$130 for Halo 3 !?!

Got this from 1up.com

Sure, this is all just esimates, but still... $130! Sure there is the normal game, $60, then the Limited Edition, $70, but now the magic number of $130 is being thrown around for the Ubber-Awesome pack. Yeah, there is no way I can afford that or beg and plee with my parents to purchase me a game that is $130, and on top of that, we don' t have an HD screen yet so... I' m gonna have to pass for this... but who' s going to buy the $130 pack?!?

...Random Madness, Forward...

Collectors would do it!

I think i might opt for the standard collectors edition and not go legendary. paying that kind of moeny for a game is too much!

Even though it is a bit " pricy" i intend to buy it

" One who knows nothing can understand nothing"

I cant see it being $130, but i can see it around $100

Never mind that last statement

Microsoft put out a press release this morning, and finally revealed the awesome new packaging for the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, along with the red-faced admission that it’s going to be $30 more expensive than the estimated retail price used by retailers for pre-orders. Much as they telegraphed the fact that this price and content could be subject to change, it’s fair to say that these things usually don’t change. So apologies for that, but I think hardcore collectors (at whom the Legendary Edition is squarely aimed) will be pleased with the end result. The thing is truly lovely in real life, from the finish of the helmet itself, to the operation of the box and its sleeve. It reeks of quality and attention to detail (as it should at that price) and for fans, it’s probably worth every penny.

I dunno, it just says 30 more than regular price, so i guess it could be anywhere from $110-$130.

EDIT: i just noticed that 1up has Halo 3' s release date set as 9/15

Not worth it!

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I have problems paying $60 for something that costs 98 cents to make in the first place. Why would I pay more than double the original price of the game for some artwork, a helmet, and maybe a 45 minute making of DVD.

And oh... if it does cost 130, it' s realistically going to cost 140 for me. Big purchases screw you with income tax.[:' (]

I would laugh at the people who claim the ps3 is too expensive and then buy this. Ha.

In that same weekly update, Frankie mentions that Bungie employees themselves are having to pre-order it and hope they get one. Could just be hype, but if it is actually that scarce you could end up seeing them on eBay for somewhat more than $130.

Its not really that bad for someone who is a big fan of it and is willing to pay that much for it. Besides that, a ps3 is $600, and a 360 and the legendary Halo 3 is $530 which is enough of a reason to buy a 360 in the beginning.

Unless you dont enjoy Halo.

Halo is over rated, but dont worry my dear friends the its not the most hyped game ever. That award goes to Half Life.

agreed. I hated half life, but im gonna buy the half life box set that comes with HLep1 and 2, team fortress 2, and portal just so i can play team fortress and maybe portal

Team fortress 2 and portal looking good. But not 60euro good for what essinitally are extras.

I just think team fortress looked fun for online play, and portal looked like it could keep me entertained for somewhere between an hour and a week

Portal is 4 hours long.

I' ll probably find some way to get myself stuck in an everlasting hole and never get out

I want that big set with HL 1&2 (never played them) and TF2 with Portal. Both the new Team Fortress and Portal look very good.

As for Halo 3 I' ll probably buy the cheapest version, I don' t want all that extra junk they pack with them. I' d rather spend the extra money on another game or even a movie.

Half-Life 1 or HL2? There is a big difference between the two.

Half-Life one came out at a time when FPS was stagnant, and gave birth to a lot of great things in the FPS genre. Not only was the single player great, the multiplayer deathmatch, TFC, and CS quickly overtook all other online FPS games. It deserved the reviews it got because it did a lot of things nobody had managed to do before.

Half-life 2 got barely any hype compared to Halo. I never saw news stories about HL2, but I saw a lot about Halo 2.

I think half life 2 is a great game, the balance of weapons and the gameplay is great, it is missing some in the story department though! ohh and the scripted scenes are much better than anything else iv seen!

Don' t be suprized if you' ll end up loving the HL2 pack more than any other 360 FPS out there (including Halo 3).

Its not the HL games i will be playing, i just want the other stuff.... nothing else. Theres like a 12% chance i will even put the disc in my 360

The only good fps games on 360 right now are CoD2 (a launch game) and Rainbow Six: Vegas. Everything else sucks ass.

Half Life 2: Orange looks fantastic and Halo 3 will be massive. But fuck em both, ...give me The Darkness!

I just got that bad feeling the darkness and Dark Sector are in the same category. The ' its going to turn out shit category' .

Hopefully my awesome categoring skills are wrong.

Darkness' new trailer looks generic, but I have faith in Starbreeze, look what they did with Riddick.

Orange Box and Halo 3 are 2 of my top 5 most wanted 07 titles, so I hope they both live up to the hype.

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Dionysius has returned in shame. Once again I' m experiencing a period in my life when I am bored enough to spend my free time posting in forums. Therefore I turn to the best forum out there. Yes, I meant Kikizo.

I actually met with Starbreeze recently, we discussed various things, like employment and game design, as well as programming for the different plattforms that darkness is heading for (amongst other things).

They also showed off their Darkness game, and I have to say that the only thing i found cool about the game, was those monster eel arm thingies (of course I did not say that to them). Otherwise the game does look very much like one amongst the other no names. I could be proven wrong, (though that would be a first ), however my senses tell me this game is not meant for me, and most likely it will turn out an " O.K" game.

All I had to say.

BTW: 130 for Halo 3 is too much for me, but a bargain for the fans... maybe.

That kind of price is taking advantage of big fans. I can' t complain though, I would do it too. However, I would make sure that you aren' t at a disadvantage in any way by purchasing the basic game though. If " premium" , and " epic" purchasers got anything in game, other than " behind the scenes" and " the making of" footage, I would be disappointed.

If people wanna buy that stuff, its up to them. Lets just hope this doesn' t catch on for other games. I guess, " core" and " premium" systems aren' t enough, now we need " core" and " premium" games to go with them.

lmao, you guys are never gonna believe this. I was sitting there thinking, man i want the halo 3 legendary edition, but $130, is just a little too much. Then right as i was thinking it i saw a 100 dollar bill laying at the bottom of my driveway. My lucky day! someone else' s unlucky day.
