Only 150 Bags left?
My friend is telling me that there were some people on one of the main forums earlier who claimed they figured out how many bags were sold using some method through Amazon.
Using the method, they found out that 350 bags were sold before it got closed. Is this true?
EDIT: So I found out the method used to ascertain just how many bags were left was simply 'Buy 501 bags, get the following error message from Amazon: "We're sorry, but there are only X amount left of this item"

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] YahwehFreak4evr Oh I wasn't saying you were wrong, but rather that 500 is a ridicilously low number of bags for them to produce. I could understand 3,000 or maybe even 1,000; but 500 is ridiculous. For instance, Microsoft earned [url=http://www.dailytech.com/First+Day+Sales+for+Halo+Reach+Beyond+200M/article19645.htm]$200 million[/url] from Halo: Reach on the first day. If you do the math, that comes out to about 3 million copies were sold on the first day. 3,000,000/500=6000 Or about 1 out of every 6,000 of their fans will be getting Swag Bags. Heck, with those odds I'm more likely to win a local lottery than I am to get a swag bag.[/quote]While I doubt all 3 million would pay the $40+ for the bag, you do have a valid point. In a way I wish Bungie had produced a little more bags to keep the community happy, but in a way I wish they kept them very limited the way they did.
