Haven't you got like a game or something to work on instead of gloating?
Damn, I can't stand this waiting. I'll go watch a movie, wank or make weird noises now to take my mind of this spectacle.

I gave up on Major Nelson after his treatment (or lack thereof) of 360 owners after the November 30, 2006 update bricked thousands and thousands of consoles. He didn't even acknowledge that there was an issue.

Two Points:
1. There were some in other threads that claimed that the franchise was losing steam and that Halo 3 wouldn't enjoy the same success that Halo 2 did. Unless this PR nightmare hurts them a great deal (and ultimately I don't think it will), I think this thread proves otherwise and that H3 is going to sell in massive numbers like H2 did.
2. After this debacle I seriously doubt that anyone will try the "bundle an invitation to a highly desirable downloadable beta (that is not included) with a retail game" again. We'll see completed demos that are done and on the disk of course but nothing like this. The fact that Crackdown and the beta were marketed like they were means that when trouble happens with the beta's availability, all your problems are magnified 100X because people feel they are "owed" something. In hindsight I think it was a bad idea and they would be much better off giving all the invites out via contests and such.

i dunno what kind of updates you guys were really expecting. they were obviously going to update when they had pertinent information, otherwise it would have just been
"we're working on it"
"still working on it"
"eating my lunch now, working on it"
"okay, still working on it..."
"we're working on it"
"still working on it"
"eating my lunch now, working on it"
"okay, still working on it..."

factor in the download time ( i am assuming really long since so many will be downloading it) and it is still a looooooooooong time.

I figured out how the internet works: Ten seconds after I settle down and decide to get some work done, I get hopelessly distracted.

to be honest it's a lot better than I expected. as I said, I'd happily wait a week as soon as I was told that it would be a week. it was the lack of explanation/apology that bothered me.

it took all day to identify the problem and now another 3 to 6 hours to fix it? man this sucks.
