I dont hate Halo.. I hate how overhyped it is. I rented a 360 just to beat it. It is not anything new or special to the FPS genre and there are many games that does everything it does better. It's only plus is it's the first well made FPS on a console. You can say "but the vehicles" but nothing, flipping GoldenEye 007 had a tank you could drive. Unreal Tournament 2004 has better vehicles and came before Halo (if you look half of Halo's vehicles are direct ripoffs of UT04's example/ Warthog vs the Scorpion).

You know what, I'm going to do the same thing for the PS3 when MGS4 and FFXIII comes out. Just rent the console and when finished give it back. Instead of forking out all the cash for a console like that.

Try and play Halo 3 on Xbox Live. The replayability is amazing. Just like the Nintendo fanboys will be saying next year when Super Smash Bros. Brawl release. There going to be like "SSBB is amazing online, Its better than Halo 3 on Xbox Live. Watch that happens.


 most blockbuster videos only have 360s for rent, they dont have Wiis or PS3s yet. And I did, using my friends XBL account on his console as I only beat the single player when I rented it (legendary with all 25 skulls). Plus you still fork out a good bit to rent a console ($50).


It saves me from paying $500 or $600. I would rather rent then buy. And MGS4 is hitting sometime next year and FFXIII is being released in 2009. I know by that time PS3 will be in Blockbusters, Hollywood Video, or RentACenter and many more rent stores, but generally speaking I can wait.
