Subject: Why did Bungie change the price of halo 3 ODST?

Predator135x,Eastaman135,Da shekee... Dear People, You should all be thanking bungie for this good game. (But I still think they should put a swords play list... Ranked FFA swords playlist 6 people max)

I remember when I bought the halo 3 Recon magazine and it said it will cost 40$ like Banjo Kooze. Then when they changed the game title to halo 3 Recon to halo 3 ODST they chaged the price to 60$. I was upset when I found out. :(. Did they change the price because halo 3 made 170 million today? Or just for the heck of it? I can buy halo 3 ODST when it was 40$ when not when it's 60$... NO WAY! So my question is why did they change the price of the game?

Because they extended the campaign, added more stuff. And they included all the map packs + the Halo 3 multiplayer to make the price reasonable.

Bungie didn't change the price, microsoft did. They have this thing where just about every game must be 60 bucks. So when they changed the price, bungie decided to give us the reach beta and the halo 3 multiplayer on disc 2

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Bungie never changed the price...Microsoft did.

Another job well done by the Halo 3: ODST fanboys. :D

  • 08.14.2009 1:16 AM PDT

Microsoft determines the price for the game, Don't blame Bungie.

The price was never changed. There was never a price announced before they said it was sixty dollars.

Same for the MP. 800MP isn't bungie. Bungie just sells ther maps on the XBL to Microsoft and microsoft puts 800MS maybe to refound the maps they bought.

Cause Bungie wants money like every human on this earth! I don't think they care as long as they get their money.

"If you push this button. Someone. Somewhere will die.

BUT.

You will, hey wait! Didn't you wanna hear what you'd get first!"

It was also only four missions at the first guestimate of a price. With the price boost it's gone to six.

Bungie didn't change the price first off they said we want to aim to have this game be $20, this was before it became the length and content of a full game. Second Microsoft are the ones in charge of pricing the game.

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.

when they said it was $40 they had a 4-5 hour campaign.

in a recent interview it was confirmed that that the campaign is now long enough that it compares in length to all the other halo games. due to this fact, and the addition of firefight, it is now $60 as it is now a full game not an expansion

Four missions? It's gonna be a lot longer than that.

He's saying that when it was titled Halo 3: Recon it was going to be only four missions. Now, however, it has gone to six, and a rumored seventh mission.

The campaign was expected to be 4-5 hours originally, but now I think it is estimated somewhere near 7-10 hours. Don't quote me on this, because I am not positive.
