Three Editions of Halo 3 Coming

We just released details about the SKU details for Halo 3, including the collectible Legendary Edition that comes with documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, developer commentaries, rare art and more.

Halo 3 will come in Standard Edition, Limited Edition and Legendary Edition.

The Legendary Edition ($129.99 U.S.) will be released in limited quantities and arrive in a collectible Spartan helmet case, along with two bonus discs full of supplemental content, and a collection of original Halo 3 storyboard art from artist Lee Wilson.

The Limited Edition ($69.99 U.S.), in a metal collector?s case, contains one of the bonus discs from the Legendary Edition, and a special Halo fiction and art book.

The Standard Edition ($59.99 U.S.) will have a shiny disc featuring beautiful artwork painted on one side, and, just for fun, the bits for Halo 3 on the other side.

More details can be found in the media alert we sent out this morningSource:b> Gamerscore Blog

i thought this was known months ago? :p

anyhow, I'm going for limited edition, the legendary seems to be waaaay too expensive for the extra's you get.

besides, one of my pals will get legendary so I'll just borrow his extra dvd's sometime :p

I'll take my spartan helmet and shine it up real nice and put it on my wall. Yep. I was hoping it'd be less than $130 but thats okay.

Makes me sad that I won't be buying Legendary. I would've loved to get the extra information about Halo. (don't care about helmet) so probably will go with Limited.

On a lighter note,

I hope the standard edition does not come with all fancy graphics turned off ala Home Basic. :D

Spartan_X, are there any "N" editions planned for EU ? :rofl:

I did not know this!

That sucks! Why is everything Microsoft coming out in a bazillion versions?

Yea, that's true. It's not just Microsoft now, though. It seems as though they have started a trend as of late. PS3 2SKUs, Adobe Photoshop CS3 2SKUs, etc. Likewise with the "360" bit: Yahoo! 360, Norton 360, etc.

Oh, Microsoft, you trend-setter. :p :laugh:

I just got the email from GameStop/EBGames they changed my order of Halo 3 Legendary Edition from 99.99 to 129.99. I would keep as it is, I would love to have high quality cut sequence of the first 2 halo games.

Legendary edition is $149.99 here in Canada. No thanks, that's more then a PS2 costs! But I will most likely pick up the Limited edition, since I did the same for Halo 2.

Talk about milking :D

I'll get the standard version, the Lengedary Version's helmet is too small.

lol if i were to pay that much for the legendary version, i would at least expect a helmet that you can actually wear ;)

Legendary and even Limited aren't for everyone, just the hardcore Halo fans. MS knows this, and that's why they're taking advantage of it. If it wasn't as big of a game as it is, we'd only have 1 version and that'd be the end of it.

It'd be nice if we could get detailed sales information for each of the 3 SKUs though, I'd be interested in seeing which sells more.

Damn, what happened to the $50 first party limit. Oh well, I'll just get the Standard Edition as I don't really care about the extras.

I was wondering the same thing. People were saying GeOW was $60 because it wasn't developed in-house, but I wasn't going to put it past MS to ignore their $50 price limit for Halo 3. I'll be buying it, of course, but I hope they stick to $50 for their other titles. It made choosing titles such as Kameo and Viva Pinata an easier decision for me.

As everyone has said, now that legendary is $130 it's bit too high. I'm thinking about passing on, don't know yet.
