Actually, the people that downloaded it for free shouldn't be allowed to play it. They knew they were taking advantage of a glitch in the system.

They should have their asses banned!

MS bans someone every time they steal from the store, but this time they don't?

The -blam!-.


It was Microsoft's -blam!- up, they mispriced something. No one hacked or exploited anything, many people, probably had no idea there was even a glitch(plenty of gamers don't use forums and the like). Plus, if I'm not mistaken, Microsoft said something about legally, having to honor the sale because they set the price(even though it was the wrong price).

Well not really, it just so happened an unplanned exploit happened. Interpretation of wording would e up to civil court. But I see your
Point, backs out of thread. I wasn't assuming just had an opinion. Like you or anyone else does. We really can't talk about this further because it steps into civil law which is completely decided by judge case to case.

Yeah, i hope this doesn't happen again with any future map packs (and that they're better, too these ones kind of sucked)

The maps weren't up to the detail I thought they would be. One is similar to a reach dlc map another a halo 2 map.

From what I've heard, Harvest is okay. Big, but okay. Shatter is cluttered but a decent layout, and Wreckage looks like a Vortex and Boneyard on dope.

Wouldn't expect much.

Agreed, kinda does suck for LE owners. Glad I'm cheap and never by limited edition games XD

If only there was someone as egotistical and funny as my clone.


oh wait.

If it said free on the market place, then it's free. That's the price they set it at. If you think you got screwed out of your money because other people got it at a low price; well tough -blam!-.

Like Microsoft said, if you managed to get it while it's free then it's yours. There was no fraud or cheating the system at all. And it can't be considered a "glitch" because that's the price it was set at. A "glitch" would be buying the game' and then the game can't download. They gave the consumer a product at a certain price, they must uphold it or risk fraud themselves.

It's not hard to understand people.

However we were promised a deal to save on these map packs given your
Logic you would be upset too.[/quote]And yet, i'm not upset at all.

Please, show me where on the LE it says i'm saving money this way, or that nobody else would get a better deal, or that the DLC would never be free.[/quote] Actually I'm talking about the separate season pass not the limited edition.[/quote]As far as i'm aware, that doesnt say anything about the DLC never going free or about saving money. Doesn't it just say "Get all three DLCs paid for at once"?

It's just a risk that comes with putting clearly non-refundable money down on something ahead of time. Yeah, you might miss out on a deal. That's a risk. [/quote] I'm not sure if you were aware but a special value means at a cheaper price, see quote above.
Special Value.

No, it does not mean cheaper price. By definition, the season pass's 'special value' means that the 'monetary worth' will be 'different from what is ordinary or usual.' You certainly paid a different price than the usual. You weren't lied to in any way shape or form.

And before anyone acuses me of twisting the meanings of the words, feel free to mix and match the various definitions and see if you can come up with any that literally say "cheaper price" or anything to that effect.
Given that definition I am now paying more buying the map pass then I would have been dishing out 1600 and getting this one for free. Hence false advertisement.

Aren't you always whining about how awful Halo 4 is. Yet, you're buying the maps. You're part of the problem.

Actually if you buy something on their store and have xbox live, they make you choose whether you accept their terms and use.... in which it clearly states somewhere "NO REFUNDS"

Guide to immortality : Sleep with Life

I had a pretty big time thread once.

Here's me bragging about it.

It is what it is. I've got ripped several times by deals in the marketplace. It's just how it goes. I understand why those who bought the pass are upset, but you're just gonna have to accept it.

People are already getting reimbursed by chatting with the support people, i'm laughing right now.
