Wait, you are saying that if I don't pre order the legendary edition, I won't get it!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH......is that true, (whisper) please let it not be true, please let it not be true.

so does this mean the halo3 legendary edition is numbered? so there is only a fixed amount of legendary edtions sold, and no more made? if thats so, that would make me a sad panda.

Feakin sweet, even I can get it in the UK, dudes, you've just given me another reason to spend my B'day money.$130 thats like £66 [Edited on 3/17/2007]

i hope the AI is so much better. i cant wait to whoop some @$$ and laugh about it. the legendary pack looks like it is worth the extra money as well. im getting it! cant wait! [Edited on 3/17/2007]

When I saw the price change announcement on IGN.com I was hoping that the price was going to be lowered. Turns out the price went up. $100 sounded like a nice deal, but $130 is just way over-priced. After all, this is JUST a game. Collector's edition for me.

What i find particularly interesting is that ive had the legendary edition of halo 3 reserved since late december. I was looking around at gamestop.com when i just so happened to see this little tid bit of information and bungie is just now saying something about it, that is unless bungie has listed it earlier then im going to look like a dumbass. Maybe someone can tell me why this is?? [Edited on 3/17/2007]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shazla So is there any news of a EURO release for the legendary edition?[/quote] Well, seeing what they did with Halo 2, I would damn well hope that Halo 3 releases on Europe within the same week as it does in the US. And if the legendary edition wasn't available at all, I would be... Displeased, to say the least. OMG, the main colour pallette choice for halo 3 is: PINK! Wow. I'm going to have so much fun getting the legendary achievements. Edit: How the heck do so many people post so fast these days!? Stupid time-zones making it it the dead of night over here before Frankie posts it. [Edited on 3/17/2007]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] shazla So is there any news of a EURO release for the legendary edition?[/quote] Who knows? But you can set up an email alert for when it becomes avaliable at play.com and you can pre-order the limited edition version. Hope that helps.

"Halo 3 Slated for September Microsoft pushes for early fall system-selling spree to kick off holiday season. by Douglass C. Perry March 15, 2007 - Microsoft Game Studios and Bungie Studios aim to ship Halo 3 in September, well before the biggest holiday rush begins, IGN learned last week from two independent sources who asked to remain anonymous. A big-name publisher and well-established development house separately revealed to IGN that Microsoft intends on beating this year's stacked holiday rush with a September release, rather than the assumed November timeframe. When phoned, a Microsoft representative said it has only publicly confirmed a fall release, with no specific day or month slated. The developer, which is close with Bungie, said by getting Halo 3 out early it will sell more systems faster and give Microsoft a head start on its competition, which is likely to ship games in the more traditional months of October and November. Halo 3's popularity makes it the perfect killer app and system seller to give Microsoft an edge over Sony's and Nintendo's hefty set of games coming this fall. The original Halo shipped with the launch of the first Xbox in November 2001. The sequel, Halo 2, shipped in November 2004. With both games, Microsoft's strategy was to give Bungie as much time as possible to hone and polish their title before reaching QA and the finalization process. But this time, Bungie is on schedule and aims to surprise the world by shipping two months earlier than assumed. IGN was told that was the goal, at least. With all development processes, nothing is certain, both added. Halo 3 could need another month or two, pushing it to October or the assumed November slot if necessary." this is taken of ign !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
