I wish a kept a screen cap of a certain member of this community proudly proclaiming on Xbox.com that he would gladly pay $500 for Halo3.

lol, I'm not gonna buy it. I was never into the second Halo and my love for shooters is dwindling. I'm gonna stick with buying stuff I can actually afford (my limit for games is £60)

I bought that Halo2 limited edition (which turned out to be not so limited). The added stuff went to waste.

Perfect dark zero has to have the worst CE ever. You get a card and a see through sleeve in which the game rests. I hate it/

Maybe, but it's not Mike so that only leaves one other fanboy here to say something that stupid.

No, the other one was chosen as biggest fanboy for 2006 by a jury of his peers. That would make Mike a lessor fanboy.

It was $100... I wanted the Red vs. Blue seasons (5 of them) that are about $20 each.

The only thing I wanted thats in the Legendary Edition were the HD cinematics of Halo and Halo 2. But for $130 - no thanks.

I'll just buy the disc off ebay since its on a seperate disc.

Hello Standard Edition. The LE for Halo 2 wasnt that bad, but since I wasnt a big fan of the game itself, I am not spending extra money this time around.

Nope, GHII hits April 3. I got my copy reserved at RedOctane's store. Free shipping, and no tax. $89.99 total.

I have a bigger problem with Microsoft charging $60 for the Halo 3 regular edition... It's a 1st party game.

Come to find out that they didn't lie... I can't find an official announcement.

There is no way I'm going to pay $130 for an extra disc and a helmet that could only fit a doll.

I paid $200 for Steel Battalion but that was worth it because of the controller.

I'll give you $50 for Steel Battalion and the controller :)

I feel the same way about all the pricing of the Halo 3 versions.

Deac, I respect others decisions and opinions. You know that about me (atleast I hope you do lol) but when someone openly admits to not respecting my opinion then I'm going to be a little disappointed in that person.

Awesome posts MIke, the BJ one was great!

So true... Now that would be worth paying $130...oh, and to get the crap they took out of Halo 2 because of time constraints, like the whole ending.

Yes, just like GoW (Epic) & Crackdown (Realtime Worlds). That MS Gamestudios for $49 was proven a lie long ago. Even Viva Pinata (Rare) sold for $59 for a short time. Why wouldn't Bungie also be priced at $59?

Gears of War is a Microsoft licensed game made by a 3rd party, same for Crackdown. Kameo is a 1st party game (RARE is owned by Microsoft) that has always sold for $49.99.

Bungie is owned by Microsoft, and Halo 3 should be $49.99

why was PGR3 49.99???

Sirharper
03-16-2007, 03:23 PM
But you should have known it wouldn't be. People originally understood it as all MS Gamestudios published titles. Once the Epic execption was made people fell back on MS-owned studios only. Now even that was proven untrue. I think the writing was always on the wall for exceptions to be made.

Wait... is this where it all started = Microsoft first-party Xbox 360 games to retail for $49.99?

If so... Microsoft never said such a thing, and they didn't lie.

Yeah, this was all debated when GoW ended up being $59. Nobody could find evidence of MS making that statement (I don't know how hard they looked) but there sure were a huge group of people that thought they did. Either way people were deceived. I'll let you argue the semantics of whether or not it was a lie. I will strongly caution you about jumping to the conclusion that they didn't, that too is unproven. MS is very good at covering things up.

Here is an example of those who were decieved:

I swear they're paying sites to shut up. If the PS3 had a version of a game that sold for more than $100 it'd be *****ed about on every site. :lol:
