What is MS thinking 129 for a game? it's funny cause they give you all these "Bonuses" but your paying for them..... why not just sell the Helmet Solo? This is really beyond sad there charging you 129 and 60 for the game the 60 for some plastic and paper woot. Who ever wants a replica of a fake hero is beyond me.

yeah , worst scenario is if Halo 3 worldwide gets 8's will be hillarious to see people buy the legandary Verions of an AA game for 129. you guys really earned the name lemming if the Replica helmet was being helo by Master Chief himself you would try to get it and fall to your impending deaths.

Clever. Then what was the point of this thread? It seems it doesn't affect you in any way.

Well I guess its up to you, but I think $130 American is worth all of this.

  1. An individually numbered MJOLNIR Spartan Helmet
  2. Two bonus discs.
    1. Provides exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage and videos, including a HD "Making of Halo 3" documentary showcasing the Bungie team and its effort to create the most anticipated title in the industries history; numerous HD featurettes documenting the creative design processes involved in developing the game; and even a look at some early game concepts and their evolution through the game's development. The disk also includes an audio-visual calibration tool, never before seen on a video game and custom designed by the Halo 3 graphics and udio team to make the most of fans' HD home theaters, for the ultimate Halo 3 and Xbox 360 audio and video performance.
    2. Disc Two, an exclusive to the Legendary Edition, will include completely remastered cinematic material from Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, supplemented with developer commentaries, to provide a refresher course on the thrilling Halo story so far, and a featurette documenting a day in the life at Bungie. Exclusive content from the creative minds behind Machinima artists "Red vs. Blue" and "This Spartan Life" will aslo be included.
  3. Finally, fans who purchase the Legendary Edition will recieve an illuminating collection of original Halo 3 storyboard art from artist Lee Wilson, depicting key moments and pivitol scenes from the epic cinematic production of Halo.

It effects me when i see my Brothers and Sisters(this not being my own but everyone is my brother or sister) overpaying for useless materials when they can actually save the money and maybe give it to a homeless guy? maybe do something with the other 60 like take your family out to dinner or something that isn;t centered around yourself? the point of these forums is to try to sway peoples opinions and maybe if many people agree the Legendary edition will flop(the same way there still WOW BC Collectors editons in stores 4 motnsh after release and FF12 Collectors still at EB.. no one really wants to pay more for this useless junk and devs seem to be getting out of hand ever year. it started with maddens 20th aniversay edition that came with the first madden and now every year almost ever game has a collectors edition. all they have is an extra DVD showing what the devs have to say. the DVD cost 2 dollars to manufacture but they add 10 to 20 to the price.

No i wouldn't. Why would i buy 1 game for 129 when i can buy 2? who actually puts in those DVDs and watches them over playing the game? All you guys do is support higher priced games for absolutly no reason. a sparta helmet haha i bet i can buy one solo off ebay after release for less than 60.

FYI theres also a collectors edition that comes with the DVD's minus the helmet and it's around 80 so how is that plastic helmet 50 bucks? also you can't even put the helmet on so how is it a replica.

What is MS thinking 129 for a game? it's funny cause they give you all these "Bonuses" but your paying for them..... why not just sell the Helmet Solo? This is really beyond sad there charging you 129 and 60 for the game the 60 for some plastic and paper woot. Who ever wants a replica of a fake hero is beyond me.peacebringer

 

Dare I mention how in order to get a PS3 you HAD to buy a Blu-Ray player, too? Is that a "bonus" that you're paying for?...

 

Just some SW perspective.

So your comparing 129 halo 3 to the extra 130 Sony is charging you for a Blueray player that your family will see mutliple movies be a source of fun for you family to a helmet you put on your desk?(the elite is 479 without any HD Playback and thats where i compared the price to)

I just don't understand what your problem is, 3 different versions to buy, if people want to pay 130, let them. its none of your business. I would never buy it, but I know my friend is, he works, its his money and he loves to collect stuff like that, You and I have absolutely no right to tell him or anyone else that they shouldn't. just worry about yourself and don't be another jack thompson and try to help or defend people who don't want or need it.

You're sidestepping my point about as well as a fat kid in a game of dodgeball.

 

The worth of these various "bonuses" to the PS3 and H3Legendary owners is subjective. My point was that you're complaining about being forced to buy all these other things along with the legendary edition.

