There’s a lot of hype going on about Halo 3 for the Xbox 360, and I, for one, will not be be a sucker. I don’t own an Xbox 360 and I certainly don’t plan on buying the console because of this game. I own a “regular” Xbox and I was unimpressed with Halo 1 and Halo 2. Especially with the annoying Halo 2 texture bug.

I found Halo 1 to be average with noticeable, lazy developer, “copy and paste” moments for the level design. Ho hum…

I never bought Halo 2 because of the bug and it just didn’t wow me. Zzzzz…

Now that Halo 3 is coming out, Microsoft is going nuts releasing 3 different versions of the game! There’s the simple Halo 3, Halo 3 Limited Edition, and the colossal Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

And people are actually buying the legendary version of Halo 3. There’s no way I’m spending $129 on a single game that includes a helmet!

Microsoft has even re-skinned their console into the Xbox 360 Halo 3 Special Edition. I have to admit, that green console looks cool

I was considering getting the console until I learned one strikingly surprising fact… Get ready, it’s a shocker…

It DOES NOT include the game Halo 3! Do you believe that? Isn’t that confusing? I can imagine many people missing that one little line that says “Halo 3 game is NOT included”. Considering the green version is $50 more expensive than the regular white version, you’d expect it to include the game. Boo Microsoft!
