I wasn't sure about buying it but after seeing the live action trailer is worth it and of course tit has the best multiplayer after all

considering it's the second best video game ever yes

just because you can't get halo which is much better than killzone 2 doesn't mean you have to lie

Yeah it worth it.

Putting it in perspective.. Yes, it is worth it

And besides, buying ODST will save me 20-40$ in map packs. (I forget if map packs are priced at 10 or 20$ a peice)

And don't forget the eventual clan support (which I hope does happen one day)

lol why is that post still here?

There was a article on Gamestop having Bungie say this is now a 8+ hour game was there not?
8 hours for a FPS is big enough for me.

So are expansion packs worth the same as full price games?

A great game is worth full price whether It's an expansion pack or not.

I would have gladly paid $50 for Brood War or Lord of Destruction.

Halo 3 ODST will be a great game.

As much as I loved some expansion packs, I would have felt ripped off if I had to pay full price for them O.o

I guess we have different views then, but in my view I believe that part of the cost of a game is supposed to be used to recuperate the losses encured by the creation of the game, and then some extra money is charged for profit. Therefore an expansion pack, that should be utilizing the resources from the previous game, should cost less than the original product (the cost of making the engine, original models, etc). Willingly charging full price when the cost should be lower simply screams an unreasonable attempt to get profit, than an reasonable attempt to get profit with the original product.

If people are going to pay $60 (such as myself) why bother lowering the price?

If you look at pre-order numbers people don't seem to care If It's $60 or not. Would it have sold more at $40? Probably. Would it justify profit expense? Probably not. MS knows people are going to pay $60 and It's the right decision to make. If it wasn't then they would have kept it at $40.