 

Didn't you have to do the same thing with your PS3?

i don't have a PS3 why do people assume just cause you bash a prduct you have the other consoles can't opinions come from unbiased people? ok guys go and buy all the supplies for this legendary edition. then for Halo 4 expect MS to make a 200 legendary edition. Keep giving them fuel and they will keep burning you. I won't buy it but MS shouldn't even bring something like this out. there selling you something that cost 50 bucks to make for 129. those extra do not cost no 70 dollars extra bu MS doesn't care it's fans are lemming and they will buy it but thre the only fans who would buy some junk like this.(let me not that the walmart by my house still has WOW BC collectors edtions and the EB still has FF collectors editions) if this Legendary Edtion really sells out then it means that MS fans really are lemming and they will buy whatever even if it means them going broke.

Overall, IMHO 'special' edition releases are a waste of money. I've only ever bought one, and that was for Oblivion, and I only bought that because it had a nice bound handbook on the history of Tamriel and a neat coin that I had made into a pendant.

However, if the helmet was big enough so I could wear it, then I would consider the legendary edition, if just for the geek cred and Halloween.

by Brothers and Sister i meant you and everyone else.... and i guess good adivce is frowned on. i don't care as many have stated it doesn't hurt me cause i'm not gonna buy it. but i seem to care about everyone and if one person can read this and say yeah that is kinda stupid i'll get theregular edition and maybe get a haircut or new clothes with the rest then i have served my purpose.

Course not it's dripping with truth. Even Bill gates will admit only a DA will purchase the Legendary Version of a game that isn't gonna look that great compared to other games and add very little to the halo universe. Halo 3 will prob be the worst of the Halos but it's the only one with a 129 version. that is Milkage.

No i wouldn't. Why would i buy 1 game for 129 when i can buy 2? who actually puts in those DVDs and watches them over playing the game? All you guys do is support higher priced games for absolutly no reason. a sparta helmet haha i bet i can buy one solo off ebay after release for less than 60.

yeah the same people who buy this are the same people in debt...... thats why they buy it there not gonna pay it back.

how old are you? what the hell does anyone being in debt have to do with this? if you buy this game for 130 or buy two different games for the same price, you're still spending money. don't tell people how to spend their money, whether they are in debt or not. you just don't get it do you? if someone really wants it, let them. if they don't want to and think its too much money, like yourself, don't buy it. very simple.

just get over it, this is the future, these video game companies are going to nickle and dime us till the day we die or stop playing, and if its bothering you so much, than maybe you should quit gaming now and save yourself some money.

i'm gonna laugh if the helmet is the size of a fist or not as large as people think lol. it would be even funnier if it was the size of a keychain lol.

This is really beyond sad there charging you 129 and 60 for the game the 60 for some plastic and paper woot. Who ever wants a replica of a fake hero is beyond me.haols

 

Dare I mention how in order to get a PS3 you HAD to buy a Blu-Ray player, too? Is that a "bonus" that you're paying for?...

 

Just some SW perspective.


Ehm, maybe it is just me, but I find a blu-ray player far more useful than a replica of a helmet :|

 

I understand your point, but you're missing mine. I agree, but in order to get a PS3 you HAD to get the Blu-Ray player, which isn't going to be of much use outside of playing PS3 games (unless you like to buy movies).

 

I don't have to have all the fancy stuff to enjoy Halo 3. It is worth it to me? Perhaps, I've been with Bungie during the Pathways into Darkness days. I dig that company.

i don't have a PS3 why do people assume just cause you bash a prduct you have the other consoles can't opinions come from unbiased people? ok guys go and buy all the supplies for this legendary edition. then for Halo 4 expect MS to make a 200 legendary edition. Keep giving them fuel and they will keep burning you. I won't buy it but MS shouldn't even bring something like this out. there selling you something that cost 50 bucks to make for 129. those extra do not cost no 70 dollars extra bu MS doesn't care it's fans are lemming and they will buy it but thre the only fans who would buy some junk like this.(let me not that the walmart by my house still has WOW BC collectors edtions and the EB still has FF collectors editions) if this Legendary Edtion really sells out then it means that MS fans really are lemming and they will buy whatever even if it means them going broke.

Hey, whatever, dude. That's all I can say to that reply.

Course not it's dripping with truth. Even Bill gates will admit only a DA will purchase the Legendary Version of a game that isn't gonna look that great compared to other games and add very little to the halo universe. Halo 3 will prob be the worst of the Halos but it's the only one with a 129 version. that is Milkage.

