H3 Beta: renting Crackdown not an option

If you want to play the Halo 3 Beta this Spring for more than a couple of days, then renting Crackdown will not be the way to go. It seems Microsoft have thought about that, and have put in defensive measures. Basically, the option to play the demo can only be accessed through Crackdown. All is revealed in the link.

How is it not an option I don't get it? It says you can get it, but you just cant keep it if you rent it, so than therefore renting IS an option it's just not going to give you the beta for forever. Also, very lame about the whole limited time thing, but than again hype hype hype, woo here comes the hype train baby

TheMART6706d ago

No, you need to activate the Beta every time you want to play it, with the Crackdown DVD.

So if you rent it for let's say 4 days, you'll be able to use the Beta only 4 days. Simple as that.

then What? will the system be able to tell the difference between a burned copy and a orignal?

Havince6706d ago

crackdowns a god solid game, just get the game enjoy it and also play halo beta. simple

calderra6706d ago

No, people- your download (like all other downlods) will be tied to your online profile with Xbox Live. You'll be able to play it after you download it so long as you're signed into Xbox Live.

Burn copies all you want, only one gamer profile with Xbox Live will be able to play it, at all.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii527d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies527d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.

The 7 Best Xbox 360 Games - Console Exclusives Win the Day

The Xbox 360 was a fantastic console in its day with some truly classic titles, but what are the seven best games for the console?

DrDoomer564d ago

I'm pretty used to these lists being bad, but this one is particularly s#ite.

raWfodog564d ago

I think Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon should have been added to the list.

BrainSyphoned564d ago

I'll go with,
Lost Odyssey, Blue Dragon, Culdcept Saga, Shadow Complex, Ace Combat 6 with the flight stick,A Kingdom for Keflings, A World of Keflings.
Bonus Kinect Games: Happy Action Theater and Sesame Street.
*Skyrim was so bad on PS3 that it almost deserves to be #1*

Husker42c564d ago

I really loved Shadow Complex.

P_Bomb564d ago

Ah yes, Shadow Complex! Good indies back in the day. Summer of Arcade. I enjoyed Trials Evolution as well.

ChasterMies564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

Was this made by a.i.? No human being would put Shadowrun, Fable III, and Splinter Cell: Conviction into a list of the 7 best Xbox 360 games.

Abnor_Mal564d ago (Edited 564d ago )

Would love to play Ace Combat6 on PlayStation, but Xbox decided to buy exclusivity and keep it off a competing platform.

The only mainline game I never played except for one level at a friends place. Game sold less than any other in the series if I remember correctly.

darthv72564d ago

360 had Namco hitters AC6 and RR6... both quality titles. You should at least bust out the 360 for AC6 if you can score the flight stick. Its great.

Hofstaderman564d ago

When the current gen XBOX offering is so lacking people need to refer to games released two generations back....

Profchaos563d ago (Edited 563d ago )

It's a nostalgia peice same reason we get thousands of YouTube videos on sega genisis. Something people have fond memories for but the era is long gone.

It's xboxs golden year imo it was their genisis years the time where they stuck it to the market leaders Sony.

BehindTheRows563d ago

They stuck nothing. Sony screwed themselves giving Xbox an opening. They would have gotten the usual smack down if the PS3 had launched at $399 and was easier to develop for.
