lol How about instead of being condescending you TRY to explain how ODST is worth $60 to anyone who already has H3.
Fact is, the price point of a game isn't decided by what this or that potential buyer already bought, or not. Some buyers will have Halo 3. Others won't. It's irrelevant to the decision on the price point, ultimately.
The price point is decided based on marketing issues, i.e. getting the most sales out of the highest price point one can get, mainly.
Now, each Halo fan who already has the Halo 3 game is presented with ODST, for $60, which includes a new Campaign, a new Firefight game mode, all the map packs, Forge, Theater etc on a single disc that you can carry around with you, and potentially getting Recon perms.
For some people, getting the Recon perms will be worth the sixty bucks. It's not my case, and it seems pretty clear it isn't your case either, but for some people, it is.
Others will think that any new Campaign experience in the Haloverse and/or Firefight is worth the price tag alone, regardless of the Mythic disc. I'm actually one of them, there.
Others yet will consider that Heretic and the access to the MLG playlist was enough for them to buy the whole game, whatever its other contents were.
My point is: it's a matter of personal perspective.
It's well worth $60 for me. I play this game way more than others I already own. I have not wasted my money, personally, though it might be your case, depending on what you were searching for with this game, originally.
