I'm buying the Halo 3 beta for 60 bucks and they are going to include a free game called Crackdown. Sounds like a good deal to me. I know it's stupid but I probaby would pay $$$ just for the Beta - I've been waiting for years. |

If I hadn't received the Halo 3 invite, I wouldn't have bought Crackdown for it. $60 for a LIMITED beta is not worth it. Sure, I am a fan of the Halo series, but not enough to plop down 6 Hamiltons for it. As for Crackdown, it's just not my cup of tea. Beer anyone? |

I think it is likely that the halo 3 beta will be released to all xbox 360 gamers a week or 2 after the crackdown beta players. So everyone chill! |

Microsoft and its team of developers on the Crackdown project are happy with Crackdown for what it is, but it seems as though the public excitement and hype weren't overwhelmingly positive, so maybe they decided to add the halo 3 beta; ADDING the h3 beta! Whether or not microsoft is charging $60 for the h3 beta is a matter of whether you as a consumer are more excited about the h3 beta or Crackdown. Sure its part of good marketing for BOTH, but to belittle what the developers have done, which is put together a solid game is bad form in my opinion. After the interviews on the planetxbox360 podcast, I think I'll be buying Crackdown, and then trying the halo 3 demo as an ADDED BONUS. |

im with horngreen on this one..my biggest worry is that people will be playing this demo SO MUCH that they will get so tired of master chief and it wont be that big of an anticipation for the full game..
Unless the demo is really designed well enough to MAKE us buy halo 3... |

haha. I really can't put it down. Crackdown's got it's faults (no versus multiplayer, weak bosses, so-so map features and grueling races) but the game is a heck of a lot of fun for what it is. And I'm addicted to it... |

Crackdown for Crackdown here. Halo 3? Never cared that much for the others, so I'm not fussed either way. |

I'm one of the 600,000 who DLed the Crackdown demo. I also thought it was lame and deleted it after a few games. It seems we should be able to DL the H3 beta but I can live without it. What does suck is that by the time H3 comes out there will be hundreds of thousands of people who will have been playing H3 for months. They will have the advantage of knowing the controls, maps and feel for the game. This will make it annoying to come in and play. I couldn't imagine coming in and just starting Halo 2 at this point. Having your ass handed to you over and over because you're behind the learning curve gets old fast. At least MS didn't force a high def DVD player on us like Sony did I guess. |

If crackdown is such a great game on its own, why not package the H3 beta in GRAW2 instead? |

So don't friggin' buy it! Its just a beta, so who cares? I don't have Crackdown or the H3 beta, and I can still sleep at night. |

I pre-orderd crackdown for crackdown after playing the demo. Halo beta is just a plus as I am more intrested in crackdown to be honest. |

What are people complaining about? If they don't want to spend $60 for crackdown then don't get it. Microsoft isn't forcing them to buy anything. What a bunch of babies. They are the ones making it look like they are spending $60 for a beta, and not the other way around. I'm already in the beta but I plan on getting crackdown anyway because it is a very fun game. |

I'm buying Crackdown for Crackdown. Halo 3 is a nice addon, but definately not worth 60 on its own. Climbing the agency tower in the demo made me want this. |