 

:| I would say it's because your post was "dripping with truth". It's dripping with something, that's for sure...

[QUOTE="terrellpakeman"]I bet if there was a MGS4 collectors edition with a Snake figurine and extras you wouldn't mind forking over $130.LEGEND_C4A

No i wouldn't. Why would i buy 1 game for 129 when i can buy 2? who actually puts in those DVDs and watches them over playing the game? All you guys do is support higher priced games for absolutly no reason. a sparta helmet haha i bet i can buy one solo off ebay after release for less than 60.

FYI theres also a collectors edition that comes with the DVD's minus the helmet and it's around 80 so how is that plastic helmet 50 bucks? also you can't even put the helmet on so how is it a replica.

I just don't understand what your problem is, 3 different versions to buy, if people want to pay 130, let them. its none of your business. I would never buy it, but I know my friend is, he works, its his money and he loves to collect stuff like that, You and I have absolutely no right to tell him or anyone else that they shouldn't. just worry about yourself and don't be another jack thompson and try to help or defend people who don't want or need it.

yeah the same people who buy this are the same people in debt...... thats why they buy it there not gonna pay it back.

how old are you? what the hell does anyone being in debt have to do with this? if you buy this game for 130 or buy two different games for the same price, you're still spending money. don't tell people how to spend their money, whether they are in debt or not. you just don't get it do you? if someone really wants it, let them. if they don't want to and think its too much money, like yourself, don't buy it. very simple.

just get over it, this is the future, these video game companies are going to nickle and dime us till the day we die or stop playing, and if its bothering you so much, than maybe you should quit gaming now and save yourself some money.

Sir i do save money i don't buy useless editions. in the end with 129 i can buy Halo 3 and Mass effect or Blue dragon. isn;t 2 games better than one with a sparta helmet?

This thread is pointless, if you do not want it, do not buy it, just buy the cheaper one.  It does exist you know?  And that buy your family dinner thing is a joke.  If they want to spend the money for themeselves, they should because they earned it.  Seriously, you are overreacting.  It is not milking since you have a CHOICE

I think the TC is just trying to move up levels. He did a weird thread before and at the end of it admitted he was B.S.ing and just trying to level up with a lot of posts so don't take him seriously

I personally think it's stupid, but as long as you don't have to buy them, I don't see a huge problem.Flipnblack

I agree, I would never in my life spend 130 for a game for a freaking helmet, but hey, for other people its worth it, whether it fits on their heads, or on a pencil eraser, who are we to tell them if its worth it or not. The thing is that we have a choice of what to buy, not one person is being forced to buy it if they don't want to, but people will, so I just can't see what the problem is.

Hey, I want all the extras in the Legendary Edition, and I'm willing to pay for it.  It's the same reason you buy a DVD over watching on Pay-Per-View.

Lemming Disagree not surprise. Zelda one of the best games ever never came with a collectors or other type of deal? this is one of the highly rated games in history and so is Mario but do you see collectors editions? no you only see them for games that really havn't prooved themselves yet. i can bring up this subject if i please it is my right as a member of gamespot the same way lemming can bring up BR is over priced then say no a 129 version of Halo 3 is justified? do you see the hypocrisy? i do.

  2. Two bonus discs.
    1. Provides exclusive, behind-the-scenes footage and videos, including a HD "Making of Halo 3" documentary showcasing the Bungie team and its effort to create the most anticipated title in the industries history; numerous HD featurettes documenting the creative design processes involved in developing the game; and even a look at some early game concepts and their evolution through the game's development.

I understand that, I never said you didn't have money, but what I am saying is this. its useless to you, but its not going to be useless for many people, so let them be. I bet if you let anyone come into your home, they would find something that is useless, but its perfect for you, right? who cares what other people think about what you do with your money, so why should we care what you think.

remember I do agree that its crazy to spend so much money for a helmet, but don't tell anyone else not to just because you think its useless.

We are not saying the Collectors and Legendary Edition is god.  We are saying it is really stupid to get mad over them when you can still buy the normal priced oned.  Why is it so bad that they offer more for the hardcore fans?

Well you are right, a free choice is always better then forcing customers.
If anyone thinks that all the fancy stuff is worth it, fine with me it's a personal descision.
