The '''Legendary Edition''' is the Ultimate Collectors Edition<ref>"We wanted to take the collectors set to a higher level." - [[Brian Jarrard]], [[Bungie]]</ref> of [[Halo 3]].
== 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.


The box has two parts, the inner-box (which is the actual box itself) has a picture of the [[Portal]] firing, while the outer-box (which is more like a simple cover) has a large three 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 recently a recall of Legendary Editions due to the fact that some maps won't work.
