why? It's the most famous game for the Xbox and it's not a PH!?! what's wrong with this?

I think it's because a game only goes platinum when it starts losing sales. (Don't quote me on that though) But Halo at the moment is not stopping, so it will be a while before it is ever a Plantinum hit.

Because they can still get money for it. If you knew you could get $30 bucks for something, would you drop it to $20 if it was still steadily selling?

Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I hope Halo never goes platinum.

To me when a game goes platinum it's like MS is saying, "It's not that great anymore, let's slap platinum hits on it and lower the price." Maybe it's just me , but that seems kinda degrading to a game. Halo desrves more

halo has surpassed the platinum hits cut off point. One reason it has yet to go platinum is that they just slapped a game of the year sticker on it, twice. (ya'll have noticed the two different game of the year boxes right? shiny and non-shiny) But I think if a game of year sticker gets put on, it kinda gets excluded from platinum. I work at Game Crazy and have yet to see a game of the year go platinum hits.

i reckon theyll make it a platinum hit when halo 2 comes out, thats wut they did with the GTA's for PS2 and it seems itd be the best marketing strategy cuz why mark down the price now if its still one of yur best selling games?

Well, I am a good fan of Dead or Alive 3, and that game went platinum, but I feel with the rest of you, that Halo should not and will not go platinum.

Maybe it should get a "Best game ever" on the case instead of Platinum Hit and should come with your own personal flaming ninja.

Halo should never become a platnium hit, to even COMPARE It to those crappy games that are platnium hits like FINding Nemo is just -blam!-. Halo is too far beyond to even be called a platnium hit, it should be like an "Elite Game " series or something.

AHA Blaise Morrowind was a Game of the YEAR, so they DO go Platinum.. And whoever said one scratch messes up a PH Game -- here's an idea... DON'T SCRATCH THEM -- There is only ONE reason for a scratched game EVER=

It's not being taken care of properly.

Halo shouldn't go plat. I just bought halo for myself to have because I borrowed my friends copy for like a year and I play at his house. It costed me 24.99! I could't go to the I HOP after that so I walked around gamestop and target for awhile. It kinda benefited for the best when I got this girls number in target so thank you halo!
