I know we have a Halo 3 thread already, but I wanted to post a poll on this.
I just opened up my $129.99 Legendary Edition of Halo 3 and must say I'm a bit disappointed. The version of the game included is just the regular retail version in a black DVD case. The helmet, stand and box are incredibly cool (understatement), but for $130 they should have also given us the LE tin case. Scratched discs out there aside, I have to admit that I feel a bit ripped off.
I kind of regret breaking the seals, as it now has the potential to become serious eBay fodder for me down the line. I probably wouldn't have spent the money if I knew the tin case was not going to be included. I know it is a bit of a sin to whine about having the most expensive version of something, as most people in the world can't even afford to look at the thing, but come on now. This is just like the 60 gig hard drive in the LE Halo 3 system.
<I just looked around the 'net and saw the IGN & 1UP videos of their opening the Legendary and getting the game in the tin. I didn't realize there was also a hardcover book in the tin. This is bullsh*t.>
