I told myself I wouldn't do it...I bought Crackdown for Halo 3 beta

I was one of those people. "Why would you buy a game just to participate in a beta test!" is what I would say. And I am self-owned for being a hypocrite of the lowest grade. I walked in the store with a few dozen bucks to blow, and I looked at Crackdown, I looked at the little sticker on the bottom corner (you guys know what sticker I'm talking about) and I had an epiphany, a dilemma, a moment of weakness, whatever you wanna call it.

And then I walked over to the cashier and asked for a copy.

Who else did this to themselves? I already KNOW I will not play Crackdown for any significant amount of time as I am playing other games in my library, but are there any other victims to the power of Halo?

What I'm not allowed to have an avatar of master chief. I had my doubts but Crackdown is pretty damn good, especially co-op.

Yes, its the power of Halo. Halo Beta helped Crackdwon sales greatly. But this doesn't mean Crackdown is crap.haris12121212

No doubt. I couldn't believe it when they said Darrent Williams was dead, worst day of the year so far, and hearing about Damien Nash wasn't too great either

What was funny was on the magazine ads it mentions the beta briefly at the bottom corner in small print, when it should've been the headline.

Halo has you hypnotized.:lol: If M$ sells lots of Crackdown, I wouldn't be surprised if they did this to another game. Are you going to buy Sponge Bob's Adventures if another little Halo3 sticker is on it?:roll:roulettethedog

Crack Down is great on its own, with Halo 3 beta its gonna be like extasy.

Well... I bought it for something to play... Since I already beat and played ever game I have just about twice.

If I had XBL I would be in the beta for sure... Why miss out on the bonus feature?

Well the options for the BETA are a limited period of time only. It says on the card that.

So you payed quite a bit for just a temporary demo.

WHAT???  The Crackdown disk comes with the Halo 3 beta invitation?  I didn't even realize this until now.  Wow.  I bought Crackdown for Crackdown and now I get this bonus?  Man, that rocks!

Seriously, this game is great.  The bosses could be tougher than just having more health than the other thugs, but it is a great game experience.
