I'm not misinterpreting anything you write, mate. Just because I don't touch down on everything, doesn't mean that's the case. Some points you're right on, but others are just garbage imho.

You're right for once. Halo isn't Tetris. They're both the same thing though. Tetris was a console-pusher for the original Game Boy.

Halo was the console pusher for the Xbox and Halo 3 is pretty much going to be a console pusher for the 360. That's why our Best Buy store is going to have a pretty big booth displaying the game as well as some 360's (Including the crappy imho, 'new' Halo edition 360's)

Halo 3 is record-breaking. For being the fastest pre-order to hit one million?

No, what I meant by record breaking was that not only did it sell out of pre-orders, it also broke the 160 million dollar margin in presales alone. Since your PS3 numbers don't matter (The system didn't sell worth **** because of it's miniscule amount of systems out there. The PS2 however, /was/ record-breaking as far as sales go.) Analysts all say that Halo 3 could be the fastest selling game of all time by reaching $200 million in sales within a timespan of hours. Bit early to say that now, but who's going to argue, really? (Sans the people who think it's all 'overrated.')

That's kinda like the PS3's record-breaking. It's a completely trivial "record" to break but whatever gives your company press I suppose. "Hey we sold out the fastest in this one region! Go us! Nevermind the fact that our competition would've sold more had they had the supply out there!" Yeah, breaking records. They only matter when the record isn't some insanely trivial matter.

I've already said my peice about this here. PS3 sucks anyways imho, but it sure does make a good grill.

Pre-order sales mean nothing.

What? You're joking, right...? *Reads on*

Other than the fact that they show how many people are probably going to buy the game, of course. I don't recall Grand Theft Auto III/VC/SA had millions of pre-orders but they sure sold more copies than Halo!

Pre-Order sales are essentially actual sales themselves. Ask any retailer and they'll say that once you've pre-ordered it, you've pretty much bought the game. (Despite it not being in your possession.) Now, as for Grand Theft Auto... First of all, we all know that the big winner of the series was San Andreas. It's exclusive to the Playstation 2, as of now. I love how you keep going around the fact that there are more Playstation 2's in homes than there are xboxes, but then again, we're not discussing that matter. In my opinion, San Andreas sold so many more copies than the Halo games did because there are simply more consoles available. I remember you naming the numbers between Ps2 owners compared to Xbox owners. People aren't going to buy games for a system they don't own, unless they're for gifts.

Yes, Halo is popular! You're right again! Congratulations

Yep.

George Bush was also elected president, winning the popular vote! That must mean he's the BESTEST PRESIDENT EVER!!!!!

Irrelevant. No where did I say Halo was the best game ever. I merely said it was popular. GTA is popular, Mario is popular, Zelda is popular, Guitar Hero is popular, list goes on...

Oh, and the age thing. I didn't say that to go "lol im smrter den u". I said it to say "hey we're both in college.

You seemed like you tried to make some sort of point out of it, and...

You should know (as a fellow college student (I assume)) that college students make their own schedules and generally don't have classes on Saturdays." That's why I put in the college note.

..If it's for that, I really don't understand what you're trying to prove here. Yes, college students do make their own schedules. However, I've got Composition and Rhetoric II 1302 later today so unfortunately I'm not one of those students. (No, I did not misinterpret what you said, don't jump at that and try to pick that apart.) What point does this make?

You misinterpreted it yet again. You just seem so full of angst to try to mudsling.

You know what you just seem so full of?

But hey, you agree that not everyone in the world thinks Halo 3 is the greatest game ever, so I'm pretty much done here.

Again, don't patronize me.

Gahhh...I keep posting about it but I'm just too excited about Halo 3... Good bye social life, hello noob pwnage.

EDIT: Ohh man rofl Darkjakk, is he using Tartarus' hammer in the first image? That's sick XD I didn't know you could stop vehicles with it.
