Today (August 2nd) Amazon.es (Spanish-Español... I don't know if they did the same thing on the regular Amazon) it seems they accidentally listed Halo: The Master Chief Collection as being for PC as well as Xbox One. They were quick to take off the PC label, but everyone knows... you post it, people instantly grab it: SegmentNext being one of those groups.
According to SegmentNext, this did not get a page for a PC listing: which means it was probably a glitch or error in the system.
Now, I know what your thinking, "Hey Pinky this is TOTALLY PHOTOSHOP!!!" and I can understand that. It would be easy to put a pixelized PC beside the Xbox One name... but... here's the thing. Yes, it could be a Glitch, and YES it could be edited, but what if this is real? SegmentNext stated that GTA V got the same glitch, and it turned out to be true for PC (though I don't keep up with GTA). Have some of that!
What seems even more strange is...
Microsoft on July 31st revealed a Master Chief Mouse for official sale in October, as Gamespot covered.
Quoting Gamespot:
"Strangely, considering the target demographic for this is presumably people who play games and are fans of Halo, this is not a gaming mouse. The 3500 is a fairly run-of-the-mill wireless mouse that carries an MSRP of $30, but is sold for as little as $16 on Amazon if you're willing to make do with one whose color is officially described as "Loch Ness Gray."
"By most accounts it's a fine mouse, but it lacks the sort of gamer-centric features you'd expect from one that carries the Halo branding. Even something as simple as extra side buttons (the 3500 has only the two in addition to its mouse wheel) that I can't imagine living without are nowhere to be found."
"Microsoft claims the mouse lasts up to eight months with a single AA battery, offers a slot for transporting its USB receiver, and uses the company's BlueTrack Technology. This is said to provide "remarkable tracking on virtually any surface" including carpet, though it won't work on mirrors or clear glass."
Now I know there is probably a crapton of Halo merchandise for PCs at this point, but I found this correlation to be somewhat... non coincidental. As of now I have not seen official Halo related PC accessories except Desktop Wallpaper.
The MC Mouse is somewhat generic, and seemingly not fit for hardcore gaming (though I can manage pretty well with a regular mouse, but I'm not a hardcore PC gamer), but WHY announce a Halo Mouse at this point when there is allot of PC clamoring for the MCC? Which you stated like 1000 times is not making it's debut? I don't see the logic here.
Sadly this could be just Microsoft doing what Microsoft does: Selling stuff. There is possibly no regard to the Master Chief Collection with this Mouse. Sad but true... but we can hope.
So. What do you think? Trolling? Glitches? PHOTOSHOP!? Crack those skulls open, and give me them thoughts!
