A few scant details have surfaced regarding Halo 3: Recon, the expansion pack to 2007's Xbox 360 blockbuster. Described as a "three-to-five hour expansion pack," the most amazing news is that this small game probably won't cost sixty bucks!
Bungie doesn't seem to think that a short expansion pack is worth that much money. Of course, what Bungie thinks and what Microsoft wants to do are two separate entities entirely, so we'll have to see on that count.
In other news, the Recon Armor will now be available to all players, provided they complete the Vidmaster Challenge series of achievements. More details are to be found in the latest issue of Game Informer, with some concept art from Bungie rookie Jaime Jones.
So, how much will you pay for three more hours of Halo 3?

... Bungie already announced the details of Recon. It's Halo 3... but you play as an ODST troop. Same exact gameplay with missions taking part in post-blown up New Mombassa.
The campaign will not be DLC. The multiplayer maps will be (Recon and Halo 3 will share multiplayer). There are no new weapons being added. New maps only.
Recon is a FPS, solo, not squad based. Imagine you're playing as a black Masterchief.
Whatever Bungie. Don't care.
I actually missed the Halo hating bandwagon and actually enjoy the game but would never pay more than $20 for 3 HOURS.
