I thought the exact same thing. Why in the hell would you click the link, knowing that it was your pet peeve?

Of course Halo 3 will be $60. Every "big" game for 360 is gonna be $60 its not unheard of. I try my best to avoid paying $60 for a game and have been able to do so with still obtaining a few games. I don't understand video games have always been about $40-$60 when those brand new Burger King games are quite long, have good graphics, online capabilities and are $3.99.

Why not discuss it there? How about because I don't know those people. The people around here are regulars and a lot of us know each others taste and stance on gaming. I come here for like minded conversation from like minded people. Everyone around here is around the same age (roughly). From the few times I have checked out digg, the talkback was maybe a step above the Ain't It Cool News crowd. Maybe on par with imdb. I mean what do you expect for a site geared towards the G4 crowd? So pardon me for wanting a more civilized conversation with peers.
As for the article, and pricing, I have to agree with gimmiepilotwings. It is $60 because Microsoft proved last gen people were willing to pay that price. And in true fashion Sony is just following suit. Kudos for Nintendo "keeping it real."

That is like asking if Mario and Zelda will be ported to the 360 and PS3.

No. Sneak King doesn't have an online mode. Only Big Bumping and Pocketbike Racers do.

So a major franchise game every year for the 360.

So I would ask that everyone refrain from mentioning Burger King or any meat related topics.

But MC (other than jake who I really wouldn't consider a peer) I think your right actually
(although it’s still a little annoying seeing the same article everywhere)
