Got a call from my store manager tonight saying Halo 3 reserves will start tomorrow (11/1), and that there will be three versions. After checking out gs.com I saw this:
Halo 3 - 59.99
Collectors - 69.99
Legendary w/ Helmet - 99.99
Not trying to spam or anything, just thought some of you guys (read: Opaque) would like to know.
Reserving anything before the release date is announced is pointless. Even for Halo 3.
Agreed, it only leads to people yelling at me.
"What! I reserved that game two years ago! I want my fucking money back!"
:wtf:Quote:

A year beforehand?
LAWWWWWWWWWWWL
This almost seems like compensating for taking fuck forever to get PS3 and Wii reserves out the door.
Halo 3 will probably see several delays, anyway.
I doubt it. It's mid-Nov. '07 or bust.
For you maybe, but I know there are a ton of retards who'll go ape shit over it no matter when it comes out.
I think you've been here long enough for it to be safe to advertise an upcoming deal. I'll can wait for Halo 3. I had fun in Halo but Halo 2 was really quite bland. Halo's repetitive level design was shit too though.Quote:

I just got back form work again and read the email highlighting it. From what I read the legendary is just the collectors edition but with a helmet, but I could be wrong.Quote:

What's the big deal?
Who in the hell wants a Halo motorcycle helmet?
Does it at least look like Master Chief's?

I guess the Halo series is the PC illiterate/poor-man's version of (insert popular long running PC FPS here).
Also, anyone who rides around in a $30, or less, motorcycle helmet just because it says Halo 3 is f'in nuts.
for the love of god i hope it doesn't say Halo 3 on it. Not that this is gonna end up being cool in my eyes, but having a replica helmet emblazoned with "HALO 3" would totally ruin it.
You take to the to speculate what the helmet will be in this thread, yet you can't take 10 seconds to type "Halo 3 Legendary" into Google to find out the real information about what comes with it. :tu:

That's a pretty nice looking helmet there. I was close to doing a search once I posted that, but I didn't feel it was worth the time and went to get something to eat.
I'll run into anyone wearing this helmet whilst motorcycling.
You can't wear it dingus. It's display piece that holds the discs too.
That's so lame that you can't wear it. For $30 extra, it should also function as the next year's Halloween apparel. As is, it's just a shiny dust collector.
People will still go apeshit over it. I think it'll make a good addition to any decked-out gaming room, and $30 doesn't seem that bad for a novelty like this.Quote:

1up has some fat-headed cats.
It's at least an inch or so wider than the width of a DVD case, considering it fits over them on the stand.
It's so that Bungie/MS avoids potential liability when you're banging your head on the wall because of delay after inevitable delay.Quote:

Yeah, I remember when Halo 2 kept getting delayed.Quote:
