the soundtrack to halo2 was excellent.. not the stupid rock crap they threw in.. the original score composed for most of the game.

It’s very sad when video game music is better that what’s supposed to be popular or current. What does this say about RIAA member corporations when people who can’t program a proper operating system, who rip off every idea they claim they come up with.. can contract out for better music than they can.

While giving you less and less?

Of course they want a way to fleece endless revenue off of my gaming habit, personally I like the current system where I but a game, play the game, and that’s it.

Next thing you know they’ll be asking me to “rent” game time. Wanna play Prince of Persia? Only $4.99 an hour.

nuff said.. this is all a ploy to allow M$ to micromanage your use of your own hardware in your own home.

This is one of the main reason there are still console gamers.. the games are complete, well developed…

Now M$ wants to pull this crap where they release every game missing it’s final levels.. like halo2 did.. so they can force you to:

A. buy broadband (unless xbox has some kind of dialup)
B. pay more money
C. subject your xbox to searches and “authentication” to penalize you for having a brain and enhancing your xbox by.. say.. hacking it out with mac bios and osX(it’s supposed to have a g5 chipset) or a larger hard disk which can store your legally purchased games, making it easier to lug it to a friend’s place, or an XBox version of mplayer to turn it into an all purpose media center.

Oh god forbid you should actually be allowed to modify your own hardware!
