Early rumors are that it'll only be 39.99. And those should be confirmed later this week. Given that there's Halo 2 maps in the game...I'm positive that it's worth close to 40. I'm not a huge Halo guy, but I'll get it when it drops to 30 or so. Might get it on release date, depending on my Amazon discount.

Re: Halo 4 and Halo CE anniversary edition announced
I'm sorry but watching Halo 4's trailer of 1 minute and 33 seconds, it shows 10 seconds of actual visual. I don't see any reasons why people love this game, although I do see the reasons people really do love their Halo, their loyal to that title.

Halo 4 are you kidding me Microsoft? YUNO give me anything fresh?
I really want to make an argument for Gears of War here, but you're probably right.

Halo 2 > any other halo game ever made.
The only thing that would of made me happier with halo 2 was if they brought the pistol from halo 1 too halo 2.

Stagnation.
This is a sign a franchise or a company is on the verge of downfall.

Hopefully 343 doesn't **** Halo 4 up like Bungie did with H3 and Reach. Loved H1 and H2, but H3 and Reach were not fun.

Yeah, I guess they have sort of exhausted that approach?
They've tried to launch a lot of new franchises over the years and very few of them were successful.
You got stuff like Blinx, Perfect Dark Z, Sudeki, Shadowrun, Tao Feng, Ninety-nine Nights, Kameo, etc, etc. Just a whole bunch titles ranging from mediocre to intensely awful. They just don't have more than one or two talented development teams on their payroll.
Their new thing seems to be to focus mostly on third-party and then try and negotiate some small form of exclusive content.

Oh it's a good business decision. Anyone who owns both consoles is going to continue to buy every multiplatform title on the 360 because they usually get some additional content and their Live service is so good.
But as a consumer it pisses me off that they spend all their money on map-packs instead of on development. They are simply riding the third party wave, and it's doing a very bad job at keeping me (and I'm sure many other users) loyal to their company in any way.

The problems is ALOT of those games appeal more towards the PS3 or Nintendo market.
Xbox 360, isn't really an RPG console. The only exception was really mass effect which is on the PS3 now. KOTOR was as well, but they abandoned that franchise. I can't think of any other exclusive RPGs. Most of the xbox games are really...shooters.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...osoft_Xbox_360
Let's be real. Perfect Dark was originally on the N64. It's not a 360 title, sure it came out for the 360, but that's not Microsoft's franchise.
Sudeki? It got positive reviews. Not sure why they abandoned it either.
Shadowrun came out first on the PC, and then moved over to the 360.
Tao Feng never heard of it.
Nighty-nine nights? it's cool but I think developer went under not sure.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to see them come up with something new. Something really really creative. I thought Prototype could be that type of game. And Sony's answer was inFAMOUS which I'm pretty sure was a bigger success. But I'd love to see more of that out of the box style that xbox once had.
I'm also pretty sure the Kinect will come back and bite them in the ass, because how many hardcore gamers actually have/want the kinect? I don't know any whatsoever. Sure immediately it boosted the sales because it stole some off the wii's market...but I really think they're gonna regret sinking more into it, than their own non-Kinect games.
