Halo 3 Legendary Edition Price Revealed
Previously thought to cost $99.99, the limited release will in fact set you back $129.99. At more than twice the cost of the regular edition, still slated at a $59.99 price, the Legendary Edition is truly for the hardcore fans. New details have also emerged surrounding exactly what the Legendary Edition will include. The previously announced Spartan helmet case is still in alongside two bonus disks of extra content. The first disk holds behind-the-scenes footage including a high-definition documentary titled "Making of Halo 3." This disk will also include an audio-video calibration tool designed by Bungie to help gamers get the most out of their home theater systems. The second disk will house remastered cinematics from Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 with new developer commentary as well as a featurette documenting life at Bungie. Last, but not least, the Legendary Edition will come with a set of Halo 3 storyboard art from Lee Wilson. If $129.99 seems pricey for that set of schwag, the more modestly priced Limited Edition may be for you. This release comes at a suggested retail price of $69.99 and is similar to what you’d expect out of most collectors’ editions. The first bonus disk found in the Legendary Edition (that being the one with the "Making of Halo 3" documentary) will be included in this release as well as a Halo fiction and art book. It all comes in a metal collector’s case that won’t elicit nearly as much jealousy as the Spartan helmet case found in the Legendary Edition. Of course, you’ll want to purchase all three versions of Halo 3 if you’re a real fan. It’s only $260. No big deal.Source: http://www.ign.com
