I'm always interested in the CE sets, but when I really think about it I never use any of it and it takes up space. So, for me, just the plain version.

Yeah I got this call from Gamestop a few minutes ago; I've got my Legendary edition reserved. Most people already at least have $60 set aside for the game by now; another $60 shouldn't kill anyone and it's not hugely expensive for this game.

Now, with Alan Wake, Mass Effect, GTA4, Bioshock and Orange Box hitting this year along with XBLA and random other games I've been looking at..Microsoft will pretty much own my wallet! :)

I don't normally get really exclusive versions of games (I did with Gears though, and Metal Gear Solid 3 ), I don't mind the $129.99. I think this is a one-time thing; if other publishers try this price they'll get no responses, but Bungie and MS can here.

Only one concern for me. Since we are paying 130 bucks for the game if we get legendary, why don't we get the art book?

So I'm trying to not be upset that for $129.99 I don't get all the special extras. But then I really think about why I preordered the Legendary Edition in the first place...

The helmet...which I still get.

Then I think about how I looked at the special content that came with Gears of War and how I viewed the stuff once...and I start to feel a lot better about it.

Just say no to Legendary. For $129, there should be an exclusive theme and picture pack, not to mention a $50 dollar bill. That's absolutely ridiculous.

None of the above. I decided that I would not buy games anymore. I just rent them online. For the same price I could either buy three games a year or have three games out at a time for a year. Since I want to play more than three games a year I choose to rent. But I have to admit that waiting a couple of weeks after a game comes out for it to come in the mail sucks.

Umm WTF do I need a helmet for or any bonus discs. And for what you're getting for 130, you should just buy a ps2 or a DS for that price and rent H3. I'm sticking to the 59.99.

Will not purchase any of the "special" editions. Will likely not purchase Halo 3 at all. Might get used on eBay for 20 bucks in a year or so though. If I'm really hard up for something to play.

The legendary edition isn't for casual players, it's for people truly love Halo. I do have to say though, I really hope the helmet is good quality, otherwise I might feel ripped off...haha

#4 Neoxkc - I know, what the hell? If we are spending that much we should get everything. I mean its an art book (which I enjoy) but we should be getting all that stuff for that price tag. I already preordered and I knew it would be pricey but we should get all that crap.

you can pre-order the legendary edition from bestbuy for 99.99 AND you get 1600 MS Points for 5 bucks.

i heard a long time ago that the helmet is supposed to be motorcycle grade, so if that is the case, then $130 is relatively cheap. but still, why?

Its all fine and well that Bungie is being so kind to release the hefty price tag for these special editions, but Oden's Raven! WHY CANT THEY RELEASE MORE IMPORTANT INFO THAT IS ACTUALLY BENEFICIAL TO US?!?! Releasing information on how our pockets will get hammered for anything more than just the Halo 3 game should justify releasing information that will actually make Bungie/Halo fans happy. Maybe something to offset the fact that most people are going to be a little peeved and feeling negative about this new tidbit of info. I think its owed to us the Beta release date and even the actual game release date. Come the F on Bungie! Its easy for you to release information that basically says you are screwing us over, but you sure are stingy as hell when it comes to actually useful information that we actually are looking forward to. No one cares that much about how the water looks. No one cares about half of this information you give out in your ridiculous and sometimes pointless weekly updates. GIVE US SOMETHING THATS WORTH A CRAP NOT THIS BS BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE ALL SUPER SECRET SQUIRREL ON US!!!!!

$130 is just too much, I'll get the CE and buy the box from the LE on Ebay or something.

I am really hardcore too

I have a sub-domain at bungiefans.org. I talk with KP and Ninja0nFire on a weekly basis. I can always be found in the bungie.org IRC channel. I'm a frequent poster at Bungie.net.

But there is no fucking way I'll pay $130 US (Which will end up as god knows what when it reaches Australia) for a machinima series I can get free on the Internet and a doodle pack.

I'm not saying I'm the most hard-core Halo fan ever. And I'm quite thankful for that now, because only a moron would pay that much for so little.

*cough*

Yeah, I'm getting the Limited Edition. >__>;

The one thing that I haven't seen on this thread is MS is releasing 3 Versions, right? So why in the world are some knuckle Head gamers complaining about a 129.99 price tag?? By the regular Ed. and enjoy!!!!! Yes, 129.99 is a steap one indeed but look at what you get!! I'm there day one, and have had mine half paid for for well over 2 months!!

I usually don't like the junk you get in the Collector Editions, I've bought a few and pretty much felt I wasted $10.
But the Helmet thing is Pretty Cool. I might even Pony up for that.
I remember when we started complaining about $60 for Regular game prices...
