Re: Wake Up HBO

In Response To: Re: Wake Up HBO (Cody Miller)


: Regular price being 60 plus XBL fees? That's my point. If Spartan Ops were on
: the disc and was actually only 60 bucks, it would be freaking cool. If
: Silver XBL accounts could get it, it would be freaking cool.

: Look, it's cool Season 1 is Free but it is terrible for me because I don't
: have Gold anymore. I simply long for a day when the price you paid at
: retail was all inclusive, and you got a full game for full price.

: I have 0.8 gigs left on my XBox Hard drive. Whoops, there goes how ever much
: more it would cost to get a new HD which is ridiculously overpriced. Would
: be easier if it were on an optical disc no?

: For Spartan Ops I am looking at minimum extra: $90 for the hard drive.
: $15 for a 1 month gold account (downloading all episodes at the end of the 10
: week period.)

: $105, as opposed to having them ship on a disc making it truly free.

: I would even be cool if Halo 4 were MORE that retail, but included spartan
: ops on the disc so you could do it sans XBL.

: btw: Unreal had a long ass campaign. Easily 2 Halo games. On the disc.
: Starcraft had 3 campaigns, as did Brood War. On the disc.

You can use a flash drive for storage - if you don't have one, you can buy one that's large enough for under $10. (I see people giving them away regularly, for various promotions; if I were really broke, or really opposed on principle to paying one extra cent for this content, I could certainly find one - or more than one - that didn't actually cost me anything.)

And if you really have an aversion to paying for XBL, and can't figure out how to scrounge a free 2-day code, you can simply wait until one of the Free Weekends comes around (after all 50 eps are released, of course).

In other words, with a bit of ingenuity (and time/work), you can get everything you need to play this new content for absolutely nothing.

They're aiming their product at an online market; most of the requirements are already met by most of this demographic. You're outside the demographic - maybe this game isn't for you.
