When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.
I think you have no idea what it takes to actually render a video.
They probably have a server running 24 hours a day accepting requests for rendering, and then they probably have a farm of 50-100 XDK (XBOX Development Kits) 24/7 running the videos and capturing it on a modified version of whichever Halo. Then it is taking the video, and uploading it onto the Bnet servers and which allows you to watch it 24/7. That's a lot of money in investment (XDK's are about $1,000 each if I remember correctly) not to mention that's a lot of money in electricity every month.
They are not YouTube either, they don't get money advertising videos. All the money comes from the person who wants the video.
I think if anything, the price is too low. If you want, you can buy a $200 capture card if you have a high-end powered PC.
Edit: Oh yeah, they aren't Microsoft anymore. All of it is run by Bungie.
