How come Halo isn't a Platinum hit?
Is there any reason for this? I know it has to have sold enough copies...but it's still $50!!!! I've played through it and beat it when I borrowed it and an Xbox awhile back (before I had mine) and I would love to buy it and play through it again but I really dont wanna pay $50 for it.
C'mon, I know it's sold more then ~cough~ Bloodwake ~cough~...
Dude...it's all about supply and demand. Regardless of Halo's $50 price tag, they simply have enough demand for it...why lower it?
cuz MS knows..that even at the original $50 price...they can still sell it and sell it well.
trust me..once the sells of halo1 start really slumping...it'll be marked down.
think of it as gta3.
i doubt Halo will drop any lower than $50 before Halo 2 comes out.... If oyu want Halo now I think its on sale for $30 someone where check the sales post
It is not a platinum hit because they dont feel like selling it for 20 bucks when people are still buying it for 50.
Wow, four posts saying the exact same thing. I would have made it 5 but I think four should get the point across.
You need to be very specific with a question like this one...Originally posted by MerimacHamwich

Exactly, the game is at high demand, as long as it makes money, why put it down for a lower amount of money? Its a good marketing strategy, and by doing so not only is Halo becoming more popular, but Microsoft is making more money as it is. Plus more gamers on Game Spy! =D
actually stores have been selling gta3 for less now that Vice City is out. but i know what you're saying, GTA3 sold thousands of copies a month at $50 for a long timeOriginally posted by DZNUTZ

I dont ever see Halo dropping in price until Halo 2 comes out. Its definately worthy of a platinum hit though. If Munchs Odyssey or Gotham racing made it then even BLOODWAKE was worthy of it
I think most places are selling it at 40-45 dollars now. Atleast locally anyway.

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?" Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others" - Nelson Mandela
It's like 80 bucks here in canada
Nice sig, but that isn't going to goad me into harassing you... Instead I am going to harass you about your crappy TMNT drawing! For the love of god, you aren't spending all of your time with a dictionary obviously, make a better turtleOriginally posted by tntcheats

I actually drew that in german class at school,
and into socials...
I didn't realize untill a friend pointed it out that he looked like a ninja turtle,
but if I was going to make it a ninja turtle,
it would actually have the head shaped right!
Ninja turtles heads,
look like a watermelon on it's side,
with a hemisphere centered on it.
I've got #'s 1 and 3,
but for some reason not #2,
that one was the best of the 3
Eighty bucks!? Thats insane .. the last time I remember a game that expesnsive, was Majora's Mask and Pokemon Stadium 2.
TMNT for life. =D
if it sells good why drop the price? just leave it until the next installment comes out cause then you know they will all flock to the 2nd one.
BOW TO THE MIGHTY NHL! HOCKEY RULES!
Here in Belgium Halo costs 70€ so thats the same as 70$
