what is wrong with the original xbox live headset? yea u guys are gonna be like "but it says halo on it so its awesome and its green" and all that bs. well i heard its gonna come with the game, so thats ok

i hope this is a microsoft thing just trying to make more money (if it does cost something) and not a bungie thing because bungie rules because they love their fans and they wont try to rip us off

First of all, it's a special edition headset, *cough*marketing*cough* and I believe it is a higher quality headset.

1. Bungie loves their fans because their fans pay them well to develop and play games all day.
2. You live in America, right? Of course it's marketing! Why else do people rent/buy new cars, etc. every year? If it says "halo 2" on it people will buy it...just because.
3. Bill Gates, God bless him, has built a marketing empire and is a genius at building and sellling great product. So is Bungie. It doesn't mean it won't cost you.

It's called "merchandising." You may as well ask "Why are there Halo 2 t-shirts?"

new xbox designs? any pictures anyone?

anyway, i dont think im gona get a head set too, cause just think, its the price of the game basicly...not that im cheap or anything but spending £100 on a game and headset, along with the monthly cost of broadband and the xbox live starter kit im get soon, is all gona add up...and there other games coming out i want to spend money on (cough *half life 2* cough) so im gona be happey with my LE copy of halo2 and not be bothered about having the headset. but if the one you get in the starter kit breaks, il go full steam ahead and buy a brand spanking new set :P

These mods must be sick and tired of reading posts, becasue I've never dectected a hint more arrogance in all my life.

"Why not have Halo Toliet Paper or Space Balls the Lunchbox"

Anyhting that the Halo Logo will fit on and can be marketed you can bet your asses its going to be sold

Anyways, if your into Special Edition its all you. If you need a new headset go to your local computer store and buy a 3.5 mm socket headset. You'll get more bang for your buck, and even better quality than the microsoft one.

And to the mods, "dont get so butt hurt, you guys dont have it all that bad"
