Pre-Order ODST in the UK for Budget Price [Updated]
Written Wednesday, June 17, 2009 by Dan Webb


So remember the whole "who-haa" regarding the price for the upcoming Halo 3: ODST title? You know, the whole, "it'll be value," "yada yada," "it'll now be full price."

Well UK retailer Argos currently has the title listed for £26.99 including delivery ... which effectively makes it a budget title for the UK folk. Fancy that!

A pretty damn good deal if you ask us, especially considering everywhere else in the UK has it listed for £40 and everywhere in the US has it listed at $60.

Let's just hope this turns out to be genuine and not some typical retailer mistake that they later retract. If the worst comes to the worst, you can cancel your pre-order and send a ton of complaints to Argos. So it's win-win.

Pre-Order Halo 3: ODST from Argos in the UK for £26.99.

[Update] So it appears the price seems to be a conscious move rather than a slip up. The captions at the bottom state two things:

1. "Argos will never knowingly oversell Halo 3: ODST." Ha!
2. "Current selling price valid until 24/07/2009"

So beware ... this offer is only open for a limited time. Quite a big window if you ask me, but it won't be like this forever ... so act fast! (Thanks Chris!)

Pre Order ODST to Get Johnson as Playable Firefight Character
Written Thursday, June 18, 2009 by Dan Webb


Microsoft just announced that those who pre-order Halo 3: ODST from participating retailers will get Sgt. Johnson as a playable character in the Firefight mode found within the upcoming title.

What's Firefight you ask? Microsoft explains it as ...

"Firefight will put you to the test as you and your friends assume the role of an ODST squad and fight together to take on increasingly challenging waves of enemies. It’s where new “Halo” heroes will be born, and an opportunity to step into the boots of a legend."

We just say "horde."

I can just see it now ... a ton of Johnson's running around killing Covenant shouting "die you maggot!"

For those in the UK who preordered from the heads up regarding the cheap Argos price yesterday, I somehow doubt that you'll be getting this. Either way, which would you prefer, £13 in your back pocket, or a Sgt Johnson character in Firefight that you won't be able to see. I'm guessing the cash.

If you've not yet checked out our thoughts of ODST from E3, check them out now.

I think Lonnie will like this better than Halo 3.

Yeah that was a couple years ago now. I haven't made that mistake again. I didn't throw it either. I slammed it into the coffee table. I hurt my damn hand too!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

OMG that video was great. i think i just found me a new favorite MP game.

 

[D4rkShaDoWz]

Hey quick question: Does anyone know if this multiplayer version is compatible with Halo 3's MP?

 

[DPrime]

I'll definitely be picking this up. In fact I think I'll start playing through Halo 1-3 again just to get back in the feel of the series!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

dont forget halo wars!!!

 

[Punchy]

Hey quick question: Does anyone know if this multiplayer version is compatible with Halo 3's MP?

ODST Disc 2 includes the entire Halo 3 multiplayer experience plus 3 new maps exclusive to owners of ODST. You can play with friends that only own Halo 3 but then the new maps won't be available. Disc 1 includes the campaign and Firefight mode.

 

[hairlesswookiee]

^^^thanks i didn't know that.
