This is just ridiculous! Does Microsoft actually think we will buy some of this crap? I'm just curious to see if anyone likes any of this stuff. It's overpriced, it should a few MS points (less than 100) if anything at all. However, I'm not going to pay 3 dollars (240 MS points) to get a backround somewhere that I hardly ever look in the first place! There better be some free stuff to make up for it. This costs as more than the Heroic Map pack! Would I rather get 3 new Halo 3 maps, or a backround? Which would you choose? Duh, you would choose the maps! And we can rate ODST even though it isn't out.

J-H

The strange thing is that Microsoft is a business: They do actually want our money and they know people will buy it.

and how!

Themes have always cost similar amounts. Stop whining and either buy the theme or don't.

Hey guess what!? I play CoD more than Halo, but I'm not an annoying fanboy. I love CoD more, but I like how involved the Halo Community is...

I'm take the background becuz I can afford it and I don't -blam!- over some little marketplace prices.

No, but there is a theme, which was the entire purpose of this thread. And that backround for my dashboard costs more than the Heroic Map Pack and Cold Storage COMBINED!

I'll hold the rope..... and the camera. 'Cause I'm a multitasker like that.

As agile as a cougar on a young man.

Ok, if you say so boss!

I sort of get where he's comming from. I thought the theme would be all dark and rainy like the picture (that's what I wanted), but it's all destruction and fire.

Yes. I want to see if the results are similar to that. So far, not really. It seems people find Themes useful, and avatar clothes as useless. It's odd, if you think about it. People are fine to pay for a backround to their dashboard, but not for clothes on their avatar. We look at our avatar as much as we look at our theme.

ODST Theme is pretty cool, Avatar Clothes are pretty pricey but a good option if you really want to customize your character.

Also, think about something. They don't force you to buy clothes and themes. They give you some of those for free, as well as massive updates, demos, etc. So Microsoft gives us TONS of free stuff, the rest usually being cheap. They're a business, they need to make money. Making it optional to pay for anything besides games and the console means they really care about their customers.

They might charge a large amount for various things, but if they lowered the prices they'd have to slap a price on just about everything. Which would you rather have, a fairly large price for optional customization or a fairly low price on required things?

"Welcome to the Greatest Show Unearthed"

No one forces you to buy themes. If you don't like it, don't buy it. What's with people jumping on the "I'm going to rant about not paying for something" bandwagon?

He'd have instantly stopped and knelt down, one fist on the ground, hoping to be impervious to the officer's attacks. When this would have failed and he's in the back of the police car, he'd blame his predicament on his friends for not being team players.

Oh and why did you just make a spin-off of the avatar thread? Usually this kind of stuff only happens in "Teh Floodz"

Signatures are for squares.

"HAY GAIS, I DUN LIEK THIZ FETUR SOZ IMA COMPLAN BOUT IT. K?"

God forbid you spend THREE DOLLARS. And stop throwing the heroic mappack around, I actually paid 800 points for it, so NO, it does not cost more than the heroic mappack.

Oh how some forget.

I've paid for the theme, happy I did. Like it almost as much as the Halo 3 Splatter Spree theme I've paid for.

-I know what you're thinking, and it's crazy.
-But... what if monkeys really could fly?

If you don't like it no one is forcing you to buy it.

Also, a few of us were talking during matchmaking and Halo: Reach is definitely going to be, not a first person shooter, not a third person shooter, but a second person shooter. Bungie is going to revolutionize the way you watch other people play games.

Everyone whoops and hollers about spending three dollars. Do you people really just throw away money on pointless stuff just because it doesn't cost a lot by itself?

Of course we can all AFFORD three dollars. Not wanting to spend that three dollars on pointless crap is a good idea, because that stuff adds up. It's the same reason (intelligent) people don't go out to eat every night. Doesn't cost a lot, but buy a few avatar items, themes, etc and you're actually looking at a decent chunk of change.

  • 08.15.2009 3:41 AM PDT

If you want it, get it.
If you don't want it, then don't get it.

Simple, right?
