OK, so I played the Crackdown demo on XLM, and I liked it. But I'm really looking forward to the Halo 3 beta (who isn't?) which doesn't officially begin until spring.

I buy most of my games on eBay (and get them new/sealed for $10-ish under retail) and Crackdown is still $55-$75 right now, so I might want to wait until prices go down.

Do you think I'd miss my chance at the Halo 3 beta? Or when it gets closer to the beta starting, will prices go up even more? I know there's only a few Crackdowns with with beta, so they might be rare.

So what do you guys think? Should I buy the game now, or wait until spring is closer?

I personally wouldn't pay that much money for the beta. I mean, it's a flawed, buggy version of Halo 3, and your expected to report on bugs (but most people wont which makes me worried about the final product) and if you don't play the beta, imagine the amount of anticipating and excitement you'll have when the REAL game ships? Lots of people are going to be like "this is fun, but ive already played myself to death in the beta, so its nothing really new besides single player" where as you will be in awe of every moment of the finished copy.

Also, I don't think Crackdown is worth 60-70 bucks. I'd say wait until it goes down in price. If you really need to blow people up, Saints Row rocks.

EDIT: Any copy you find on eBay with the Halo 3 beta will be more expensive because people know others will pay almost anything to get in. Just like when the Wii and PS3 came out.
