If you don't already have Halo 3, then it's a good buy, but if you are like most people whom purchased this game and already owned Halo 3, you'll be getting ripped off a bit.
I have Halo 3 and ODST was still a great purchase for me.
I dont care if you already have the DLC, you as the consumer (talking about everybody here) have valued all that DLC at around 20$-30$. Why should they not continue to sell that product at that price?
Its like going to McDonalds and buying a Cheeseburger and then going up to the counter again and asking for another Cheeseburger but this time with extra pickels. Your still going to have to pay for the whole thing instead of just the pickels even though you had already paid for an whole other Cheeseburger.
It is basicly the same thing here. Get over it already.
And nobody can tell you if the game is worth it or not as that is inherently biased. Make up your own mind on what your willing to spend your money on. If you feel it might be worth it then buy it. If your not sure then rent it. If you dont want to spend the money then dont. Simple as that.
I think your analogy is close, but it's a bit off.
For people that already bought the Halo 3 DLC, the analogy of the cheeseburger goes more like this:
If you already bought all the Halo 3 DLC (went to McDonalds and bought a cheeseburger), then buying ODST is like buying another cheeseburger with pickles, but only receiving the pickles, not the cheeseburger. Since we already have the Halo 3 DLC (the cheeseburger), buying ODST is like paying for another cheeseburger, but only getting the pickles (because unlike buying two cheeseburgers, I don't enjoy buying the same maps twice.)
I'm not saying that buying ODST is a bad purchase, because the analogy above is only looking at the the purchase of the maps, not everythig else in the game (i.e. the new campaign, firefight, etc.)
My personal opinion on the game though is if you already have all the Halo 3 DLC maps, and you don't have ODST yet, then you should wait a few months (or until the price drops) on buying this game, because you'll be paying for the same maps twice.
