Oh yeah, and a multiplayer beta invite for Halo Reach.

Everyone gets that - and there is no beta until next year. You could walk to Redmond to get your copy before the beta is released.

You really never have to preorder games anymore. Maybe back in 1999, but not in 2009. Games are always in stock.

1. Zune is garbage

3. iPod Touch is an amazing iPod, has some decent games, and has an amazing browser
4. Why in the world do people even think that an iPod touch would only have 2GB?

15 hour story.

Are you implying that this a long campaign? Anything under twenty is really short.

Here ya go buddy. Wrong again.

Oh no! Someone cited wikipedia for the "definition" of an expansion pack; however, if you chose to use such a legitimate source of information for informal terms, I will use a quote from the same wikipedia entry.

"The price of an expansion pack is usually much less than that of the original game."

Enjoy spending/wasting your money on a video game. I have no problem with the Halo franchise, Bungie, or Microsoft and I understand how you are successful in the entertainment software industry. Still, that does not hide the fact that Microsoft is breaking the traditional norms for its entertainment software tactics.

It is an expansion. That's why it is Halo 3: ODST.

It is not an expansion pack because you do not need to own the first game to play it.

I think this is really intriguing. My primary question is whether the end game is "capped" for the free players. I do not want to dedicate hours to this only to find out that I cannot play further without paying. I can live with not having the best items or access to everything but I don't want to hit a hard cap.

in some shops i still see GTA 4 for $100 (AUD) and its been out for ages

I have no idea what new games usually sell for in Australia but that is expensive by any of our US standards. For example, a brand new game would cost you less than $70 AUD.

I can buy GTA IV for under $30 USD on Amazon, if I really tried I could get it for $20. Personally, I am waiting for them to bundle all of the DLC together and sell it as a special version for $30.

Very unprofessional. Lots of grammar mistakes and the reviews are worthless.

For example, the Halo 3 review merely calls the graphics "nice." That really helps. No one will ever visit your site over the likes if IGN, Gamespot, Joystiq, etc.

I very, very, very rarely will buy a game that is priced at over $40 and I have not rented in years. $20 is the sweet spot for me but I am willing to pay $30 for AAA titles. All you have to do is wait and the prices drop on every premier game.

I've kept track of the people posting in here asking for their accounts deleted to their replies of "PM Wade/Tom" and not one of those eleven have been deleted after months.

Again, a stolen submission is NOT going to go undetected for five years. Besides the fact that it is kind of sad that you keep track of other random users, you have no idea of how many users quietly PM Tom with a good reason then have their accounts deleted. The only ones who post on the BBS are going to be the ones who did not have a good reason and FAILED in their PMs.

However, I really don't care about this guy's account or submissions so I am done with this topic.

It was stolen, the author's account was deleted and all of their submissions were sent to the obits.

Again, it is highly unlikely that the account was stolen. Users can and do request to their accounts deleted with regularity.

Given the fact that the movie was five years old, it is much more likely that the author deleted his/her account than it was discovered that the movie was stolen.

Does that mean people have to quit playing what they like and follow your opinions? I really don't want to play another "real FPS." They're all the same and have no replay value whatsoever.

I really don't care what people play or don't play. All I wanted to know was if these "hats" did anything.

Wrong. The warranty only covers the three red rings. If you are lucky, the tech who you call will allow you to send it back and have it repaired free of charge; however, the three year warranty does not applyto E74.
