To me though, it sounds like Bungie would be lamenting on the fact that the PS2 version is costing them time (even though it would be intended satrical comedy). They should realize that this is the best way--to release them all at once--even though it is delaying the PC & Mac version further.
Satire is one thing, and fine if done kindly, but saying "We've decided to release our product to more audiences, and realize that we must then delay it to the others. We feel this is all right, since we're doing it efficiently & with sensitivity [(they've put on two months for Mac & PC buyers to save them about 20 dollars per item to account for extra marketing costs, plus they're not appealing to an audience while treating another immorally by completely leaving them out in the cold)]. But hey! we're also going to give them something they would be able to use (ha ha!) if we were giving them Oni now." seems to destroy that bit about "sensitivity". (Long-long.) Even if they claimed they were only taking advantage of the time, it seems cruel when you think about it.
Sorry I had to be so serious when your post was play, but this is what I think is proper.
