EBgames has started to take preorders for Halo 3, and they are showing three different versions of the game - the Standard version starting at $59.99, to the Legendary version at $99.99.
EB have also listed a release date of 1 November 2007, but that is not official and has not been confirmed by either Bungie nor Microsoft. They also note that the prices are only best estimates too and official pricing has not been announced (not that we would expect it to vary wildly from what they have listed).
Here's the breakdown on what you will be getting in each of the three packages:
Regular Edition - $59.99
Nothing much to say really :)
Collectors Edition - $69.99
Sadly EB don't have any info on this either, they note "Collector's Edition details are unavailable at this time. Once details are available they will be posted here."
Legendary Edition - $99.99
Purchase the Halo Legendary Edition and receive a Halo Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI Helmet Replica! Also includes three bonus discs that contain:
- Behind-the-scenes at Bungie Studios with new insights into the Halo Universe and the making of Halo 3.
- A special hi-res collection of all cinematics from Halo 1 and Halo 2 with director commentary from the Bungie Team bonus
- Community content from Red vs. Blue, This Spartan Life and Exclusive Gamer Tiles & a Theme
- Each unit will be serialized for added individuality and collectability
We also hear that certain Famitsu magazine scans currently circulating around the web have pictures of the aforementioned helmet replica and Legendary edition packaging.
