Awesome Update as always Frankie :) omg, I was literally crying with laughter at that Warren Sap, or whatever his name is "time". I just love those crazy japanese shows. I used to never miss an episode of Most Extreme Elimination Challenge; you just can't beat watching people slamming into walls off a rope swing ;)

I cant believe all the people whining. You think its cheap to build a machine that barely anyone understands the full potential of? Yeah lets give it away free after three years of hard work for the people at microsoft. You claim to hate Bungie and Microsoft and they rip you off but your to lazy to do anything in life. Yeah I realize your poor and don't have money and you never get to go to launch days but you know what the beauty of Frankie's job is? He worked for it so hes rewarded. They got off their lazy asses and did somthing to make you happy and you shove it right back at them. If you want to just give away a game system for free that you designed, then do it and I'll take back everything I said. Im not going to though because I know you wont do it. I cant afford a damn High def TV and they charge so much. Why dont they just give it to me so I dont have to work? Please if you have ANYTHING to say back to me please do. I don't wanna be cursed out before you write back so think very hard about what you might say. And um, sorry I got so angry at the lazy people. : )

thats funny I never knew a person who (by their own word) was bad at FPS and helped make one. This is one of my major deciding factors to create a game for the guy who can kick ass at any game no matter how good or bad it is.

How come bungie is only able to go to all those things because i would really like to go and meet some people and get some Red Vs Blue autographs, and it would be very kool to meet every 1 and play some Halo 2.

That's not Warren Sapp the football player, that's Bob Sapp the ex NFL player who is a MMA/K1 fighting superstar in Japan

From the e-mail I got, I was expecting more of the Bungie crew. I wore my Halo 2 t-shirt under my Xbox 360 hoodie. I even brought my Halo 2 metal case (around the metal detector, like a dozen times) and Sharpie for autographs and a Mister Chief sketch. After the launch, I was still expecting Bungie to show up on stage. I finally asked and they told me only Frankie showed, and he left at 3:00. I had missed him entirely, because they never announced he was there.

Frankie, one day I will see you and get a Mister Chief on my metal case.

Microsoft is already bleeding $126 per unit, and PS3 is expected to be $450 in Japan:

I was there frankie, and i didn't see you anywhere. must have been in the special private section...around the gamers. and it wasn't as awesome as you said...which is probably why you barely mentioned it at all...plus when i was there, i was one of the first people to get into the hangar, and i searched the place 3 times and didn't find a halo2 station. lets just say i didn't want to drive another 200 miles to go back on monday.

for all of you who think that $500 per unit is bad, lets do the math:
$4 Biliion (that's billion with a B) invested in research
$126 spent per system
now lets make a math problem to see how long it will take, or how many systems have to be sold in order for Microsoft to make a profit...
i think the equation would be somewhere along the lines of: 500x - 126x >= 4,000,000,000
and it can be simplified to this: 374x >= 4,000,000,000
which means that Microsoft has to sell at least 10,695,188 premium systems just to break even. However, the math is flawed because they will be making profit off of in-house games such as Kameo, Perfect Dark, Project Gotham Racing 3, and anything Halo; as well as replacement controllers, upgrades, memory cards and the such.

and for that zero hour party, all of you people who said you wish you 'could' have gone, there was only 3,000 tix distributed TOTAL. there was a contest on xbox.com for them, alas, i did not get them and sat in my dorm room writing philosophy papers and breaking down matricies.

p.s. i am planning to do a documentary on video games this summer, anyone interested send me a message.

p.p.s. i wrote this entire thing while sitting on the toilet! thank you wireless internet!

good update frankie, can't wait to hear some more coded info on your "uber secret next project"

for the record, I realize that fighting and footbal are not big topics for most you hardcore gamers who post on here but I want people to know that the video is of Bob Sapp (K1 fighter) not Warren Sapp (NFL player). I would hope Warren would not have to stoop so low as to do that kind of video.

Sure the 360 is expensive guys but, it is the highest technological gaming system out there, so it deserves to be expensive! No, I dont have the money either.
