Think about how long Halo 3's campaign was. 5-8 hours, correct?
Bungie said that with ODST, it would be 3-5 hours, but they were trying to push it to more. How do we know that ODST isn't 5-8 hours? What if Bungie decided to lengthen the flashbacks, or maybe the city of New Mombasa is bigger than we thought, and we can just go around shooting Brutes if we want. And with Firefight, you have enough multiplayer there to satisfy you for a long time, maybe not as much as Halo 3, but it's still great. In Gears of War 2, Horde is the second most-played playlist behind Execution-Warzone and it's about 8 months after release, so Firefight could become as popular as everything else in Halo 3. Then, you can't forget the skulls that you can back and find, and while you may not think it, Meta-Scoring is a great system and it adds a lot of replay to the campaign. And there are also 1000 Gamerpoints to be had in ODST. And then, we get $10 maps exclusively with ODST.
Think of it this way:
$20 for Campaign (includes meta-scoring and skulls, as well as co-op)
$20 for Firefight
$10 for Maps
$5 for Invitation to the 2010 Reach Beta
$5 for earnable Recon.
Total - $60
And you could say that you aren't paying for the Recon, so that would leave it at $55, which isn't much different than $60.
And for the Limited Edition, you are only paying $40 extra dollars. A standard white Wireless 360 controller costs $50. That means the Limited Edition is underpriced.
If you want to try and justify the price more, just say that the special controller is $60, like the Halo 3 Spartan and Covenant controllers, and your ODST is only $40.
While the standard price might be a bit of a reach to say it's justified, the Limited Edition is perfectly priced.
