Sure does sound like an expansion pack, but people love their Haloz and will probably eat it up just the same. Also, they may be targeting new Xbox owners that don't have Halo 3.

Even so, you can get Halo 3 really *crag*ing cheap. Halo 3 is old hat now, and really no one who isn't already playing Halo 3 multiplayer and has had the game is going to start again now. The extra disc only appeals to people who don't already have a 360, which I would expect would be a minority of the people who buy this. The only real value this has to a Halo fan is the new content, and I don't think it makes much sense to repackage that and sell it as a full priced game.

I'm glad that they are using more of the Halo fiction to make a game, but the price point is really off putting.
