When a developer wants to update/patch their game on the Xbox 360, they must submit the update for approval, and wait two or three weeks. Only after weeks of testing (and waiting in line) does the patch/update get rejected or approved and put online. For any normal game, that's the ridiculous, but necessary process it goes through.

But if it has anything to do with Halo 3, apparently it's put right on top of the list without concern for all the other games that have to wait a absurd amount of time. Yes. When the FREE download of the Halo 3 BETA doesn't work correctly, and it takes them less then 24 hours to patch.

I find that appalling. Microsoft is really getting on my nerves.
