This comment from a (

"It's more Halo. We can probably get away with charging full price on this one."
*Nods*
EA and Microsoft are like Gordon Brown and Alister Darling, respectively. Koki on 18/6/2009 at 16:36

All the Halo kiddies and fan boys will eat this up. You know it. I know it. We all know it.

"Halo kiddies?" Let's keep the discourse above the GameFAQs level.
The thing is, no one knows where it's at right now. Originally, it was going to be a measly 3-5 hours and thus have a small price point. Microsoft claims that it has "greatly expanded since then," but waht does that mean? 8 hours? 10 hours? 15 hours? Of course, a game's quality should never be measured purely in hours, but it is concerning. Not sure this is a smart move on Microsoft's part, either. Sure, it will sell, and so they'll make a bigger short-term profit doing this. But if it is short and not the most awesome game of all time, people will fell ripped off. Resentment hurts brand value, and Microsoft doesn't want to drive away any of the Halo flock.
Would love to hear a comment come out of Bungie about this.

I don't think you quite grasp the true depths of horror that is GameFAQs-level discourse.

Identical to TTLG's, only with no grammar.
