Dear Bungie, Micro$oft and Major Tom,I am super mad at you for all the pain and grief you've put on me for the last seven hours and forty seven minutes. OMG, it's a simpel thing you had to do. All you had to do was flip the BEST BETA EVAR swich in your office and give me and the fans across the world sum Halo 3 action. But no, you n00bs couldnt' even manage that. Let's look at what I've done for you!
First of all, I gave you 60 bucks for my beta ticket i could have just left it at that, but I played the included Crackdown (more liek Suckdown!) game for over 80 hours. I got all the acheivvement points and stuff to see if it unlocked the beta early, but nothing fine, I said, I'll get my munny's worth later. I'll wait until the "official" launch date, whateva. So I waited. Like, a lot. I bought an xtra X-box 360 (an ELITE, which is awesome BTW) just in case I got red-ringed before the beta. I took the whole week off work so I could play it without being interrupted and I told my mom to leave me alone. I did all of that, and what do you give me? nothing.
You guys have lost all your credibility now. I've been staring at the crackdown menu for a whole day, when I could have been doing something useful! You wasted my time and I can never get it back!!1I could have picked up my daughter from school by now, but no, you make me sit here and wait and wait and wait until you get your freaking act together. After all that time playing Halo 2, writing fanfiction and making wallpapers of Master Chief (he pwns the stupid Arbitrary) and dedicating my days to you... this is how yuo thank me? No, let me thank you.
Thank you for completely screwing up my life, Bungie. This is all your fold!

This almost sounded like a real intardnet rant up until this point. The chances of someone posting a rant like this actually having to worry about a job is exactly 0. Same for having a daughter.

Never ever have i ever seen a forum full of so much crying.
Seriously...it is a FREE beta that nobody was obliged to give you. Be grateful you get anything at all. Usually a game of this size would never have a beta.
Seriously...its embarassing to the gaming community.

Anyways that was good and even though I'm really bummed about it not working, I'm one of the affected, I'm not going to get pissy and laughed my ass off at that as their are a ton of posters in the bungie forums saying similar things. Though I do have the day off from work and school today and was really looking forward to playing it (I just happened to get the day off and I didn't plan it like some people) I found other ways to amuse myself. Gym, blood donation, and homework. Not all Halo/360 fanboys have nothing better to do and are immature samfish. To bad the same can't be said for you.

I believe most public schools are letting out for summer. These kids got nothin but time.

I know that I'm a man, and you are a collection of electrons and 1s and 0s displayed through my computer monitor. As such, carrying your child would be completely impossible, and if it were possible, it would be an affront to nature. Regardless, I wish to have your baby.
Love,

it's actually funny when it's from the mouth of the beast.
On one hand, i had and have mad finals today, so at least this whole debacle is less distracting than the actual beta.
on the other hand, this is one less day of the 21 us crackdown users get to play. I'll be completely honest, i would have never paid more than $40 for crackdown if it didn't include the beta, plain and simple.
This also reminds me of when i bought Phantasy star online, just for the sonic adventures demo. The only difference there was that the demo sucked and PSO became one of my favorite games.

@ bigcheeze:
Joystiq is owned by AOL. And while each blogger may have their personal preferences of systems and games, the site is, overall, unbiased. They both bash and praise all three console manufactures when they deserve it.

As for the delights, it's 2 for PS3, 3 for Wii, and 11 for 360.

What if they said Starwars episode 1 couldn't be shown for a few more hours, as you sit there and wait. Most of you nerds would have lost your damn minds!
I woke up early, broke all plans, etc.. To start playing this right away. And instead of standing in a game store, I was stuck on crackdown, pressing a-b-a-b-a-b over and over like it was my job.
This is an important day to alot of people. And no one seems to point our that they had three months to make this shit happen. But fuck, M$ got their crackdown money, wtf do things need to actually work for?
See: The fucking 360.
To make matter worse, while 300,000 people sit on their hands, They give us no news except the 'We know!' crap about 6 1/2 hours ago.
We don't have husbands coming home from war... We don't have babies on the damn way. This is our day. This was supposed to be the best day in a long time.
Call me what ever you want. Say how much halo sucks. But it doesn't change the fact that we want this game to goddamn work already. Especially since other people get to lay it for free, while we had to pay 60.
And don't give me that 'it was for crackdown' shpeal. (sp?) Fuck crackdown. If anything, I payed 60$ for the beta, and crackdown came free along with it.
Crackdown. Was. Not. Fun.
For the billions of damn dollars they make an hour, this should be no fucking problem.
By the end of today, I see myself owning a ps3.
