I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

This has been a trend for a while now, yet as of late it seems to have become more prevalent. I of course mean the attitude of "Well it's their product, they can do what they want, you get what you get". Why on Earth would anyone want to promote an ideal like that?
Yes, it is VERY prevalent in the video game industry lately. More corners cut, less product shipped, more unfinished products shipped. Why keep going like this? If you bought a TV and it shipped lets say without a few imputs working, less packing material was used, and the manual was basic with the complete one offered online, would you still buy this TV? What is the company promised to eventually fixed the issues at an unset date, because they were so proud of their TV that they just NEEDED to ship it out in this condition. Would you buy this TV?
It's okay, even though it's not finished the TV is still full price. I'm sure that's fine with you though, it's a new company and their first TV, even though it's entirely run by industry veterans. Oh and they offered a higher definition, but then almost at the last minute made every TV the same HD. Those who bought the HD model were not compensated however, but they got a nice box and a complete manual out of the deal!
One last thing, the TV randomly powers off your cable and internet. You can still watch DVDs and stuff, so I'm sure you don't mind.
Halo 4 is this TV. 343i is the TV manufacturer. Why are any of you defending levels of BS like this? If it were any other product the company would fail and be ostracized until they got it together again. Stop defending someone that shipped a half finished product and cut corners. They have no excuses and you shouldn't give them any. So why do you?
tldr; 343i shipped Halo 4 half finished. If someone shipped a half finished TV you wouldn't buy it. Why are you putting up with this?
You make this elaborate comparison but don't state one reason shred of evidence supporting your comparison. Why not?I thought the comparison was for the most part very obvious. The inputs missing refer to features like file browser that over a month into release still do not work. The lack of packing material is more of a dig at the flimsy cases they now use on Xbox games. The same goes for the lack of manual, though Halo 4 is the worst offender, as we don't even get a pamphlet. Rather the "manual" is printed on the inside of the cover.
Unfinished TV is an obvious comparison to the unfinished Halo 4. The company line is obvious as well. The HD TV is the Halo 4 LE which as we all know lost quite a few "exclusives". The nice box is the nice LE box. As for the nice manual, the "journal" given with the LE was just a very nice looking game manual. Very disappointing when compared to the novel length Halsey journal. The random shut of is the comparison to the shoddy servers Halo 4 has over a month into release. Even Happy Wars, a free to play MMO, has more reliable servers.
I really thought these comparisons were obvious, but since enough of you felt the need to mention it I have explained it completely.
