Alright, this is a thread to help people understand why H3 ODST (which is $60) and H3 ODST Collectors Edition (which is $100) is worth it, and if you are going to come here and say they are not, well please don't

Ok so the normal H3 ODST is worth it because...
-The game is included
-Halo 3 Multiplayer
-3 new Halo 3 Maps
- Halo reach beta
-Might now matter to some people, but you can get Recon armor (I personally don't care)

Now i guess i could try to say what they are worth...

Game=$35
Firefight=$10
H3 multiplayer=$5
3 maps=$10
Beta=free

Now the Collectors edition comes with all that and a Halo 3 ODST controller, and the cost for it is $40.

Now if you think about it, Collectors Edition is a really good deal, because you get a ODST controller that i think will not sell in stores, and $40 for a controller is a good deal because you save $20 on a controller, and it is wireless, BUT THIS MAY ONLY BE A GOOD DEAL TO OTHERS WHO NEED/WANT AN EXTRA CONTROLLER!...

Hope this helped some people, and if you see any mistakes please tell me... Please do not flame

$60 game, plus $60 controller, for $100. Learn how to add. You get $20 off.

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

It's just an expansion thou. If it were like a full game then you would see Halo 3 like collector sets.

it's not really worth it a controller isn't worth that much
i'm quite suprized they didn't stick the reach beta on it seems like the kind of thing money hungry microsoft would do
very glad they didn't though
i've preordered odst and i'm not gonna get collectors unless they add more then a controller
what would be awesome to add
new odst rookie/odst squad figure(s)
odst helmet
recon helmet
artwork /soundtrack
if it came with any of them i would get it
but i got enough controllers and they are all quite comfortabley melted to my hand shape

Thank you for posting this again, really. I don't think anyone saw the other 17 threads like this or the hundred some posts explaining this in the threads whining about the price.

Nope. None of it is worth it.

Yet, we'll all pay for it regardless.

controllers are $40


In America they are 60 USD. I'm not assuming you live in America and I'm not assuming you don't, I'm just saying the majority of Bnet users are from America and hence will tell you wireless controllers cost $60.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

Considering the game should have cost $30 regardless, and a wireless controller costs $60, we're paying $10 more than we should. Therefore it's overpriced. End of story. It's not worth it in anyway.

Well, that about covers it.

If you're in need of another controller, then ODST is worth the $99 price. Even if the controller is wired the price still rounds itself out. But since I have 4 controllers already, I won't be getting it.
