This actually got my hopes up. I thought this was going to be a combination of the various actual boards from Halo 1, 2, and 3.

I would think that a "Best of Halo" pack would include the first Halo, not Halo 3... Halo 3 sucked, period. Overhyped. I thought the first one was way better... If they made a 360 bundle with Halo:CE I think I would actually consider buying a 360, just for that :)

I didn't suck that much, but it was a bit of a dissapointed. They did do a hell of a job marketing it though before release date. The thing I was most dissapointed about was with the "slightly" improved graphics, and almost same repetative gameplay. I honestly had much more fun with Halo 2 than with Halo 3.

Both Gears and Halo are hugh fanchises on their own. Gears started off great, so did Halo, just that Halo 3 didn't live up to all its hype. I hope they save the next gears and halo for the next xbox, and leave off with a big bang. Kinda getting tired of how many bundles their are for the 360.

This bundle is to compete head on with Killzone 2, since EU enjoyed the first KZ more then US, to hopefully sway EU gamers to not purchase a PS3 with Killzone 2 and instead to get this bundle. We'll just have to wait and see if this move of MS will be effective.

Lets get something set straight here if you didnt have Xbox live you loved halo 3 if you did have xbox live and you played halo 3 excessivly you hated bungie so much for the games online gameplay and the lack of them trying to approve it properly. If they had fixed the online gameplay at launch i dont think people would have talked so much shit about halo 3. The single player was one of the best a game offered. So please dont knock it too much especially if you wearnt a online player

So where is our bundle (the USA) supposed to come? I mean it is not like we don't deserve this. After all, what's XBOX 360 w/o Halo in it?

Hey Morreale I'm betting that you didn't even play the game set on Legendary cuz if you did then you would have noticed the difference in not only gameplay versus the easier modes but also the ending which you hate so much. Let me spell it out for you... Master Chief didn't die...and there is going to be another story with him in it. And if you take the cue from Bungie, they said that they always intended for MC to be the hero in Marathon. If you are at all familiar with Marathon then you will notice how it begins meshes perfectly with the ending in Halo 3 on Legendary which by the way can watch at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yygn_vlH5a4

I've only played it on Legendary :/
What difference does that make to the story? It's just harder lol
And yes if Halo 3 really was the last one then yes the ending was just horrible. Jumps on a ship and freezes himself or whatever and that's the end of that.
