Don't worry, therapy is available. We also host a rehabilitation program. You see, some people think "Oh, well all my friends are doing Kameo, a little can't hurt." Of course, before long many of these individuals are hooked. Some start out on Kameo, which is socially acceptable in many circles, but others start to descend down a dark spiral, and may soon become involved with the likes of Perfect Dark Zero. Fortunately, those of us here at Brazen have gotten some of these people out of this deep rut, and though cold turkey and rehabilitation has affected some more adversely than others, we have had a great degree of success with our new Viva Pinata program. Of course, it's still an addiction, but using these VP's has worked wonders on our clients, once struggling to cope with Kameo, and fighting a losing battle with the once notorious PDZ. Now they can re-integrate into normal society, leading happy normal lives once again. Sign up today!

We're developing a "Crackdown" regime for those who're in the extreme depths PDZ can lead to, but such drastic treatment probably isn't required in this case.

A. The theme was all Rare games and that. Kameo's not good, PDZ's awful, and Viva is great. B. Crackdown's proper bad, not what I would give to someone who's been put through PDZ.
Oh yeah, you know that whole "You can't change the Windows Live ID that you gamertag is linked to" schtick? I know how to get around it ^_^. Anyone want to change the Windows Live ID their GT is on? (I had to because my ID was an unused aol email, aol sucks)

Point B is a filthy lie  The game is damn good, and has gone way beyond just a Halo 3 beta key. Now knowing the quality of the game, I'd get it with or without the beta. So darned fun. That is all.

I lie like you, eh?
The demo was alright but I'd only pay half price for it, it gave me the feeling of being so bad it just might be good. But I'll wait until you rush out and get it on release.
Then ignore your opinion and take heed of everyone else's.

Correction, anyone else getting Crackdown for Crackdown on release, and not for the Halo 3 beta?
It's just that if you're one of those strange people, I'll gladly take the Halo 3 beta code off your hands.

No, I'm buying it for the GOOD game, and not the beta of the MEDIOCRE one.

Then your code will do just fine, Mr. Theron, Sir =D.

It's not a code, Exu. The beta will only run from the Crackdown disc  Also, I got interested in Crackdown because of the Halo 3 beta publicity, and it's definitely an awesome bonus, but once I looked into the game itself, it went far above and beyond expectations. It's also generally being reviewed well, I believe. 1UP gave it a 9, for one

Ah crap, oh well, rule of three it is then.
Hmm, I need to clean out my Live friendlist.

All Rule of Three winners have been announced over the last 3 days. The only available way now to get into the game is to buy Crackdown.

That was Rule of Three US version.
As far as I know, we haven't had one.

We have. I entered for the first phase, and haven't heard anything, despite it long being over. And the 2nd phase (the Halo 2 playing) was worldwide, and has definitely ended the time of entry, if not yet the announcement of winners (though I would've thought it'd done that too). Anyway, Heavy also wants Crackdown now, and he doesn't even like Halo.

A friend at college is getting Crackdown on release and has no plans to join the Halo 3 beta so I may just be able to borrow his disc and get in after all.
Yeah.

I have Gears I have Pro Evo 6, it's [censored], worst £20 I spent I had the Crackdown demo, but I can't be arsed I don't have Vegas, it's not on my immediate "to get" list though I will acquire it somewhere down the line. I'll take you on in the Halo 3 beta though  .

I have Pro Evo 6, it's [censored], worst £20 I spent. It was actually cheaper to get my 360 + Gears with Pro Evo as well, than to not have it (thanks to a bizzare weekend-only deal), so I'm happy. The game is, yes, rubbish. I even tried to milk it for some achievements, but they're all pretty tough. I was looking at the Crackdown achievements earlier too... I might try and aim for 900/900  (and think about the other 100 when that content download hits).

Oh? Do tell.
Also, there's a download up now for four new agents, might wanna download it ready for the game? I might play as the one with Sam Fisher headgear when I get it. (Which I will, in time, just not for anywhere near full price)

I reckon preowned copies might start popping up soon, it's pretty marmitey. And yeah, I was gonna go with the Ninja one myself  The Achievements are here. The majority are quite easily doable.
