Subject: Why Are You Guys Mad About The 60$ Price?

My troll sense is tingling.

I know that's what I've been thinking. What's wrong with the price tag. It's just like any other game with an extra flippin disk. It deserves the 60 dollars if not more. Halo 3: ODST is its own game.


I love You

Well said "I Intrepid I" I 100% agree with you. And would like to add that ODST should at the very least be reduced price to make up for the many short comings of halo 3. I have countless friends who would play halo2 24/7 who now refuse to play halo 3 because of how bad it was.
Will i still buy it?...I pre-ordered it a while back! I am very much a Bungie fan and know for a fact that they can do better than halo 3 campaign. So I really have my hopes up for ODST

First of all....

GTA4 and Fallout 3 provide 50+ hours of entertainment and are very good games
they justify the $60 price point

ODST is spin-off expansion that has a smaller campaign and a tacked-on Horde mode
it should of been $40.

The campaign is LONGER, how many times do I have to explain this?!

ODST is basically a new version of Halo 3, the fact of the matter is however that halo 3 is old, it should be priced at bargain.

AK 47625714: What worries me is, what if other publishers follow this example? It's bad enough that we pay $10 for map packs.

If you spend 60 bucks on a game, and pay a monthly surcharge to play that game! all content should be free! What ever happened to developers handing out new maps for free?? xbox360 = rip off!

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.

Title Says It All!

But Halo 3 Was 60$
So was COD4
And WAW [BAD GAME]
And BadCompany
Skate 2
GTA 4
Fallout 3
Oblivion
Mass Effect
Gears of War 2
And Gow 1

So Why Complain Guys

It Certainly Looks like its worth 60$ If Not more [Dont Take That As A Idea]

People dislike it due to the fact it's an expansion not an entire game. Although it actually is, but they just called it an expansion to Halo 3. I for one LOVE this game. Btw, in the title i think you mean ''Why are some of you guys mad about the $60 price.

Well, what staggers me is that you seem to be on an xbox 360 game site. Which, pretty much means you do have an xbox 360. Dude compared to a PS3 i would pay an extra 500 bucks for an xbox 360.

People are mad because Bungie said it would be 40$, and ODST isn't a full game. It's just an expansion pack. So Microsoft makes us pay 60$ for something that isn't a full game, but we pay the price anyway. Therefor, go buy a full game instead of ODST. Same money, better/longer game. And ffs, don't only say the dollar price. The world isn't about America. There is some land across the Atlantic, and it's called Europe. We pay 50 euro's. Thanks!

  • 08.11.2009 3:07 AM PDT

I dont see the problem cause i'm paying £60 for a limited edition controller and limited edition controllers cost around £30-40 i got ODST and both of the disks.
But i guess im not American so i cant say what the prices are in $ but do you guys get the controller?

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Ive already paid for 4/5ths of the DLC that theyve released.....

Bouncing between here and Waypoint. When I get banned from one I go to the other,

While the content in ODST's box is now worth $60, many players who have bought Halo 3 and all it's current content feel that we're paying for some of the same content twice.

Yes, if you haven't bought Halo 3, you're getting ODST, Firefight, plus Halo 3 matchmaking with 24 maps.

But if you've bought Halo 3 and it's map packs, it's just Campaign, Firefight, and 3 new maps.

Not exactly worth $60 to some.

i believe ms is selling this game mostly for people who have live which is quit alot considering all of the people playing dozens of multiplayer at any single time. if you live out in the country or something where internet sucks then you should be getting games that are more single player based like fallout 3 and gta 4

besides kids shouldnt be playing halo 3. its rated mature for a reason. there is language, violence, and some disturbing stuff particularly on flood levels which may not be appropriate for children. plus there may be some disruptive language players say which parents dont want there children to hear. halo 3 is an adult game ment for adults.

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

well this is probably going to be one of the best buys for me because i never bought halo 3 i just borrowed it off a friend until he took it back, i also didn't buy any of the map packs so everything i am paying for is new to me.

If i already had Halo 3 and all the map packs like a lot of people here i would probably be a bit annoyed but hey i spent 110 australian dollars(91 us dollars) on wanted; weapons of fate, which has no multiplayer and a linear single player experience what lasts for three hours. In Australia our games are damn expensive

sig goes where?

Because in terms of new content, we're not getting much. The only reason why the game is $60 is because of the inclusion of the second disk, which is great for people who haven't bought the game, but most of us already have bought Halo 3.

What worries me is, what if other publishers follow this example? It's bad enough that we pay $10 for map packs.
Hmmmm, PC game expansions have been selling at the same price as full games for decades, this isn't a new concept.

Basically people are mad about the reason why it was up'd in price. Microsoft made the call and bungie decided to include halo 3 disc 2 as a bonus to keep the content in check. Basically we are paying 60 bucks for:

4-6 hour campaign (those saying more are grasping at straws and trying to justify it in their own minds)
1 new game mode
No matchmaking or multiplayer support for ODST
3 new maps

We are also re-buying yes its not free, its what was including to drive the price up:
Halo 3 disc two which contains:

All the map packs true halo fans already bought
Forge
Halo 3 multiplayer (which doesnt make since, if you have odst you own halo 3)
and all the other little gimmics of halo 3 except campaign

I know some of the younger ones on this board will try to justify the price with comments such as, "Well that was then, they've had months since then to make the game much more rich in content." and "The reach beta costs like 20 bucks right there." or my favorite, "I think this this this and this cost X ammount of dollars so I justify the price by placing imaginary numbers to different parts of the game,"

All have been proven wrong and silly in the big $60 bummer thread. I used to make thought provoking posts, but people just ignore it except those with a sense of value of money. Bottom line is those who know they are getting ripped off here on an expansion are complaining. Those who ask their parents for ODST or only spend their money on video games because school is still the only worries in their lives will support the price since they have no value of money yet.



4-6 hour campaign=sure if you dont die,have you seen how big new mombassa is??you can play with your friends too
1 new game mode= yah FIREFIGHT.did u hear?ITS ENDLESS,know what that means?play as long as you are able too,play with freinds or A.I
No matchmaking or multiplayer support for ODST.matchmaking is overrated,if i hear another kid yelling over the mike,camping with a shottie,or boosting im going to go crazy id rather have firefight than matchmaking
3 new maps=yah with 3 easy acheivements

  • 08.11.2009 8:18 AM PDT

$60 is a good deal too since the game comes with 2 discs

  • 08.11.2009 8:21 AM PDT

In short, $60 for ODST means full game. Worth it.

  • 08.11.2009 8:22 AM PDT
