Gamers will have three flavours of Halo 3 to choose from for their Xbox 360.  But where is the PC crossover version?

The Microsoft/Bungie marketing machine is cranking up.  We now have more details for the upcoming, sure-to-be-blockbuster Halo 3 versions you will be able to purchase this Spring (southern hemisphere)

Fans can shell out US$129.99 for the Legendary Edition of Halo 3, three disks packaged in a 'Spartan Mjolnir Mark VI helmet' shaped case.

Disk one will obviously be the much awaited final installment in the Halo trilogy, seeing the Master Chief back on Earth defending against a Covenant and Flood invasion.

The other two disks contained in the Legendary Edition will feature supplemental bonus material such as a HD "making of Halo 3" doco, behind the scenes footage, early game concepts and evolution.  There will be featurettes concentrating of the Bungie Halo 3 team showing them working on graphics, audio and creative design for the game.

The disks will also include an audio-visual calibration tool so that players can optimise their specific home theatre set-ups to get the most from a Halo 3 experience.

Furthermore the Legendary Edition bonus disks will include a bunch of material from Halo: Combat Evolved as well as Halo 2 to fully build the back-story of the franchise.  There will also be content from the makers of the now famous Machinima "Red Vs Blue".  Finally there will be exclusive game tiles and a theme for your Xbox 360.

After finding out all that is included in the Legendary Edition, is there any point telling you about the other two Halo 3 packaging options?

Well just for completeness.  The Limited Edition at US$69.99, packaged in a collector's metal case will include one bonus disk including with the Halo 3 bonus material mentioned above, as well as a fiction and art book.

Finally at US$59.99 player can buy the game itself in the Standard Edition.

But what about cross platform play on Live Everywhere?   See page 2
