What product is over-hyped and overpriced for gamers from Microsoft?

That would be Halo 2. But that doesn't change the fact that Valve is doing it too, huh? I never said that M$ is genuninely concerned with its fan-base now did I? Your last post is kinda pointless IMO.

yeah, i'm a sucker for this kind of stuff... i'll probably get the HL2 shirt and CS shirt. i already have the HL2 hat cause i bought Gold edition on steam. what can i say? i'm a Half-Life whore. I even have the tattoo to prove it. :8

is it a real tat? If so take a pic (as long as it's in a PG region of the body of course heh)

It wasn't pointless or meant as a rebuttle. I was asking what product you meant. Anyway, Halo 2 was over-hyped but not overpriced. According to EBgames.com, it was only $49.99, which is standard.

Valve isn't over charging either. You do realize just because you can't afford something doesn't mean it's being overpriced, right? $18 for a brand name t-shirt isn't too much and $50 for a video game isn't either. You know that Valve and other companies can't just give their product away, don't you? I mean, things cost money to make and therefore cost money to buy. That's the way society works, you see.

That's why I never had much love for expensive brand-name T-shirts. I almost don't buy them. Anyway, the Valve T-shirts and etc. are something that I can do without. And you can't sell them off later anyway.

nothing. i was so hoping for action figures.

... arnt you a little to old for that?

NEVER! you are never too old to play with action figures. i have battles all the time between hulk hogan and spawn at my house. it is always ends in a tie for some reason...

Yea, I was thinking the same thing when I read cool AN's post. Well, except for the part where you actually play with em. :tongue

I have spiderman and ninja action figures on my computer desk right now.

As for the valve store I am not going to buy anything... I never liked useless crap like that.
