Congratulations on breaking the record.

We have beaten the game on Normal and Hard 2-player Co-op and we will be doing 4-player Legendary Co-op this weekend.

It took us about 8 hours to beat the game in campaign mode.

It is an overall solid game. It has some issues, but Co-op does improve this game a bunch. Just like Resistance, this game is better with more people.

XBox 360 - I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I didn't talk - I played Halo 3.

While it did sell great, it's only that much money because of how expensive 360 games are - plus the rip-off crappy helmet edition and the limited edition. They did great with the core game, but the special packages are horrible and cheat the consumer out of money. The gaming company itself should be ashamed, Bungie are the ones who did good.

@ Joergen8:

Microsoft owns the rights to PGR, not Bizarre, so you will NOT be seeing a PGR game on the PS3. Think of it like Harmonix and Guitar Hero. Red Octane owned the rights to the GH name since they were the publisher. Now that they are split, Harmonix can't make more GH games (which is why they are doing Rock Band).

There will be more PGR on the 360, but it will just be developed by someone else. Whether that's a good or bad thing will be up in the air until PGR5.

In spider man 3, you get like two or three hours of entertainment, Halo 3 on the other hand gives you fun for years to come. So i think its worth paying 60-100 bucks.

If you still need an Xbox 360, then get one in a few easy steps. I haven't purchased my copy of Halo 3 yet (I'm waiting for the price to go down) but I can't wait to start playing. I still believe that the original Halo revolutionized FPS games and it's gameplay is still relevant today. ...way to go Microsoft!

Cost of HALO 3

£40

Cost to see Spider Man 3

£10

$170 million = £85 million

85 million / 4 = 21.5 million

So if the prices where the same Halo would only of made £21.5 million or $43 million, Spider Man 3 Made about $382 million world-wide so even with out the converting your talking crap :P

What did you expect? After all the hype built up, anything less than total domination would have been a disappointmnt, right?

I still won't throw down my money for H3, though. Especially not since the german localization sucks so hard AND there's no way to change it back to english.

Where's this 170 mil figure coming from? Is there a source or some hard data or is MS just pulling this out of their arses? If this is solid, then that's phenomenal... great work. And if it isn't, screw it, Halo 3's still far better than the recent Spiderman movies.

err... I keep seeing all of these people trying to use the argument of how Harry Potter for example, sold more units (presumably) for 20ish dollars.. Excuse me here, but that doesnt mean it sold more, as in dollars is the most accurate way of deducing it. For example, it only costs 10-15 dollars to goto the movies, where as it costs 60-130 to buy Halo 3. So, you of course are going to have less sales, as less people can afford to pay said prices vs a movie tickets price. So, when you have a game such as Halo 3, that has such a high entrance fee, sell more dollar amount worth of goods, it shows people are indeed willing to pay much more for Halo, than they are for say Harry Potter, or Spiderman. Otherwise, that argument would make sense.

Regardless of how you want to figure it, Halo is an amazing property and game, and the third just cemented itself into history.

Major,

I wonder if you could address either here or on your next show, why the exclusive content for Halo 3 for Xbox Live Gold subscribers is only available to the US. Yet Again.

Explanations about content owners not allowing you to release things worldwide really don't apply when said content is owned by Microsoft. So why is Microsoft choosing to discriminate against the international player base?

Is "making Europe a priority" really just hollow words? Especially in light of "Well beyond just a U.S. phenomenon..."

Would genuinely like to know the answer to this, cheers.
