Halo fanboys never cease to amaze me....

I went to GameStop yesterday to buy a 360 game.  I had it narrowed down to 3 choices: Crackdown, Lost Planet, or COD3.  Crackdown was sold out.  I decided to get COD3 and I asked an employee if he played Crackdown.  He said he bought it only for the Halo 3 beta. 

Just then, another employee whos shift apparently just started came in.  I asked the 2nd employee if Crackdown was any good.  He said he only bought it for the Halo 3 beta.  He then told me that there has been a major influx of phone calls from people asking if the Halo 3 beta was on Crackdown.  

He said "You wanted Crackdown for the Halo 3 beta, right?"

I said that Crackdown looked intriguing enough in its own right and that the Halo 3 beta is a nice bonus.   He had a face like :| when I said that. 

He said that I was the first person who wanted to actually play Crackdown without getting excited about the Halo 3 beta.  He looked utterly shocked that I cared anything about Crackdown and not the Halo 3 beta. 

After all this transpired I just had a face like :roll: the whole time going home.  I couldn't believe that both employees had bought Crackdown (not even tried playing it) for the sole purpose of the beta.  Absolutely ridiculous.  

Anyway, I don't really have a point with all this except to say that after the whole GameStop incident, I'm convinced now more than ever that Crackdown will only sell well for the Halo 3 beta.  People are willing to spend $60 for a beta...

I'm also convinced GameStop is run by a bunch of buffoons...

Halo is a damn good game, what else can be said?Kayrod29

You shouldnt care what other people buy...btw i bought your bedpoopinloop32

Sounds like MGS fans... I bought ZOE for the actual game, but many people were buying ZOE for the MGS2 demo.

Of course, I don't care to play some Halo 3 beta (a single player demo wouldn't be bad), nor do I care to play Crackdown.

I'd buy anything for a Mass Effect/ Bioshock demo.

    I'll tell you what, the Halo 3 beta convinced me to buy Crackdown instead of renting it, but I am glad I did. Crackdown is a great game in its own right, and I think it was a bit underrated on GS.SpruceCaboose

That's fine...That I can understand.  What I can't understand though is that both of those GameStop employees bought Crackdown and won't even try playing it!  They haven't played it once. They are just awaiting the Halo 3 beta.  That just seems ridiculously absurd to me and too fanboyish...
