I want to elaborate on the comments below about the Bungie acquisition. This is not a good thing for consumers. I just read the FAQ that Bungie has posted on their site, and it is quite clear that this means that, in order to get access to future Bungie titles, possibly including the much anticipated HALO, you will have to buy an XBox from Microsoft. It's all about lock in and other ugly things, and I'm sure that the owners of Bungie got the compensation that they deserved in the deal.(They have done some amazing work over the last seven years.) Microsoft is buying them to create a barrier of entry for their new console, and for no other reason. 1:34:14 PM  permalink  discuss []  

As a long time user of great games like Marathon, Myth, and Myth II, I am saddened by the acquisition of Bungie by Microsoft11:04:52 AM  permalink  discuss []
