- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Well, we weren't expecting that one now, were we...
- GunbladeVIII, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Congratulations on your big launch, Microsoft; I'm impressed, really I am, and I'm sure you made a fantastic, praise-worthy game.
But please stop with these comparisons. It's not apples-to-apples when the things you're comparing have fractions of cost. - Prathik89, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2SURPRISE!
- malakite33, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Well deserved I'd say. The game is great and after messing around in the forge and theater I believe it is going to be big for the professional gaming community as well. Kudos to Bungie for making their best and most balanced game yet. Raising the bar one halo at a time.
- dunlop, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1People need to relax...No ***** they want to Hype their product. While I am a fan of Halo and am enjoying the campaign (especially co-op). The Forge and Theater options in this game have completely blown my mind. Hate Halo all you want but Bungie has now raised the bar for future console FPS's to follow. This game deserves all the accolades it is receiving and more
- hater2win, on 10/10/2007, -4/+3Here is my problem with this. The game is awesome, but what about things like movies and books? The article mentions Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Spider-Man 3. So think of this, a movie ticket costs (here in texas, 8 bucks, in ny 12 bucks I think) and the Harry Potter Book had an MSRP of 39.99. Halo 3 costed 60 bucks! thats roughly 6 times the cost of a movie ticket, and 20 bucks more than the MSRP of HP7 (HP 7 in most places was on sale during the first day for like $25 - $30 bucks.
So considering the hype machines behind HP 7, Spider-Man and Halo 3, it is almost a no brainer that it would gross more than the other 2 because in both cases it is at LEAST 2 times more expensive. Granted it shouldn't matter, I know, but that's that my opinion. I think this whole announcement is sensationalized. - expert01, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1It doesn't matter how many individual copies it sold, it doesn't matter how much it cost, what matters is that, collectively, people thought it worth spending $170 million (I checked online, and the record for opening day sales was for SpiderMan 3 - think it was 3 - which got around $60 million. Halo 3 beat the record by 3x, and Spider-Man had a budget of $260 million, which I doubt Halo had).
BTW, dupe. - phronko, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Costed?
- KingGoonie, on 10/10/2007, -5/+2Again.. they need to stop with the biggest nonsense. You wanna say highest grossing ok, but biggest? No...
