that's totally worth it! Also, please note that matchmaking does not apply to firefight.

-New Halo 3 maps Citadel, Heretic, and Longshore (approx. same as Mythic's = $10)imo not worth $10, but that's just my opinion and is highly debatable.

So if you really feel like they're over-pricing it. You're wrong. hahahahaha

In the days of old, there were legends of a land long lost to time. This land was known as Ranna'Mor. Ranna'Mor was said to contain in its borders 7 warriors. These warriors had once unleashed a veritable hell upon the ancient world, until they were locked away. My name is Toriad, and I am one of those warriors. Our return is approaching. Do not run away, do not cower in fear; take solace in your final days, for that is all we can do. -Legend of Ranna'Mor

I have to agree; what's the big issue on the price? ODST, while considered an "expansion" of Halo 3, is a stand alone project that does not require a copy of Halo 3 to play. It's a full game itself, and even includes Halo 3 multiplayer (sorry for so much repeat info). That's almost 2 games for the price of one.

Come on people!
