I wouldn't normally link a gaming news story to the BBC, but I can't find it anywhere else.
I can see why MS might want to do this to encourage people to "upgrade" to Vista, but do any PC gamers really care about Halo 2 that much?
All it means for me is that while I might once have tried the game out, now I won't get the chance. Oh well. :shrug:
well i won't be paying anyway :smilie4:
Smart move by M$ but it also stinks.
Since I can see no reason why Halo 2 has to run on Vista I hope Halo 2 sells shit from the principle of it.
One, however, can't underestimate how presses video game players are. These are the same folks that pay $300+ for a video card.
If M$ was smart, they'd make Vista like Turbotax where if you don't activate it online, it won't work. To be fair, they should do a 2 or 3 machine license.
they would crack halo 2 and vista anyways.
ghey! :/

At least it helps my stocks.
Sucks on principle.
if you need better accessories in order to see it, it must be worth seeing.
SORRY SIR ONLY PEOPLE WITH MASSIVE BLING ARE ALLOWED IN THIS CLUB. BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU IF YOU WERE TO GAIN ADMISSION TO THIS CLUB IT IS MUCH BETTER THAN THE CLUB NEXT DOOR THAT ANY TOM DICK & GROUCHO CAN GET INTO.
I could care less about an old X-Box game but it will be interesting to see what other games are going to become Vista-only. I seriously doubt Halo 2 will be the only carrot that M$ will be dangling to get people to use their DRM-ridden piece of shit.
