I just went to pre-order my Halo: ODST game but then didn't as it was going to cost £54 (American: $90), now I know Bungie doesn't choose the price but I thought it was confirmed $60 which for me as I'm English would be £36. And what makes me laugh about this whole thing is that this isn't even the Limited edition price!!!

The AR is an awesome weapon, RESPECT IT AS SUCH!!!

where did you order it from? the place probably hasent been given an accurate price yet, just try again in like a month or two, it should be sorted out by then

Are you sure this isn't the retailer who decided on that price rather than Bungie?

Sounds to me like you could get it cheaper from other retailers. Have you tried?

ah, sorry bout that, must have skipped over it. reguardless, that's a decent money difference.

Great Scott!

Ya know what sucks? I went to the GAME website and saw they didn't have it for pre-order, which was weird so it looks like Gamestation is the only game store where I live that has ODST for pre-order (at £54.99!) so far. Hopefully GAME will put it up from pre-order with a cheaper price soon.

i woke a bit ago and my son was playing halo 3 he was on forge i saw at the bottom of the screen was a charge for 35 dollars is that real or not did he charge 35 bucks or is that justfor the in game

-NO RECUITMENT MESSAGES PLEASE

I just checked GAME, and they do have it up. For £54.99.

I'm pretty sure they don;t know what the RRP is going to be, so they put it up at that price til they get better pricing details.

At any rate, Amazon has it for cheaper.

War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

jesus, i was gonna preorder from gamestation or game >_> great looks like im gonna have to pay a ridiculous amount. Im gonna get the Special edition too :'(

actually i just took a look at the link, and i realised in the description it says Halo3: Recon. So maybe the page hasnt been redone in a while so their is still a chance

This is awesome given the fact that bungie promised in one of their weekly updates that the game wouldn't go for more than $40. No way I am buying it at 60.

Hey I heard from my friend via Xbox live that if you Pre-order a Halo: ODST from Game stop you get a free Limited edition Halo ODST controller? Is this true? Also What extras do you get with the Limited edition ODST? Does anyone know if it is worth buying the LE version ?

This is true, they keep saying it's more of a add on than a complete game.. Yet for that price I would consider it a completely new game.

It's 59.99 USD, and 69.99 CDN. You are surely mistaken, or you may have ordered the Legendary Edition version, which goes for $100 USD.

Either way, I'm getting the Legendary one, I need a new controller (and it looks -blam!- sweet!), and the campaign and Firefight, along with a new copy of Halo 3 multiplayer, plus 3 exclusive maps - that's definitely worth the price in my books...

No it is you who is mistaken, look at the link before you comment next. It's £54, at Game and at Gamestation, I know it's $60 in the U.S but I was just showing you how much I have to pay, if i have to pay £54(which i won't) it would cost you $90.. But i will just buy from amazon.

  • 06.04.2009 8:40 AM PDT

Yeah go with Amazon or Play.com both offer free postage and both charge a much Fairer price at £40 or lower.

He's talking about the UK price British pounds and US dollars are completely different.
For Example
1 British Pound=Around 2 American Dollars
