Microsoft 'Blames' Hollywood for Record Halo 3 Sales

Microsoft executives blamed higher ticket prices and a 'lack of originality' for record sales of Halo 3.

'We thought we'd get some good sales, but nothing like this,' said Microsoft executive Bob Frederickson. 'But with escalating ticket prices and the crappy movies Hollywood has been putting out. People are just hungry for entertainment.'



Another blow to Hollywood!

I have no love for Microsoft what-so-ever - or even Halo, but let's just say they moved up a notch in my book for that little comment. :P

You do realize this is like The Onion right? BBSpot's title is "Satire for Smart People; The Truth for You". It's under a title called "New Originals".

The related news links are about PS3 and WII being bundled together and a frat version of Halo 3.

You've been spoofed!
It's easily done though when you're ploughing through all that news and all those links.
Good idea to use a site-blocker.
I'll add this one to my list..... :wink:
