Uhh...the embargo for this doesn't end until Monday morning at 9 a.m. PST.
@munish23: The quote is not taken out of context because the article explained TWICE that it was in response of concerns over matchmaking playlists prior to showing the actual quote. Gameplay was not even mentioned.
good job munish23
Danka. :P
Nope. No pre-order bonuses.
Missing out on things because of your principles is kind of the point of having principles...
Well, the good news is that the first month is free so you can find out for yourself.
I did the same. Walked out with the last Skyrim Collector's Edition.
I put together a roster of 30 characters back in May pretty easily.

Note though that I said this is something I hope Microsoft never does.
You are a braver man than me.
Fixed. The editor gets screwy when copying and pasting sometimes.
I think we'll see campaign during Microsoft's press conference and then an in-depth look at Spartan Ops on GameTrailers.
If they just say "this holiday" I think that will be enough until they give a specific release date.
#38Jobs was briefly in the top 10 after the news first broke.
MMOs are expensive to produce and 38 Studios was required to meet certain employment levels as a condition of the $75 million loan. They were to hit 300 employees by October of this year and 450 by November of 2013. Pay and benefits for that number of skilled people is ridiculously expensive and that's not even counting the cost of building leases, technology purchases, licenses, etc.
According to some reports, 38 Studios had a monthly burn rate of $4 million before this ...
Nope. Just in development bell.
By March 2013. Which means it could be released anytime between now and the end of March 2013.
An October release date months before the end of the fiscal year would help T2 meet its financial projections.
Notice though that the Xbox Support account walked back its comments. It was either a slip of the tongue or a the account being playful. The latter would actually be a bigger no no than the former. The Support Account is there to be helpful, not cause confu...
Depends. The fiscal year ends in March 2013 so it could just as easily be released in October as some rumors suggest.
A holiday release months before the fiscal year ends would help T2 meet its financial projections.
When you've got around 300 people on the payroll, it doesn't take long to burn through $50 mil. They're annual payroll alone is around $20 mil. Throw in building leases, tech purchases, etc and you've got a huge burn rate.
hmmmm
It is interesting but Microsoft sends out review codes for these games with the understanding that reviewers don't publish their reviews until a certain time.
Unless TrendyGamers got their hands on a review code without Microsoft (unlikely) they are breaking embargo.
