ROFL, I loled and rofled at the same time at the fact you don't get the game

 

[3ssence]

Ah, could you milk everything more Microsoft ?

xD

It looks pretty cool though. I love the circuitboard patterns all over it. Too bad it's such a horrible shit-green colour.

 

[Icarusintel]

I guess this is cool for the rabid Halo 3 fanboys. But I think it's pretty stupid. The Halo 3 Zune was bad enough.


EDIT: Having said that, if they made a Halo 3 vibrator in the shape of MC I'd buy one as a gag gift for a girl.

Looks ugly as f**k. I don't get why Halo is so hyped... it's not even that good.

 

[CptStern]

personally I'm holding out for the Deluxe Mass Effect xbox360 for the new low price of $19.99 (may not be actual price) and $59.99 for the game ..cuz it's not included

When it breaks down it emits sticky grenades upon the most recent player and explodes gloriously.

Here's Peter Moore introducing the Halo console at the keynote.
The crowds reaction is ... a little underwelming.

Yeah, they have thought of about every single way to squeeze even more precious pennies from gamers. Its a shame that people acutally buy into this crap because it just validates the behavior and makes it worse in the longrun. :frown:

so potentially a halo completist/fan boy can spend over $800 on a single game

xbox360 halo3 version: $499 (estimate)
Halo3 Ultimate edition: $149.99
Halo3 Collectors Edition $79.99
Halo3 standard edition $69.99


you could buy a decent pc for that price

you could buy a decent pc for that price

Or a sweet HDTV to hook up to your PC....

I love the color green, but that's just ****ing ugly.

 

[dream431ca]

Wow. Only the fanboys will want this one.
