With the Legendary edition being over $100, how many people are actually going to spend that much on a game, considering they can get just the special edition and the normal edition?

Me. I'm a Halo fanboy, so i'll be getting it. But i think it's made for halo nerds like myself, that's why they aren't making many of them at all. Everybody will just get the normal versions.

I think it's a ripoff, but I'm not a Halo fan in the first place, so I guess that's why.

It's a waste of money. I have too many priorities to spend $130 on a helmet and a few "Making Of" dvd's.

I'm getting it, so are all of my 20+ friends. Why settle with the inferior version of Halo3? I want only the best.

Unless they include something else that interest me that hasn't been mentioned yet then no... I'll probally get the Collector's Edition ($70) seeing how it also includes "Making of" DVD and an artbook.

The Halo 3 will not be superior. It be the same game. You just have fancy "extras."

I want to but I'm only getting the $50 or $60 version of Halo 3, I don't know if it will be $50 or $60 I think it is $50 because first Party titles are $50 on the 360 right.

so far they have not broke this rule and no official price besides the legendary edition of halo 3 have been announced.  1st party means MS or a company owned by MS, not just exclusive (Bungie is owned by MS)

I am. I know at least 3 people who are linin up at midnight with me to buy that thing in the cold Scottish winter, but it's worth it. People will buy this for the same reason people buy the limited edition or the two disc special edition DVDs these days, I only ever buy the two disc versions when I get the chance - never settle for second best. Besides, if you're a Halo nut, you'll want the DVD with all the cutscenes from the trilogy on it, at least till the Halo movie swings back into production.

I would if I could wear the helmet...and if it came with the rest of the suit. An eneergy sword that was bundled in with it wouldn't help either. But for a small, bowling ball-sized helmet? Nu-uh.

I put it on reserve months ago just to make sure I could get it if I ended up wanting it but I actually don't know if I will end up picking it up. In a side note a couple of weeks ago I checked to see if it was still pre-orderable and the guy at EB said they had sold out of the allotment.

Aren't they all sold out already? I thought it was number 1 on the amazon list for a long time and I heard they may or may not be sold out.

It's been canned. :) Joe Staten said the deal between microsoft and the movie companies falling through actually brought about a sense of relief for them, and it was at that point that they realise they weren't comfortable with a Halo movie and didn't want to risk selling the storyline out. Instead, they're going to stick to just making the game and are expanding the storyline through a partnership with peter jackson to create a story-heavy, interactive movie-game-thing, the Halo Wars game and the books which have already been an amazing success thanks to the awesomeness of the author. Those things combined effectively replace the movie.

They're not even on the halo 3 engine. They're just remastered for HD.

Someone ahead of me just reserved it today at gamestop in my town...  I wasn't really listening until I heard the price tag its like $100+, at which point I nearly spit out my bubble tea all over the guy in front of me. 

I then preceeded to pre-order a normal copy of halo 3 and pre-pay for odin sphere... and I had a good laugh with the guy behind the counter about the rediculous price tag for a novelty helmet and a few extras.

More power too you if your a fan I guess, but what the hell just buy another game instead of the legendary version

okay, they will be for free on some other website in HD. either way, over 100 dollars for a game, you would lose. but hey, not my money. knock yourself out.

I want the legendary edition for a couple reasons: one, my friend thinks the helmet is a key chain for some reason so I'll prove him wrong; two, I skipped out on the Halo 2 collectors edition so I want to make up for it; three, I really love Halo I read the books played the games and have two spartan figures so bring on the end of the real Halo with a bang.

$100 :lol:

Halo fanboys will buy this and Bungee will laugh their butts off all the way to the bank. 

"But, but, but the extra features of teh Halo 3!" :lol:

I got suspended for 10 days a while back for making fun of Halo 3.  :lol:

As far as I know there are no places doing pre-orders anymore, I was talking about that further up.
