xbox360fanboy.com — Numerous European gaming websites were given Halo 3 beta codes to hand out. These codes were to be distributed by each site, in most cases as part of a promotional contest. It seems, however, that one of these sites saw the codes as an opportunity to make some Euros, and decided to sell them instead.

I wonder if there are any beta keys still available. If so, would anyone be inclined to accept a box of painted rocks and a gently used 70' AMC Gremlin for one?

hmmmm, guess that answers the question on when Bungie is going to be letting my know if i'm in the beta or not.......

So if your hobby was rock climbing for example, and you spent extra on new expensive boots that you didn't really need, but liked, It would be fair to call you pathetic as well I guess?

Actually disabling the accounts would sting the website even worse if the people who bought the codes pushed chargebacks against the site. If a significant number of codes were involved and a good number of people protested in that fashion it would add up quick.

"So if your hobby was rock climbing for example, and you spent extra on new expensive boots that you didn't really need, but liked, It would be fair to call you pathetic as well I guess?"Way to twist the words.No, your comparison is incorrect. Would you pay $5 out of your $100 pair of shoes for a shoelace before you got your shoes?Didn't think so.

Sadly, films of the caliber of Blazing Saddles aren't around anymore (that I'm aware of, anyway).
