Halo 3: ODST is only an expansion pack for a game, and yet it costs the price of a full game. This is outrageous. Most expansion packs cost $20-30. You may argue it contains another campaign, but it's not a full gaming experience.

The strongest Rivals are also the strongest allies.

$9.99

That's pretty good for 2 hours of music without explosions and people yelling. I don't care if you steal it, but God does...

Sez u.

Full campaign (keep in mind that halo's campaign was, like, 6 hours)
FireFight (Full multiplayer with at least three maps, almost certainly more)
All of the Halo 3 multiplayer maps, including the ones that haven't been released yet (Legendary: 600. Mythic: 800. Mythic II: value of 800. That's 2200, or about $27.50 USD)
Reach MP beta

I would pay $60 for the first one alone. But if you don't think it's worth it, feel free to not buy it.

And it's not like Bungie set the price. That would be the publisher, aka Macrosoft.

-I was here

first of all, its not just an expansion, it has an entirely new campaign and firefight mode so, it is its own game. also the price will drop eventually but when it first comes out, they need to make it expensive to cover the cost of making each individual game disc AND to pay for all of the development costs(makig a game isnt easy) and plus, they need some money to pay their employees(they dont have slave labor) and if you've got a problem with the cost, blame stosh or just wait till its cheaper then buy it

Talk to the Bones

The game come with halo 3's multyplayer, all the map packs including the 3 exclusive odst ones, forge, theater mode, a new campaign, a fire fight mode, and an invitation to a multyplayer beta

If any thing, the game is underpriced considering how microsoft prices its games
