Just had to laugh at this quote:

http://tech.uk.msn.com/features/article.aspx?cp-documentid=6247785

Quote:
Halo 3 is officially the biggest media launch of all time, breezing past the Spiderman 3 film and the last Harry Potter book with 24-hour sales amounting to more than $170 million in the United States alone.


What absolute bull!!

Customer: "Two for Spiderman 3 the movie please"
Sales Clerk: "That will be £80 please".....don't think so Shocked

Neither will you find folk in queues for a Harry potter book costing £40 EACH!!

M$ talk out their ego inflated BUTTS!! Rolling Eyes

Are you fucking serious?

80 Pounds?

You brits get fucked hand over fist when it comes to any entertainment content. You can take your high exchange rate and suck it because it doesn't help you one bit.

he meant that in different context. Hallo3 is 40 pounds, so people would have to get in very long line to top the 170 million $ in just a week, which are compared to spiderman 3 and harry potthead boks, point is: people don't stand in long lines for 40 pounds products, you wouldn't watch spiderman 3 if ticket was 40 pounds (standing in line for consoles are different story (I find that humiliating) but ppl obviosly do it, so I guess if they stod in line for 500$ x-rod 360, they will stand in line for 80$ hallo 3 also...)

PS I writte "haLLo" on purpose with two l's Smile I'd rather buy rayman than halo, and I hate rayman Very Happy

cheers !
