| == Overview ==
| | The box has two parts. The inner box (which is the actual box itself) has a picture of the [[The Portal]] firing, while the outer box (which is more like a simple cover) has a large ''3'' printed on it, with the words "Halo 3 Legendary Edition" below that. On the other side of this is a large picture of the [[John-117|Master Chief]], which can be used as a poster. There was a recall of some Legendary Editions due to the fact that some maps won't work.{{Verify_source}} |

| == Trivia ==
| | The Legendary Edition costs $129.99 plus tax and was released on September 25th, 2007.<ref>http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=12467</ref> There was a minimum down-payment of $25 dollars at EB Games or Game Stop. Some EB Games stores, however, accepted $5 pre-order deposits. Microsoft has reported that the Legendary Edition should be sold out on the day of release.<ref>http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=28725</ref> However, the serial on the helmet shows that the Legendary Edition is actually made in large numbers, and currently new editions can be found for as cheap as $30. |
| * The Halo 3 Legendary edition, as well as its [[Halo: Reach]] [[Halo: Reach Legendary Edition|counterpart]], are both named after the Legendary difficulty setting.
| |
| * While Disc 1 (Collector's Edition essentials disc) featured a still version of the [[Microsoft Game Studios]] and [[Bungie]] logos, Disc 2 (Legendary Edition essentials disc) featured the [[Halo 2]] version of the logos in widescreen, as seen in [[Halo 2 Vista]].
