Yes, at the store H2v is 19 cents cheaper. I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this. What a terrible joke.

What store did you go to or look at online?

The cheapest I've seen Halo 2 Vista for is $19.95 at the Microsoft Store.
Here: http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Halo-2-for-Windows-PC-Ga me/product/3AAFB459

H2V is available for $19.99 at Best Buy and Newegg.

Best Buy: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Halo+2++Windows/8301811.p?id=1172 881771432&skuId=8301811&st=halo%202%20vista

This was at Fry's Electronics, which is a very large store mostly in California, Oregon, and Washington.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Best Buy also has H2V for $19.99 I believe.

Maybe because of the downfall of Halo 2 Xbox, they think, why not profit on it?

Stores probably buy games on consignment so to speak. Microsoft is probably eating most of the loss here and instructs the stores to drop the price. Just my guess, I don't know.

Play hard and dont cheat!

Halo PC is probably more expensive than H2 Vista since alot of people do not even have Vista in the first place.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

Halo 2 Blister isn't worth one thin dime. It's disgusting it's still being sold and hasn't been recalled.

I don't think that's true. Vista marketshare is over 20% back in 2008. I don't know about it's current marketshare, but I'm sure it went up significantly. I have about 5 Vista PC's and laptops and my school completely uses Vista as well although there's talk about upgrading to Windows 7. Either way, Vista is more popular than you think. There's a reason why new Games For Windows Games continue to be mainly Vista and Windows 7 exclusive.

Windows XP is dead. You shouldn't linger on that obsolete system anymore. Either upgrade to Vista or 7.

I don't think Microsoft has totally abandoned support for Windows XP.

XP is still a way better made operating system than Vista.

Also Windows 7 is signifcantly better than Windows Vista. Why else would Microsoft release Windows 7 a little less than two years later? It's simply because Windows Vista was not a good operating system. Microsoft had to release an operating system that was of better quality. I believe Microsoft did.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

They released 7 due to bad PR (apple ads), and businesses sticking with XP. Heck, they are still sticking with XP even though 7 is out.

Even though XP will not be supported in 2014, people will stick with it. After all, there are people still using Windows 9x, Mac System 7/OS8/9, and IE6.

BROTHERS!Strike for the Chapter, and the Inquisition!

My dad still uses 2000 on all of his laptops and PCs.

Right...

Upgrading to 7 from XP is great, but you seem to have no idea when you even put "Vista" and "upgrade" in the same sentence. If we were talking about an upgrade from Windows 98, I might agree with you (just maybe).

XP is the most stable Windows OS there is that can be used in general, these days. Vista is an absolute joke... security, compatibility, speed, resource consumption... all atrocious. The general public were all attracted to it simply because it was new and looked nice.

Guess what? Nine years later, Microsoft still supports XP. They were planning to stop supporting it sometime after the release of Vista, but many businesses, governments, schools, end-users, etc. switched back, for the reasons above.

I don't think MS made it intentional to distribute Vista in it's now-"finished" state, but it does seem like an unfinished project. They made up for it with 7, which looks good, and performs about the same as XP. It's a little less stable than XP, but I like its neat features and looks.

Is it a public or private school? I'm assuming you live in the US? Just a huge surprise to me that whoever is in charge would make such a foolish decision...

And that would be my longest ever post, I think. =P

[/rant]

OT: That is pretty amusing, I have yet to install H2V, anyway, can't be that bad, lol.

EDIT: Oops, didn't read anything after Heed's post, too much rage, had a bad day, lol. Basically what Armageddonmatt said. JacobGRocks: 50/50 for your response. Nearly.

Wow! Nice find! I don't know if you guys noticed... but they're also used versions of the game... which start at $94.45!!! That's nuts!!!

Most of them are around a hundred, but one guy is really trying his luck:

$350.00 + $3.99shipping
Used - Like New
factory sealed CD and manual with CODE in open-box (box also ripped)

^What is this I don't even.^

It is probably just much harder to find Halo for the Mac. I would only get it if I wanted to add it to my collection.
