Subject: This is a really bad joke yeah?

The prices on games in the UK are astronomical...
I was going to pre-order it from GAME, but I went on their website, but £55 is ridiculous.
I'm going to go down and pre-order a collectors edition from blockbuster, their prices are OK usually.

You americans don't know how easy you have it lol...

There are many powers in the world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not yet been measured. But my time is coming.

I never said it cost $90 I was just showing you how much £54 is in American Dollars so you can understand how much we have to pay from these places, as the English pound is worth more than the American dollar.

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

Don't ever pay more than £40 for a brand new, sealed, non-LE edition of ANY game. Just. Don't.

Game and Gamestation trying to get £50 for it? -blam!- off.

Pre-order Halo:ODST cost 59 euro in the Netherlands, thats 83 US dollars. I think that u pay arround 60$ and that games in europe cost more mony than in the USA.

Wielding a double-bladed chainsaw, wearing a potato sack on your head and spinning around mindlessly is amiably quick at getting anything done

My girlfriend's brother works at Gamestation and he says it definitely won't cost that much.

I'm also lucky he can get me games at a 20% discount :)

P.S. If you pre-order it now for £55, you won't actually have to pay that much on the day it comes out.

I pre-ordered Halo Wars LCE for £50, but ended up paying only £40 when it came out.

You Clicked my More button

WHO SAID YOU COULD CLICK ON MY MORE BUTTON!

Calm down everyone theres nothing wrong with game or gamesation give them a chance to get the right info. The dam halo 3 odst part of game.co.uk was only put up yesterday and i dont think they evan have a box photo yet. They only have herd about the game and were told to put it up on the site, but thats it so they have to go by the info from the us, so in the us its like $60, $90 whatever the price, they have to go by that info(which is probly not correct) so they have to put down something and they put down £54, so every body calm the hell down!

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 multi player, 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.
Ok then...so just go to another store, or, shop online - Amazon.co.uk or Play.com (UK).

There we go:

It appears that Gamestation has just mixed up the prices...
