So? What exactly is the problem.

It makes perfect sense. If the consumer wants the barebones game, they get that. If they want the limited edition version, they can get that. The point is to let the consumer have the choice. It being called the Halo 3 Special Edition 360 obviously refers to the custom case, and anyone interested in buying it is well aware of the fact that they still have to buy the game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Because he wanted it? What other possible reason could there be? Not that it really matters, seeing how everyone's entitled to spend their money how they see fit and don't have to justify their purchases to anyone.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No it doesn't. It costs $400, the Elite costs $450. Not that it's relevant anyways. He wanted a limited edition Halo 3 console, and so he put down the money for it.

Looks to me like he gained ownership of something he really wanted. Who are we to dictate what he did or didn't gain anyways? By your own words, people "think you're insane" for buying Japanese products that you desire, so why do you feel the need to give someone else a hard time over what is basically a similar situation? Is not every person entitled to spend their own money however they see fit without having someone else ridicule them for it?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yeah! What a bunch of idiots, spending their cash on products that they want! Stupid corporations, they're always trying to make money by selling stuff that consumers desire. I'm so sick of this.

He's a Halo fan and wanted to own a Halo themed console. Seems to make plenty of sense. Why the hell does his purchase have to make sense anyways? This is some straight up high school snob-fest crap. All of us spend money on products we don't need, videogame related or not. It's unbelievable that people are acting like total asses over what other people do with their own cash.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
