{{Status|RealWorld}}
The '''Legendary Edition''' is the Collectors set of [[Halo 3]]. It is model of the [[MJOLNIR]] Mark VI helmet and it's about the size of a cat head. Inside hides four DVD's. The first contains the game. The second is filled with documentaries and comments. The third contains spin-off material such [[Red vs Blue]] and Spark of life. The maybe the most unexpected is the last disc, containing all of the movie sequences of all  the three games, all HD and in chronological order. A foretaste of the Halo Movie if you please, and a fitting round off of one of maybe the most cool boxes in all of gaming history. The Legendary Edition will cost about $130 dollars. According to Gamestop it is set for a November 2007 release.

-We wanted to take the collectors set to a higher level. ([[Brian Jarrard]], Bungie)
== Overview ==
The boxset is composed of two parts: the inner box (which is the actual box itself) has an image of an activated [[The Portal|Portal]], while the outer box (which is 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.
 
== Content ==
The set includes:
* The ''[[Halo 3]]'' game disc

== Trivia ==
* 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]].
