Rumor: Halo: Reach will come in three flavors

Joystiq is reporting the possibility of Halo: Reach getting three different versions at launch, similar to the three versions of Halo 3. There will be the standard edition for $60, the limited edition for $80 and the Legendary edition for $150. The limited edition version of the game will come with a special case, in-game armor and collectibles. All that will also be included in the Legendary edition on top of Halo figure and “unique packaging.”

This info is coming from an alleged Best Buy ad which is supposed to be circulating next week so we’ll know for sure if this is true or not then. Seems way too early for the game to be making the advertising circuit, especially as there is no release date yet …

Pro tip: As much as I love the Halo series, wait on getting the Legendary edition. If it’s anything like the Halo 3 Legendary edition, then there will be a massive price drop a few months after release.
