On the left you will see Rufus. Rufus didn't want a replica Spartan helmet, so you might have him to thank if you run out to the store real quick and still find a preorder available for the Halo 3 Legendary Edition here in the states. A Microsoft spokesman told GamesIndustry.biz that while there are still quantities left for preorder, they are on course to be completely sold out by launch day next week. They've already sold out in the UK, so don't wait until they start showing up on eBay complete with pictures of very relieved felines. And don't worry about Rufus there. I'm dressing him up like Pinhead from Hellraiser as soon as I find my tiny hammer.

Body mods are very popular amongs cats.
You try that with a dog though... No chance.
I can see the stupid lolcats macro now..."Going to fight the Covenant BRB."
Oh well, might be good for a laugh or two.
That's quite alright. And expected. Limited Edition for me. I don't own a cat.
"And don't worry about Rufus there. I'm dressing him up like Pinhead from Hellraiser as soon as I find my tiny hammer."
ROTFLOL, oh Fahey you crack me up.
Does spending 130 dollars so I can have a Master Chief Helmet seem just a little bit silly to anybody else besides me?
More Halo 3 news! And Cats! My day is complete.
At EB they told us to take has much preorder for the legendary edition that we could take... even if we're gonna receive around 10-15 per stores. We are at 30++ right now...
Please don't hurt your cat!
@Dreamio:
Gotta love that startlingly efficient EB strategy. The store gets the presale numbers, the gamers get nothing on launch day. If that's a widespread strategy being used by Gamestops AND EBs...there's gonna be rioting on September 25th.
As for me, I preordered the game (just the collector's edition, my cats would probably kill me if I tried to put the helmet on either one!) back in May over the internet, so I'd be guaranteed a copy AND not have to wait in line. Next day shipping, whee.
I can't STAND the ignorance on this subject any longer!! The helmet fits over 3 DVD
I can't STAND the ignorance on this subject anymore!! The helmet fits over 3 DVD cases, it's in a goddamn RECTANGLE. It fits on nothing, and everyone is wasting their money on this.
@FrigidAir44:
No, because you paying extra for more than just helmet.
must have for protection against Shoko-tan!!
I don't own a cat or plan on acquiring the Legendary Edition... but I still think the helmet is cool.
@Karttikeya:
Yes, everyone is forgetting the two DVDs, one of which will be available in icky book-form for the other for $60 less...
I had the Legendary reserved but changed it a few months ago because i'm really not that much of a collector. I just want to play the game.
Aww.... he's cute!
kin it bee haylow tyme nao? :3
Either way silly or not. I got the Legendary edition. I wanted it so I preordered it and paid for it. But they better have them in stock on midnight launch or there will be hell to pay. I do not care if I needed it or not, I wanted it. Plus so did my cat.
It's truly one of the worst limited editions ever, especially considering the price. When it was $100 it was too much. At $130 it's just absurd. They need to talk to Blizzard about how to make a good limited edition.
For an extra $60 over the "Collector's Edition" you should be getting a bonus disc with like 15 exclusive multiplayer maps :p
Rufus, angel cat to some, demon cat to others.
...and Fahey, your suffering will be legendary, even in hell!
@skullivan: Uh, it has a cat helmet. Who wouldn't want that on their shelf?
That alone will scare away any women who venture into your apartment and try and interrupt your video gaming.
Do you think if I called Microsoft I can get some money if I change my name to BUY HALO 3
anyone remember one of the mgs games(i think 2)in japan had a limited edition that costed like $200 and had a metal gear toy and some extra dvds.remember how everyone(my friends) complained that japan got all the limited editions with tiny useless trinkets(dragonwarrior blue gel guy)and that we want them in the US too.well here they are and people still complain.
oh and i dont want a helmet id rather have a master chief figure or a tank or something.
@onikuwagata:
Im in ur base, snipen ur spartans
THIS IS A SPARTAN!!!!!!!!!!
im on ur couch playin ur xboxz
im in ur game, teabagging ur d00ds.
i love lolcat
i can see they are going to have a hay day.
@Dakobah:
Everyone is missing the most obvious lolcat joke...
INVISIBLE WARTHOG
@EvilJ:
well said sir!
Rufus, I can get you the phone number of PETA and the Humane Society. Or you can do what my cat does and poop in Fahey's shoe.
Anon
Poor Rufus. Oh well, I'm sure he'll have his revenge. My cat loves me, and I have tons of cat scars. I'm too frightened to imagine what I'd look like if he hated me.
And do you remember the Eternal Sonata demo? That was before you got on his bad side...
@Kai_: While the helmet, as shipped, only fits over 3 dvd's. I'm positive that no one with too much spare time and a rotary cutting tool (dremel) will figure out how to make it fit a cat. That would be, like, unpossible!
@Kai_: The helmet fits over 3 DVD cases, it's in a goddamn RECTANGLE.
What? Some people have rectangular cats.
Seth Abramovitch?
Is a welcome to Kotaku in order? Or am I missing something?
I got it for $99 so it ain't too bad.
Sucks that I won't be able to put it on my dog though.
i still would have rather having to pay more but getting a bigger helmet
That cat is going to tear you a new one, Fahey.
I know cats. My first word was 'meow'.
Your cat's eyes terrify me, Fahey.
Sigh, it makes me ashamed to be grouped in with "gamers" who spend so much money on all this useless merchandise crap. That said, i believe the only real value out of Halo 3 will be the cat helmet.
I'll be honest... I am buying the Legendary Edition for the bonus DVD content.
That helmet is going on eBay as soon as I get it. I should be able to get at least $30 for it like I did with the Big Daddy figure.
See, i just want the DVD content. But 130 for just some dvd content and a useless helmet is not worth it. If it was a real helmet it would be a different story. Im still tempted to get the legendary edition though...
