Why would anyone pay this much for the game. I wasn't going to say anything until all this Halo 3 stuff came out. The XBOX 360 console, the controllers, the headset, and now they have a backpack and a missle case which holds a few discs and a controller. And of course the Zune...

What is with all this marketing b.s.? I will be getting the Limited Edition ($69.99) from Circuit City and I am suppose to get a 4' wall graphic too, for FREE. Thats the way I like it.

So in the FUTURE people will justify spending $130+ dollars? :roll:

Anything other than the regular edition of any game is a waste of time, IMO. I don't buy collectors/limited editions/whatever unless it comes with exclusive in-game content, which it almost never does.

Regular Halo 3 FTW!

No that is not what I am saying. Basically, if there is a very nice game with a Collector's Edition, I am going to buy it. However, since this is Halo we are talking about and its a legend then I will be buying Legenday.

No game is worth that much. Hell, you can buy a DS for that much money. Regular edition for me.

1 game shouldn't cost more than $50. $130 for 2 games is too much to pay but if you want to spend that much then go ahead. I'll wait patiently for game prices to go down.

I can't say that I can justify besides saying it's my money and I will spend it the way I want. Plus I am a game collector so that is one of the main reason why I bought the Legendary edition. I have a feeling that when it releases then you will see a lot of people selling theirs on Ebay or Amazon Marketplace, just like when I saw the Bioshock LE on Amazon for the low price of $130.00 and that was the lowest of all the prices. It may seem like a waste of money but I bet this Legendary edition will make a pretty penny in the future if I were ever in need of some extra money.

Since you can get the normal H3 edition I don't see the point in the legendary one. However, if there was only one version of H3 which costed 130 I would get it. The online mode will last for a very long time unlike SP games that get old in a few weeks (i'm looking at you Bioshock)

Hell you can get the new PSP 2000 model for $169.99, $130 for Halo 3 Legendary, I would only pay that much if it was my one of my favorite games of all time with extras 2x as good as what they're giving. I'll get 2 games for that price, or almost 10 used games.

Can you justify paying that much? No. Am I paying that much anyway? Yes.

Why? I'm collecting everything Halo 3. Seariously, I've never collected anything before, but I boughta 12 pack of Game fuel, saved 2 cans, bought the 12 ounce bottle, didn't open it, then pre-ordered the controllers... after that, I decided I'd just get it all, from the Todd McFarlane statues to the ubber expensive version of the game. Hell, if Burger King releases Halo 3 toys, I'll get those. I didn't buy anything Halo other than the original versions of the games before, but I'm just going all the way this time... hell, maybe I'll sell it all many years later in mint condition and make a couple thousand dollars. IDK, all I know is $130 is a lot to ask for a game, and there's NOTHING you can say to justify it, you just hop aboard the fanboy wagon and take a ride. It's not so bad, as this, Bioshock, and Mass Effect will be the only games I've purchased this year. I've been playing Halo 2 and Gears the whole time, panting for this game...
