You honestly want someone fired because a ****ing beta is running a bit late?

Part of a business is satisfying customers. There are a lot of pissed off people because of this.

I don't find it unreasonable that if this problem could be stemmed to a few people from MS (not RTW, outside MS, etc), they will face repercusions.

I pay 39.99 a year subscription for good service, I'm not happy.

Great, someone just spotted an update to the Halo 3 page on xbox.com:

The "Halo 3" multiplayer beta is running on Xbox LIVE from 1pm, 16 May until 8am, 7 June. To take part you need a specially marked copy of "Crackdown" for Xbox 360. This fine game is your key to the door. Trust us you won't want to leave. See you in there.

Here, combined with my pic.

Double ear, picture over TV.
BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME!

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I certainly do.

lord.

my friends and family code came at midnight pacific. that was neat.

 

[AtomicShroom]

I dunno if three hours is a bit late. But someone getting fired is also extreme.

Something needs to be done due to this negligence.

Something like a cut in salary. Or a month without salary. Something like that...

Well, I wasn't accepted by eharmony.com.

 

[comrade]

I hope so too.

You guys are dicks.:lol

 

[Qwerty710710]

It's not even 11 am here yet. Maybe you live in a different time zone.

No one should get fired over this. But they should be forced to play Totemball for as long as this delay.

That's the UK site. 1PM over in the UK is 8AM EST/5 PST so that's nothing new. The page hasn't been updated.

 

[Lakitu]

It's the uk page guys, it's 4pm here.

LMAO!

This is one of the biggest xbox ****ups of all time.

 

[unomas]

I'm going to bed, I'm running on 3 hours of sleep and this has pissed me off! Thanks MS

 

[Mango Positive]

It's also nothing like Halo. When you're in the mood for steak, chicken doesn't cut it.

Some of these people appear to be starving. They should take a bit of chicken. It'll be good for their blood pressure.

 

[michaeld]

I certainly do.

Are you not the same guy who has repeatedly talked how bad halo is or am i thinking of someone else?

 

[MiloFoxburr]

So now the question is... Which 1pm? Probably Pacific... again.

Use eastern you bastards!

That would be 1pm GMT right which was 3 hours ago lol

 

[Router]

I sure hope the Medics in the Waaaaambulance get paid overtime.

 

[C4Lukins]

I think Bill should just gut the bastard in front of the entire workforce.

 

[SonnyBoy]

A wake on lan feature would be nice right about now...

 

[TheGreatDave]

That's the UK site, it's 4 now. So it's just as behind.

EU site. The US one still has the same time. Not that it makes anything better.

Yeah, I saw the addy after I posted. Already edited.

No that's not good enough.

Yeah right wtf no way.

Segarr: Grow up. Now you're just being pathetic and it is a pretty sad sight.

 

[MrDaravon]

Gah, no one has reading comprehension. That xbox.com link is for the UK, and guess what time it is over there? 3/4 (Not sure exactly what time zone that's based on).

 

[marmaraS]

[Lakitu]

FIFA 07

Silvaaaaaa scores!

the time zone all the other time zones are based on

I love how codes are still being given out....:lol

 

[Laika]

we should get rid of timezones. It ultimately confuses everyone

Someone high up from XBox team made a comment:

"I can’t comment on the delay, because it’s just not something – it’s a moving target. What this consumer should worry about is the way that we’ve treated him. Y’know, things get delayed, and if we’ve treated him well and fixed his problem, that’s something that we’re focused on right now. I’m not going to comment on individual delays because I’m shipping in 36 countries and it’s a complex business."

 

[TSAR]

damn it now i have to find something productive to do until 4pm est.... this sucks.

 

[pakopakopako]

We're aware that some users are having difficulty downloading the Halo 3 multiplayer beta via Crackdown. Bungie Studios is working with the Xbox Live team to resolve this as quickly as possible - stay tuned. Gamers entering the beta through other means, such as the Friends and Family remain unaffected.

I am headed back to Seattle in a few hours, so I’ll be offline while I am in the air. For the most up to date information, keep an eye on Bungie.net for the latest from Frankie regarding this issue.

This site is experiencing an excessive traffic amount of traffic at this time, so sorry for the temporary nature of this message. We’re working on getting back online as soon as we can.
