Three Retail Versions of Halo 3

Gamasutra reports on the three versions of Halo 3 you can now preorder from Gamestop and EB. Aside from the 'normal' edition ($5), you can also spring for the collector's edition ($10) with videos and such. For a down-payment of $25, you can pre-order the 'Legendary' edition. From the article: "The Legendary Edition will come on four discs and will include all the content of the Collector's Edition plus unspecified extras and a Master Chief helmet replica. The release date for all three versions of the game is listed as November 1st, 2007 - although no official announcement on a date has been made by Microsoft and the date is likely a placeholder by the stores."

The $5, $10, and $25 prices shown here are the pre-order deposits. The real full prices are $59.99, $69.99, and $99.99 (respectively).

To make more money. It's called market segmentation: you make different (possibly artificial) levels of your product, in order that you can sell cheap ones to poor people and expensive ones to the rich, thus making more total money than if you just sold at one price.
