A console is a failure if it forces people to pay for content that should be free.[QUOTE="Brownesque"][QUOTE="xbox360isgr8t"] what makes a console a failure? just cause its not leading in sales who cares. it all depends on the consumers and how they feel about their purchase not a number and sales? you cant play sales. you dont make any profit off sales because you own a certain system unless you somehow work for that company. seriously wtf are complaining about.needagoodname
I stopped reading here.
That was ALMOST valid.
Think about this though: who would want a Halo: Reach beta that WOULDN'T want ODST?
"Oh, I want the Halo game with no known details, I just don't want the other one coming out."
It's a bonus to the people that want ODST. They're not packaging it with Viva Pinata. They're packaging a game with a beta to the sequel. How is this forcing anything?
The content apparently is free (a user shared that you can sign up for the beta online without buying ODST), so technically this doesn't apply in this context. Your argument would be valid if someone had to want the final product in order to want to play the beta and if someone had to want ODST just because they like the Halo franchise. And, frankly, I don't know that Reach is the sequel to Halo 3. Can you show me that this is the case? After all, you did say it was a "Halo game with no known details." If someone said that Metal Gear Rising was the sequel to MGS4, I would cock an eyebrow.
