I guess the main idea is, if there's a crippling bug in that, or something overlooked, than I am all for some disdain, since that's what they are advertising as retail (or close enough to pass for it), and I feel the same way on downloaded content that's causing issues. If you're additions to a finished game are subtracting (red ring issues, lost save games, etc.), that's REALLY bad. This over a no apologies given beta though, even with the hype, still seems over the top. Especially with the years of running Halo tournaments I've done, the Halo 3 beta reaction not only hit me as laughable, but seemingly appropriate for many of the people who play. Yes, guys like you and I play those games and are perfectly normal and rational, but I often think that in the world of Halo, we're the exception!

I bet there'll be a zero day patch as soon as it hits retail. Patch and Play seems to be the way forward on consoles these days. What makes you think it will be finished when it’s released?
