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."

Nov 1st?

Ok, I don't really want to go into a rant about the ridiculousness of 3 versions of a single game.

However, I really don't think that Microsoft would be making a good move if they waited an entire year after PS3 and Wii's launches to release this next installment. If they can get Bungie to produce an A-Class game by the time Square releases XIII, it would be the ideal time to release.

Microsoft has a real problem with this

Why do they keep stratifying their products? Different versions of the 360, different versions of live accounts, like 6 different versions of Vista and now 3 different Halos. I find the whole thing very annoying.
