i support this class action suit.

\"Halo 3 was falsely marketed as a high definition product\"

if this is indeed true, then Bungie has some fixing to do. The courts allow for this. In my country false marketing is an offence, isn't it in yours?

You can't say it's high def if it isn't high def. That dilutes the standard of high def. Standards in info-tech are serious business, even i believe this.

Isn't the high-def standard owned by anyone? I remember Philips told Sony (iirc) they could no longer call their CDs CDs, because the crazy Sony discs didn't work properly - Philips said NO, and Sony wern't allowed to call them CDs - BAM!
The same should have happened with Halo3 and the \"high-def\" marketing device (if one exists). i'm surprised it hasn't?

I'm just waiting to play Halo 3 on PC (yeah, I know it'll be at least a couple of years, if at all), so I can play it at 1200P (1920x1200). :wink:

(I'm currently working my way through Halo 2 on \"Legendary\" difficulty... it's tough, but it's gorgeous in high resolution.)

I was just so blown away at the sheer stupidity of it all that I figured it might be a joke.

Stupidity? Halo 3 was a release with the ability to sell consoles and televisions. Bungie marketed it as HD... it's 640p. That's the resolution your computer screen ran at when Windows 95 was released.

Actually, that's incorrect. Your computer screen refreshed twice as fast.
