But package in the Halo 3 beta, and you're giving a promising IP a real chance to make an impression on a whole lot of people. I'd really be ragging on Microsoft if Crackdown were a bad game, but it's not, so I can't complain.

I know people who aren't purchasing Crackdown out of protest that they didn't just send out more e-mail invites. If I wasn't already invited to the Beta, then I'd probably feel that way.
