We are NOT assuming that ODST would be priced $30 as standalone content; we KNOW that ODST is worth $30 as standalone content. How? Because Bungie confirmed it themselves that it was around $30 in one of their older weekly updates.
orly? When you throw around facts, you are expected to back those facts up with links. When you show me a link that has a Bungie employee (or MS, for that matter) that says the Halo 3: ODST campaign and Firefight experience, in its "Gold" stage, is worth $30, I will stand corrected. Until then, you're flat wrong.
I can't remember where they stated it, but I will link the information when I find the site. I would explain to you my own reasoning for Halo 3: ODST being worth $30 as standalone content , but The_Omen took the words right out of my mouth.

The overhead in this case actually is lower than Halo 3's because it took more man power to make Halo 3 than ODST (hence the smaller dev team). It also took less materials to make it (same engine, rehashed character models etc)
Variable cost is volume-related (and are paid per quantity). How exactly does this relate to the fact that we're paying for something twice?
Wouldn't this mean that the cost heightens depending on the quantity of the package? Well the quantity here heighten because of the addition of Halo 3 multiplayer. It is stated in the links I've provided in my past posts. You're interpreting it wrong. I, Kotaku, Joystiq, and 59 others have interpreted it correctly.
it's not like MS is going to flat out say "WE'RE ROBBING YOU". They're saying it in a way that will confuse people.
