Before now I haven't been able to find an accurate price for ODST. Well it was just posted as $60. Along with the game they are including 24 maps that have all been released except 3. They will also have a demo for Halo:Reach.

I have to say I am not impressed. Bungie even admits it is a standalone expansion not a new game.

I say keep the maps and demo then sell the game for $30. Oh well, we all know I am going to buy it anyway.

Here's the link

Wow...really? Bungie even said in Bungie.net that they won't charge Halo ODST as a full price game. Now I don't know if I'm going to purchase it at the release day.:?

I know they did. I was expecting a $30 game, maybe even as much as $40, because it is a standalone.

Apparently they are selling to two versions of the release.

One of them will be $99.99 for the game and special ODST controller.

I will only rent this game. Not worth $60 for me at least.

Halo 3 ODST is it's own game priced at $60 now, I remember hearing that it'll be more than just an expansion pack.

It's kinda disapointing but I can't really say it's unfair. A completely new campaign supporting 4-player co-op, Halo 3's multiplayer including all ten of the DLC maps as well as an additional three, the new Fire fight multiplayer mode and the Halo: Reach multiplayer beta.

I'll admit that I was expecting cheaper... but then I gotta look at it this way: The game's going to last me longer than many other games that I paid $60 for, so in the end it will still be worth it.

you guys act like its a crappy costume DLC. Your getting a stand alone game that will have replay value along with brand new multiplayer maps to halo 3 and a BETA to a totaly new multiplayer experience

I dont care. Halo 3 is the best online game on the 360 in my opinon and i'm sure ODST won't dissapoint.

I'm probably gonna get the $99 one. I need an extra remote and it will probably have good online play. And I've always been a fan of stealthy fighting.

I wasn't very interesting of this. I'm not sure if I'm picking it up but this news about its price may delay me more from getting it.

I hope that is the case.

It doesn't really matter though, I know I am going to buy every Halo that comes out. All my friends play it, so I have to crush them in something. I have all of the games but Halo Wars, which doesn't really count.

I was just hoping to save thirty bones.
