I hope that Microsoft is ready for their next class action lawsuit. Imagine people waiting in line for their special edition Halo 3 and paying 69.99 plus tax, only to be greeted with scratched disks, then to have to pay for return shipping and wait 2 weeks for a replacement disks. People should receive the game for free after all that hassle. Way to go Microsoft.

Halo cost 30 million to make, and I believe marketing was about 25 million. So they are making a awesome profit

Hey major when are you going to tell us about the fall dashboard update is going to happen and if there will be a web browser. I mean the messenger kit couldn't just be for the MSN right?

Somehow I think there will be a HALO4 looking at the money thats been made, most likely on XBOX3 though.

lets hope you folks actually use some of that $300 million to fix the cheats that you didnt care about on halo2. thats the reason halo will never get my cash again. fix the cheaters instead of adding on to your mansion please. after you fix the cheaters, then buy away.

I hope someone in programming sees that not all gamers like the standby cheat!! PLEASE PROGRAMMERS, don't put cheats into multiplayer. thats the only way they beat me.

"It's kind of sad that such an average game can bring in so much cash. Oh well, it was sort of worth that 27 hour rental from Gamefly. Glad I didn't buy it. Oh and when the game first came out (the first 5 days) everyone on my friends list was playing it. Now barely half of them are playing it these days." Yeah, that explains the 400K people playing Team Slayer ALONE last night (not counting the other multiplayer options). (rolling eyes)

Yes! Sell Bungie - they made Microsoft too much money. All that cash is clogging the hallways at the offices.

Halo = Overrated. It's a good game, but waaaaaaay overrated.

Yeah, “Halo 3” was released in 37 countries and 17 languages.

But the German language version is indeed a load of crap. With these numbers, why couldn't you afford to get a couple of professional actors instead of these sorry amateurs?

With this kind of sloppy translation work, you shouldn't even have sold a single copy of the game in German-speaking countries.

Why did I even bother preordering this, putting faith in the quality of your work? I could have known better - again, your support for Europe is a major letdown.

Epic? Bullcrap. its just Halo 2 and Halo, packaged together. None of these games have a real storyline.

Great job MS! But I find it hard to think that only 1/3 of the xbox live community has Halo 3.. My entire friends list plays Halo 3!
