Well, I've got a confirmation email, it's listed as shipping soon, and my card has been charged.

Look's like this one is in the bag.[/terriblejoke]


You have no idea how much that statment angered me.

Not at you, really, just in general. I'd edit the pun out though, not everybody else will be polite like this.


So the people who got one can't be happy?
Makes sense.

Admittedly it was blind luck that I got one at all being that I got one from someone trying to order multiples, but still. If I didn't get one I would go around telling those who did get one to stop being happy about it.


No, they have a right to be happy.

I'm just stating that many people who didn't get one won't be as polite as I am when responding to a joke about a very sore topic that just occured seconds ago.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I love Yvonne
And so should you

I can understand why people are annoyed at the situation but to turn your back on Bungie is pathetic.

It's not their fault that the Amazon page went down. It was your fault for constantly F5'ing and using auto refresh.

They had to get the swag bags out, people had been waiting 2 hours as Bungie said it would be around 10:00am so they had to bring up the other page.

If Bungie had tweeted about the change, the same thing would of happned to that page and we'd have to wait even longer.

Not everyone was going to get a swag bag and to me, it seems like people are using this incident to convince themselves they would of got one if Bungie had kept the same page.

People really shouldn't be buying more than 1 though. I kind of hope all those orders of more than one will be cancelled. Feels unfair for everyone else, although in the first batch they all got through as well... so probably not. Still not sure if mine went through..


Well I think it would be fair if they took the multiples off the order and gave the person one. Cancelling all of them is terrible.

Oh, and to all the kids talking about buying and such as competition:

Don't know too many sports where the rules and/or location of the game get changed on a whim, esp. without really telling the players.

They *should*, i haven't seen anyone report losing any, but then again they probably either A) havent cared to post B) figured it would happen anyways C) got away with more than one.

I'm fed up, and cannot be bothered any more. A bunch of no-lifes managed to get the bags earlier after F5ing all day long, both on the first day of release, and today. Meanwhile, people like me have had our lives to get on with, namely in the form of jobs or feeding our families, as the sale time is late in the evening for us in the UK. Many of these tards aren't even true fans of Bungie, and have only been around since Halo 3 or even Reach. These people in particular piss me off. I've been a fan of Bungie since at least 2001, when I first played a Marathon game at the ripe age of 8. Ten years down the line, all I have to show for my fandom is a silly blue bar on their site, while people who have only just been introduced to Bungie are sitting there with their swag bags, claiming to be huge fans.

Yes, I am irritated that I didn't get a bag. No, it's not the end of the world. I'll probably just get a Burn Bright, Burn Blue shirt. But my point still stands. Anyone who has only been here since Halo 3 or later and bought a Swag Bag: you disgust me.


You know at least 80% of the people on here are under 20 and are on summer break now? That doesn't make us no lives. You really need to grow up, just because you have been playing Bungie games since you were 8 does not entitle you to a bag.

Personally I discovered Halo CE, then I really got into Halo with Halo 3 and now I play all the games so all I have to say to you is: You disgust me by thinking your superior to everyone else who hasn't played as long as you.
Someone with his dedication does deserve the bag. I know exactly how he feels. In other collecting communities I'm involved in things like this happen all the time where new people get things that should be, in effect, seeded to worthy veterans. If someone just found Halo at Reach and got a bag, they can go blam themselves.

Without a tweet or any notice... -blam!- you Bungie. Terrible way to handle it.

Literally just cried a bucket or two, I don't care what anyone says. I've been waiting all week then they pull this bull-blam!-.


That's what upsets me. I got on at 1EST, checked the page, saw the tweet about crashing so I kept checking back the page and twitter every 10 or so minutes. Final wandered over to the forums and was too late. That's just weak

But he has no right to say all those people disgust him and put himself on a higher pedestal because he has a job and has played for so much longer

I'm aware that most people here are under 20 and on break. I'm ALSO under 20 and on summer break, but I have a thing called a job, which means I can't sit and F5 all day long. As with last time the bags were stocked, I missed out because I was cooking dinner for myself and my brother while my parents are away.

I am not trying to make it out that I am superior to anyone, but I am pointing out that I have been a fan for far longer than most of the people here, and I feel that it is plain wrong that people like me, and people who have been fans for longer than me, are missing out because of post-Halo-3-era 'fans'. I'm not entitled to a bag, no, but I can tell you I'd appreciate the contents of the bag a -blam!-load more than any of the Halo-3-era 'fans'. I disgust you? Sure buddy. Keep telling yourself that you're more disgusted at me and not the F5ers living in their basements. I totally believe you.

Yes, it is a competition but still the 2 companies asked you to stop f5ing them...if you kept going noone would have anything.
Barely anyone stopped. They solved the solution (moving the link), but did so retardedly (used a suspicious and un-notable name without any warning at all).

You think Bungie owes you something? You're not entitled to anything in this world.
Here's where I learned that you're a little kid. You heard this somewhere and repeated it in the wrong context. Where did I say or imply this?


I'm the little kid? You're the one acting like you're entitled to a bag o'swag. I'm the one trying to say we all had equal parts and you're saying that it was all Bungie.

Grow up.

LOL?

Again, where did I imply or even say I felt entitled to it?

I hope you're a little kid.


I was implying. Just like YOU'RE implying I'm a little kid. Because sweetheart I can do this all day ;] I think someones mad that they didn't get a bag or did you and you wanna carry this on?

Yes he does. I respect his dedication and if I were in his place, I'd put myself higher than those new to bungie as well.

Exactly. If I lost it cause I didn't F5 enough I can understand that. But losing it because it was moved to a different page is kinda ridiculous.

"I am Caboose, the vehicle destroyer!"

Well, here's my take on it

Idea behind changing the page for the bag: Genius. Too many people (myself included) were F5'ing the hell out of the original one. They would have never been able to get it up in a timely manner.

Execution behind changing pages: Terrible. Not only was the item listed as being sold by someone other than Bungie, nobody was properly notified through Twitter, Facebook, etc... By the time everyone figured out the bags were legit, and the actual Bungie Store page updated with the new item they were gone (save for the ones being restocked due to canceled orders). Could have been handled a little better imo

This is an outrage! It's like I'm not even living in America anymore! It's like I woke up in communist Russia!"

Love how at 2:30 pm Eastern Time, I saw the Gorilla bag of swag, tried to buy it, and it was sold out... Tried till 3, nothing.

then spits of people have been getting through to buy a bag, yet people that tried before were left with nothing..


I feel like they should have made a wait-list or something for people that were trying before hand...

Nintendo's ordeal with the Legend of Zelda Soundtrack did just that... Put you on the list and you hope for the best...

I managed to get one with sheer blind luck. This seems to be the norm for people, based on what I've been reading. I'm grateful that I was able to snag one, but really, it seems that blind luck got people a bag more than anything else.

Oh well, you win some and you lose some, I guess. I've never won a Bungie contest or anything like that before, so it's kind of a treat for me to be able to get one of these, and in many ways, this was sort of like a contest, I guess.
