Today I pre-ordered my Halo 3: ODST game from Gamestation.co.uk for £29.99 with free delivery.

I've included a links to websites selling the game for cheaper than RRP:

Gamestation.co.uk
http://www.gamestation.co.uk/Xbox360/Action/Shooter/~r416539/ HaloODST/

Game.co.uk
http://www.game.co.uk/Xbox360/Action/Shooter/~r342218/Halo-3-O DST-including-Halo-Reach-BETA-Access/?s=odst

Amazon.co.uk
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Halo-3-ODST-Xbox-360/dp/B001KBYU0Y/re f=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1245425856&sr=8 -1

The RRP in the UK is currently £39.99 and delivery costs at some other retailers.



According to a recent news article from Bungie Gamestation are including the Sergeant Johnson pre-order bonus:

For a major game chain, that's bloody awesome. Looks like the retailers here haven't cottoned onto this 'it's full price' thing yet.

thirty pounds roughly equals sixty bucks incase nobody knows that.

Apparently Gamestation aren't the only ones offering this price, I have added more links to online stores.

£30 = 49.33200$

:) Too bad America, looks like Britain gets one up on this front!


I'm preordering it from Game (same company as Gamestation). Argos has it listed for 27.99 but with no Johnson.

I started out with nothing and I still have most of it left.

So, how fast do GameStation deliver?

I was going to use Play.com because I usually get games the day/day before release, but they're still charging £39.99...

Any help?

£30 is a ridiculous price to charge for an add-on. Unless this is actually bringing around 20 hours gameplay it shouldnt be the same price as a full game. It should be the same as the GTA IV DLC or DLC for Fallout 3, between £10 and £15

And here in Canada... 70$... WTF... When did Canada ever do bad?

Does anyone even look at these?

I don't know about GameStation, but I do know that when I pre-ordered Halo Wars from GAME, I got it 1 or 2 days early.

ODST is not DLC. It is a full game.

YAY GAMESTATION.

OP, you are my hero for reminding me of this :D

Of course, Bungie are bigger heroes for making it happen. Specifically urk.

Edit: Just preordered. I feel awesome.

It is not a full game, a full game would be at least 15 hours gameplay this offers 3-5 it was annouced as a DLC expansion

Well Halo 3 was £30 and had coop, longer campaign and more maps so how is something with less maps, less campaign and only 1 additional multiplayer function worth the same?
