Rating: - Excellent Case for all 3 games
I wasn't one bit interested in the extra footage or informaton on Halo so I ended up selling the extra content and used the helmet case to house all 3 Halo games. Seems fitting and looks pretty cool on the shelf. To each their own I don't have any comments on extra footage but as a case this is pretty neat.

Rating: - Gettin some head from Halo
I got lucky and happened to run across the Legendary edition of Halo 3 on sale for 60 bucks. I like Halo 3 a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a fanboy or nothing. I don't think I would've bought the legendary edition for regular price for what is included with it. I've seen the Spartan helmet on ebay for around 40 bucks. The extra content is okay, but I don't think it's worth that much. It would've been nice to include something else like a plasma grenade or action figure with it. All in all It's still an awesome game, and hopefully next time Bungie does something else with the franchise they include a lil something extra with the "legendary edition" of whatever it is they're making.
Rating: - Halo 3 LE- game as good as expected, extras not so much
I'm going to make my game review quick, because we really want to move on to the extras included with Legendary Edition. Halo 3 as a game is pretty much as most players expected - good, but nothing revolutionary or great. A decent variety of maps (but not hardly enough, even after the expansion pack), solid gameplay, an okay single player campaign, and a few cool modes make it fairly enjoyable - for a month or two, at most. That's when you begin to understand that the game is just repetitive, more slow-paced than most other FPS games, and has very sluggish controls. Picture the physics playing Call of Duty 4 on the moon, in a spacesuit, and you've pretty much got Halo 3 in a nutshell.
Now, as for Legendary Edition...
I already owned the standard Halo 3, and only purchased LE because it was $60. Why? No idea. It comes with some interesting extras - an entire extra DVD of videos, making-of content, and an art book. It also comes with a Spartan helmet - which you might not know, but CANNOT be worn. It stupidly has a plastic bottom mold that can only fit on the display stand it comes with - and after attempted tries to unscrew/disassemble this interior of the helmet, I found the only way you could possibly do it would be to break out the insides, and subsequently destroy it. Now I'm sure not everyone is really interested in goofing around and wearing the helmet - but I mean, let's be realistic here: what else are you supposed to do with it? For the standard $140 or whatever the price tag originally was, these extras are laughable at best. You get the world's coolest-looking paperweight, but that's about it.
If you liked Halo 2, you'll obviously like Halo 3, but only the most avid of competitive FPS gamer will keep playing it for more than a month or two. And the extras in LE are NOT worth the hefty price tag. If you can find a deal like I did, jump on it, but otherwise just go for the standard edition.
