only if their special edition is as well made as the Blizzard's special editions. Since WC3 they come with a huge book of art, friend pass, cloth map, poster, prints, DVD with real life nerd reactment of the game scene. Well worth the 30 dollar extra they charge in additional to the game.

BTW how big is that helm? Is it legal on a motorcycle?
 
What's included with this to make it so expensive?

I'm a hgue Halo fan, and with the right incentive I probably could be fooled into paying more for a game than I spent on my first console.

This is a very limited production of Halo 3 Legendary Edition which includes the Spartan VI Helmet and two bonus discs. Limit 1 unit per order.

If they included the rest of Master Chiefs suit and free shipping, this would be pretty hot. I pass.

(a pair of sub machine guns can substitute the suit anyday =p)

Well the game costs 70$ alone since its a collectors edition. So you figure you get the helmet for 60 bucks.
 
$134 shipped overnight is GREAT (I have Amazon Prime).

Considering I had one pre-ordered through ebgames when they were $100, and they duped me and said its now $130, plus overnight shipping, plus tax, for a total around $160 -- $134 is fine 🙂

And I won't even play the game -- its for my son...

Its a good deal. the people who are bashing are pc fanboys and dont know how to price these items. the collectors edition alone is 70 bucks. 60$ for the helmet isnt bad at all.
I wish i could buy this but i cant afford a xbox 360 atm. I will be able to in a few months.

I hope you're joking.... Since the helmet is the size of your fist.. The helmet goes on top of the case that holds the DVDs...

wow...

Nothing like ruining something that you paid a buttload for.

You'd be better off picking up some randomy plastic and paints from Home Depot for $20
