- lacronicus, on 11/05/2007, -13/+371OH SNAP!
Hollywood just got told. - puto, on 10/24/2007, -3/+285Agreed about the ***** movies now a days.
- jedi924, on 11/05/2007, -15/+176"Microsoft executives blamed higher ticket prices and a "lack of originality" for record sales of Halo 3. "
Wow, at first I thought they were talking about Halo 3 itself.
Just kidding, I like Halo 3, I'm just bitter that my 360 died while I was playing it. - ricodued, on 10/24/2007, -1/+97You're bitter? I got the red rings of death the DAY BEFORE RELEASE.
I was so unbelievably pissed :P - john2kx, on 10/24/2007, -3/+80Well-done.. For those not up-to-date, this is a parody of what happened a little while ago, when the movie industry blamed Halo 3 for poor ticket sales...
- sselbor, on 10/23/2007, -0/+58I'm here for you if you need to talk.
- Bahimiron, on 11/08/2007, -10/+63Headline: Unfunny Joke Site So Unfunny Everyone Thinks It's Serious.
- topace3000, on 10/24/2007, -1/+54Dugg for 2/3 of diggers not realizing it's satire.
- xRand0mx, on 10/24/2007, -0/+49And yet they blame it on piracy.
- atbnet, on 10/27/2007, -2/+44Becareful, the MPAA might sue you Microsoft. Then again maybe MS can do some good and kill the MPAA.
Doh, BBspot didn't read the article yet. - LuCiFer6, on 10/24/2007, -2/+41Yeah I was believing this story until I saw the below in the related news section.
Bungie Announces Halo 3: Fraternity Edition
Bungie Dumps AI for Cheap Human Intelligence in Halo 3
Sony to Bundle Wii with Playstation 3 to Increase Sales - gravis86, on 10/29/2007, -2/+36I feel your pain, dude. I got the RRoD 4 days ago. I've been going through withdrawl ever since.
- kingfoot, on 10/23/2007, -8/+36wow. for once, i whole heartedly agree with a microsoft statement...
*ducks* - InspectorGadget, on 10/24/2007, -1/+28The best satire is the type that you believe might be true until you see it comes from a satire site. Maybe there's no link between Halo 3 and ***** movies, but Hollywood has been pumping out some real crap for the past few years. Also, Halo 3 is entertaining enough to stand on its own: no excuses needed.
- ricodued, on 10/24/2007, -3/+30Story only lasts a few hours? Sounds perfect for a movie!
- cnot3, on 10/24/2007, -0/+25That would almost make up for windows ME.
- arcticblue, on 10/24/2007, -3/+27Your computer also doesn't play Halo 3
- breathofwater, on 10/24/2007, -0/+23huh?
- MaynardJK, on 10/24/2007, -1/+24He h4x them by taping the holes in the back shut so dust bunnies won't get in there.
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -1/+22Except for the fact that it came from BBspot, not microsoft.
- CJUNIT, on 10/24/2007, -3/+24How about making a movie worth a damn of me getting out of my usual routine of not seeing any movies...
- LowROI, on 10/24/2007, -0/+17Hollywood started it. The whole article was satire in response to the film industry's blaming halo 3 and the likes as the reason that the "blockbuster" garbage that has been out lately has been doing so poorly at the box office.
http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_conte ... - kidcodea, on 10/23/2007, -1/+17or stab. you never know
- VitriolAndAngst, on 10/23/2007, -1/+17In my day, we only had "Tootsie" and "A star is Born" and the feeble "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" and they all sucked -- but we pretended to like them harder because there was nothing else.
- Checkerd, on 10/23/2007, -0/+16RTFA
- spudnic, on 11/08/2007, -0/+15Digg needs a 'This is satire, moron' category.
- KevinRoseMustDy, on 10/24/2007, -2/+17Oh yes he did!
- inactive, on 10/24/2007, -1/+15Hah, you actually thought the article was real. YOU FAIL.
- belteshazzar, on 10/24/2007, -1/+14try 90% ... fools
- 30thElement, on 10/24/2007, -0/+12That would make me buy Vista, if just to give back to them.
- Arkavus, on 10/23/2007, -5/+17What? Halo has an IMMENSE story. To say otherwise is quite ignorant. I'm not saying it would make a good movie however, there hasn't been a video game yet thats got potential to be a good movie in my opinion. And people play Halo for many reasons, a good deal of which play it for the story. Just because YOU play it only for the multiplayer does not mean everyone does.
- phxmango, on 10/24/2007, -0/+11I love this. Don't say Halo 3 is cutting into the Movie business Tell the Truth, it's the CRAPPY Movies for it.. Which is true. Now we need to let the RIAA know it's not pirates to blame but the Crappy Music...
- belteshazzar, on 10/24/2007, -1/+11does anyone actually read the articles?
- RxDaniel, on 10/23/2007, -0/+10And that was the day that all of digg found out that evnglion couldn't read.
- theradical, on 10/24/2007, -1/+11Am I crazy, or are Microsoft getting a lot cooler?
- Jholder112233, on 10/23/2007, -1/+10Didn't you see the news? The movie got canceled.
- Gizza, on 10/23/2007, -0/+9The red ring of death is fairly common as far as percentages go, but after 3 in a month you gotta start wondering if there's a common denominator here.
- MioTheGreat, on 10/24/2007, -2/+11The Halo 3: Fraternity Edition really would come in handy, though. And who wouldn't want a Master Chief beer bong?
- drunk3nrabbit, on 10/24/2007, -1/+9We don't need morons like you typing lame sounds on digg, this is what is really lowering the common denominator at digg
- Akaji, on 10/24/2007, -0/+8They all did it, now shut it.
- Ryan5, on 10/29/2007, -2/+10I just had my xbox die on me too! However I got a free game since this is the second time I have been through this... Now I can only dream about my days of playing halo 3.
- Akaji, on 10/23/2007, -0/+7He also makes sure to put it in an airtight container, right? Wouldn't want any stray dust particles getting into the laser!
- seraph582, on 10/23/2007, -0/+7OH NAW THEY DI - INT!
- emh924a, on 10/27/2007, -2/+9and i was under the false impression that piracy was the reason for ***** ticket sales i didnt know it was really halo3s fault all along
- Ch3n3yTh3D1ck, on 10/24/2007, -5/+12THIS IS SATIRE, LIKE THE ONION, READ CLOSELY. THEY DIDN'T ALSO RELEASE "HALO 3 FRATERNITY EDITION" ***** RETARDS
- VanD, on 10/23/2007, -5/+12I giggled.
- iticu, on 10/24/2007, -1/+7You shall never take away my right to display apathy in a post!
MEH!
.. wait.. - jonnyeh, on 10/23/2007, -4/+10You got a free game? I had to pay $120 to get my 360 repaired the 2nd time, although, the refund cheque is 'in the mail', still.
- NSMike, on 11/08/2007, -1/+7It's not that it's "unfunny," it's just too close to the truth, or at least, too believable.
- SPARTACVS, on 10/23/2007, -2/+7WTF is with everyone getting free games? I'm on my fifth one already, and it's technically dead ITSELF, I'm just keeping it on life support with the towel trick so I can get all the achievements in the Orange Box before I have to send it off. The only thing I've ever gotten "free" from Microsoft through all this is prepaid return shipping for it...
