You are 100% wrong. Flat out, no debate, you. are. wrong. The extra $40 covers the three map packs and then some. Again, you are getting bent out of shape over the fact that there was an error, and a minuscule number of players got the DLC for free. That is not 343i/MS not living up to their end of the bargain, because there was none. 343i is not at fault for MS's F-up. And, again, you didn't get the maps for FREE, you already pre-paid for it. It's not rocket science. You didn't pay $40 to get something for free. SMH.
You should continue to shake your head, as you don't seem to grasp what i'm talking about. 1st of all, i'm not getting bent out of shape, i'm pointing out a mistake by MS/343i. If you want to pull the fanboy card and defend them in their mistake, thats on you. If they advertise content included in your purchase of a LE, and then give that away under any circumstance, it lessens the value of that LE purchase price. If you don't understand that, you need to remove yourself from this discussion.
Official communication from 343i is official. Simple as that. The information was made public and anyone with a search bar can access it. What? Would you purchase a car based only on the sticker in the window? No, you're going to read up and make the most informed decision possible. What is advertised on a box is a cliffnotes version of what to expect. How many people do you know buy a game based off the box advertisement? Probably not many, they read up beforehand. Case in point.
You're gonna tell me how wrong I am and then throw that up? Companies get sued for not fulfulling what is advertised, the packaging on the product is the end all. It doesn't matter if a company sent out pamphlets to every consumer on the planet, if any trackable % didn't recieve them, what you have on your package (what the end user sees) is the final advertisement. Your car analogy is beyond flawed, talk about apples and oranges. Most gamers are not forum rats, they buy games that look entertaining. MS/343i made no announcement to the general public that I am aware of, if they did, please show me. Their forum does not reach the general public, nor does IGN or any other game media site.
That's fine, but again, as it is an opinion, you've broken down your argument to complaining about a box. The game still comes in the aluminum case. If you don't like it that's fine. I still can't see how this is a selling point.
Generally speaking, one of the draws for LE is the fan service, if you fail to see how the quality of the fan service is a selling point then that may explain your confusion. If it's something you just don't care about, then thats all fine, but for something that pushes towards fans and collectors, quality is key.
You have not demonstrated at all how it was "poorly" handled, produced. You're taking a subjective interpretation, with little to no objective sources, and judging the company because you're not happy.
Pointing out mistakes and poor handling is "juding the company"? You're adorable, and it is quite clear that out of the two of us, you are the one getting worked up. What's to demonstrate? They gave back portions of the exclusive content that was a huge selling point for the LE, the specializtions. Yes this was known, to certain circles, but it was still a poor move on MS/343i part. The "glitch" that allowed the free sale of the Crimson pack is a mistake on their part, once again it devalues the LE as that was a no-charge exclusive (yes, I understand it is tied into the purchase price), implying everyone else had to pay for it.
I understand feeling frustrated, but there is NOTHING repeat, nothing, that 343i promised and didn't back up. Again, this thread is centered around the glitch that allowed people to get the Crimson DLC for free, and thusly, the basis of your argument. It being free for a small window of time, for a small amount of people is not 343i/MS failing to live up to their end of the deal. It's not. Run the perfect business and get back to me on how easy it is.
Once again, i'm not raging about this, i'm not demanding that MS/343i burn or give me free stuff. If you would have cared to read, I have simply pointed out that MS/343i have made mistakes surrounding their content rollout for the LE edition. If you want to choose to ignore that then knock yourself out, but please stop acting like a consumer has no right to point out valid issues, and please stop acting like someone is flipping their lid when their not.
