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."

Good move on Bungie's part. I can really see where they are coming with this. Trying to reach out to all of the fans, hardcore to complete newcomer. They tried this with Halo 2, also. Except that one came with 2 discs, and the bonus one was quite good. 4 discs should be just great.
Does anyone know of links that show the replica helmet, especially its actual dimensions? I looked at Gamestop.com and they have yet to provide any images or dimensions for the helmet. Although either would be a nice addition to a Halo fanatic's collection; there's a big difference between a wearable replica and an e.g. 2/3 scale. ;)
