Man why can't people understand that doing that is the worst mistake Bungie and Microsoft can make to release its Flagship videogame on the predecesor of its newest game console I mean why do you guys think there are so few 360 games...its because Microsoft is waiting for the PS3 to be released I mean picture it: PS3 launches...but wait thats this games like Halo 3 pop out the same date since most ppl are tired of waiting for the PS3 and have bought 360 they'll buy games for the 360 instead of the PS3 then BOOM more and more money for Bungie and Microsoft its buisnes.
I thought it was because developers are still getting use to and testing the 360s capabilities? Your assumptions as to why gamers buy a 360 and not a PS3 are wrong. And Bungie has never been about making money. If that were the case for Microsoft game studios as well, we would see Halo 3 ship out quicker and tons of more games.

i wanted a 360 before i heard of halo 3 (though we all knew it was comming) i wanted one for oblivion, call of duty, and of course splinter cell 4 (which happens to be my favorite series) now that Halo 3 is comming out it further justifies buying a 360. anyone who buys a PS3 need to have bamboo splinters hammer into their fingernails, have hydrochloric acid injected into their blood stream, shot in both feet and hands then hung. but thats just what i think...

ok, i think this is getting out of hand.

first off, you can't compare halo to cheese, those kinds of metaphors scare young children

second, you guys are currently argueing about a game that is comming out for the 360, and not for the Xbox, in about a year and a half if nothing goes wrong

finaly, some of you seem overly irritated that some people wnat halo 3 for the xbox, who FREAKING cares?!?!?

We all know (even the original xbox'ers) that halo 3 will never be relesed on the original system, so I ask you, why even bother telling us this? Why do you care? At the end of the day you'll have your stikin halo 3, you'll have your fun, but for people that can't afford it, they don't wan't to let go of that dream...


If you know it will never be released, why continue to post in this thread?

But hold on, why should it bother you if someone dosen't wan't to fork over 400$ when they have a perfectly fine system infront of them? Why do you care if they don't mind playing a downgraded version?


It just bothers me because I just know that they're whining now, and if they get a downgraded version, they'll whine when they get it. I can hear it now, "Why no good graphics?" "We want 50-man multiplayer!" Bungie is already hard at work on Halo 3 for the 360, it should not be necessary for them to have to take time to cater to people too stubborn to actually continue on to the next-gen. It never is nor will it likely ever be that a console comes out that its sequel is not necessary to buy for new games.

Developer support is dwindling even with third-parties such as EA, and it is non-existant with developers that are a part of Microsoft. The last Microsoft Games Studio (which includes Bungie, Lionhead, and Rare) for the Xbox 1 was Conker: Live and Reloaded back in June of 2005.

The people who can't afford it (the ones with no jobs) and want it should get off their asses and go work for it. I understand that there are people with jobs who simply can't, but for the people with no job at all, quit whining.

Oh, and Halo aand Pok3mon (de de dee name), I have 4 360 games. Oblivion, Call of Duty 2, Perfect Dark Zero, and Need for Speed Most Wanted. Me, and many other people, are not buying a 360 just because of Halo 3. And to answer your next question, i bought all of my games, except for Call of Duty 2. It was an x-mas gift, with the 360.

No offense to anyone here. We are all Halo fans here :-). But, why on earth would you buy a system for one game? Halo is kick ass, but there are other games out there. You say that you don't want to waste money on a Xbox 360 for Halo 3, but that isn't the only game you should be looking forward to.

Because th xbox is NOT a perfectly good system now. it was when it came out but not anymore. anway if bungie wasted thier time remaking the game for you who don't have a 360, our version would get less time, and therefore, be crappier. anyway the game comes in like a year. im sure you have enough time to save up, and by then the price will have gone down anyway.

GRAW was released on both Xbox and Xbox 360. Alot of people still bought both versions. Am I for or against this for Halo 3? More of the 360 I would say. But for those that think it can store more memory. Not true. If that were the case (shortage of space) I think Halo 3 would best go on the PS3. The blu ray discs carry way more info then the standard dvd discs. But of course Mircosoft owns Bungie so that won't happen. Then again these are all "fact" provided by Sony about their discs.


You know, I'm likely wrong about the disc capacity.

However, the reason why GRAW was on both Xbox and 360 and they were similar in features and such is because Ubisoft planned it as a multi-platform title. However, since, at this point in time at least, Halo 3 is, and probably will be until its semi-inevitable release on the PC, an Xbox 360 exclusive, they're building only with the 360's capabilities in mind.

Therefore, if Halo 3 is made for the Xbox and the 360 chances are the 360 will have many more features as opposed the Xbox causing the people that are currently whining about it not coming to the Xbox to whine about not getting all the same features as the 360 version.

Honestly, I don't see why people expect not having to continue on to the next generation of consoles. Gamers have been doing it since the NES and Sega. People jumped from the Genesis to Saturn for Vitrual Fighter and Sonic. The Sega Genesis only cost consumers $200 while the Saturn cost consumers $400. This jumping of consoles likely will never change as improvements in technology is made.

Developers will likely always want to work on better technology as it can either make their job easier or allow them to do more that they want to.

Yeah, I think MS is gonna sell way more 360s and cut down the price when the PS3 comes out so people would buy the 360 with Halo 3 instead of the PS3.

the thing about it comeing out for the xBox is the issue of it downgrading WAY too much. it would still be cool, cause massive multiplayer would still be possible (black hawk down and Modern Combat have some pretty high numbers for online). it seems the biggest issue is graphics for most of you. i'm sure that anyone who wants halo 3 on the xBox is ready to suffer the consequences of downgraded graphics. i honestly don't care, there aren't enough games for me to havea 360 yet, and ps3 isn't due till later this year, but you guys need to lighten up on those wh want it for the xBox.

  • 05.13.2006 7:19 PM PDT

Guys, please keep this civil, I don't need to see people name-calling especially when there's no point to it. If you disagree with my points, fine, but give me a reason why other than "because I said so." Complaining about the price point for the 360, to me at least, sounds like laziness. Top of the line gaming computers, like ones that could easily play Oblivion on max settings, would easily cost around 5,000 dollars or more.

i find that irritating and comical. good show

i HIGHLY doubt bungie will come out with an xBox version oh H3 seeing as how almost everyone will have a 360 by next year. thats how it works. if someone isn't a halo fan then it won't affect them. i need to go a little off topic and explain how steemed i am about the grand theft auto series switching t o360. i nearly hada hernia when i heard that. I guess this is a similar situation to the H3 xBox discussion. some of you think it would be a travesty, others, well, there FAR more appathetic. anyways, i don't care as long as none of you are jumping on cars and throwing molotovs. that would be a little scary.


no i'm not changing my position, but i thin kyou all should lightew nup just a bit. once again, no molotovs
