I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I was looking in the Bungie store to see how expensive the Halo: Reach Console is (pretty expensive) and I noticed that they were selling Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary and Halo 4. So, is Bungie still associated with Microsoft, 343 Industries, and/or Halo?

Bungie Store is powered by Amazon so it'll sometimes display related items. Any items not sold by Bungie will not be purchasable through the Bungie Store, however.

So no, they are not.

So Bungie can still make money off of Halo since their store is associated with Amazon? If so, Bungie is pretty smart.

Whoo.

Well, assuming their next game is multiplatorm and most probably would be on the xbox, then yes in the sense that microsoft is allowing Bungie to develope a game for their console.

But I don't think the affliation extends much further than that.

Think you misinterpreted what he was saying. A glitch in the Bungie stores allows related material to appear. Bungie doesn't make a profit of those items, and they can't be bought through the store, either.

The Bungie Store is powered through Amazon.com. So if you see the Gold Membership/Microsoft Point cards on there, it's Amazon not Bungie.
