From all the people I've heard from, after seeing scans from the magazine, they want to buy the magazine now when they otherwise wouldn't. It is NOT unfair to Game Informer as Shishka says because the people putting this stuff out is making people want to buy the magazine. Game Informer should be grateful. Thanks to the people who have posted the stuff on the internet, I now want to buy the magazine. I can't wait until the mag comes out!

Anyone else feel I'm right about this matter?...

cheers,
Twisted Chains

I understand not being a rebel. I just don't understand the admin's point.

Whats not to understand?

The game informer has published a magazine with all new pictures and information.

Would you like someone going around scanning it and giving it out to the public if it was your magazine?

They dont want people scanning it they want EVERYONE to buy it.

Doesnt work that way my friend, youwant it you buy it dont be cheap.

I know. Pink is becoming more and more less 'girly' looking everytime I see a SPARTAN in it

Havoc,
I and many other people wouldn't be buyint the magazine if we hadn't seen the cool pics from it. They can have people stop posting the info in here, but they will not stop the posting from other forums and web sites that are Halo 2 crazy from posting this stuff up. I can put myself in their shoes and think a little how they wiuld feel, sure. But if the unsubscribed Halo fans (that's me) do not know there is Halo 2 info in their next issue, they won't know buy it. Now that I've seen the scans, I want to buy it. Having the actual magazine is cooler than scans. And it's just another Halo 2 thing to collect.

BTW, the issue has not hit my local stores yet. And the Game Informer web site says it has 2 days left until hit hits store shelves.

cheers,
Twisted Chains

I doubt the scans are the only way you found out. I found out about it form halo.bungie.org and a couple other sites that had NO SCANS.

Why are people saying I'm cheap?

I'll have you know I have EVERY single Halo action figure! Some I have 2 of so I can place them on my dresser. I bout the Halo Bundle Xbox the day it came out (not to mention I bought my first Xbox at launch). I have around 20 Xbox games and a little less PS2 games. Not to mention all the crap I've bought on my old systems. I subscribe to Official Xbox Magazine and PSM. I have every single OXM magazine. And since I am subscribed to those, I don't plan on subscribing to anything else. Not real soon anyway. And if anyone has been paying attention, I've said I AM buying the new Game Informer as soon as it becomes availiable. BUT, this is ONLY because I've seen scans from out of it on web sites/forums.

So, my message to Game Informer: You can thank the subscriber/scanners of your magazine for my money.

PS: There are suppose to be Exclusive stuff from 2 magazines on Halo 2. We know Game Informer was one of them, and I believe Official Xbox Magazine will be the other magazine with some exclusive stuff.

cheers,
Twisted Chains

OXM has already had an exclusive screenshot. No where near game informers content but it was still good. The pic I'm talking about if you don't know is the snowy multiplayer shot.

Is this issue already out or is it coming tommorow?

-S

I understand the point you are trying to make, Twisted Chains, but you do not represent the majority. The majority will not be buying Game Informer. The reason a magazine gets an exclusive such as Game Informer's 10 page deal on Halo is to help give the consumer incentive to buy the magazine. You cannot argue that removing the exclusivity of a magazine's content helps improve the sales of said magazine.

You said yourself that you own every Halo action figure available. You're a hardcore fan, then. Do you think the 4 million OTHER people that own Halo all share your sentiment? Unfortunately, they don't. In fact, you probably couldn't count a million different individuals in all the Halo forums on the internet. That means that folks like you or me are the minority. You can't then assume that just because you and your friends bought be magazine after seeing it online, that everyone would follow your pattern. That's just like assuming that it's okay to download commercial software if you're going to buy it later. No, it's not.

To put it the most simply, Bungie gave Game Informer this story as an exclusive. Game Informer put this story into their magazine as an effort to draw in purchases. Posting their story in a free format without their permission is a form of literary piracy, and will not be tolerated here.

I HAVE TO AGREE WITH THE MEMBER WHO SAID THAT THE LEAK OF THE PICTURES IS OK. I WORK IN THE FILM INDUSTRY AND I HAVE TO SAY EVEN THOUGH OFFICIALLY COMPANIES AND PRODUCTION AND PR PEOPLE DONT WANT STUFF LEAKED TO ABID BY CONTRACTS AND LAWYERS TRUTHFULLY THEY LOVE THE EXTRA PUBLICITY GAINED BY LEAKS. HOW DO YOU THINK STUFF GETS LEAKED IN THE FIRST PLACE. ALOT OF TIMES ITS ON PURPOSE. OTHER TIMES IT IS NOT. EITHER WAY JUST EXPOSE YOUR NIPPLE AND BOOM YOUR ON THE TONIGHT SHOW.

It's not ok. Don't post links that contain scans of the GI article. End of Story. I'm locking this now.
