Best deal for Halo 3?

Has anyone found a super good deal for this? I haven't pre-ordered and figured I'd just wait it out to see what the best deal is. Anyone find anything decent?

plus free shipping on both items. the other deals will probably come out closer to release date, but as of now, this deal works. theres another one i saw a couple of days ago where you can buy the LE one for the same price as the regular one. i'll have to find it though

ahahha. yeah that's what they also told me about bioshock. i only preordered a couple of days ago from bb. if you can't find it at one place i'm sure another one will have it. i mean microsoft has already sold 1 million or so preorders, so i'm sure they'll have more than enough copies. plus, you might get lucky if cc has "the $20 if we don't have it in stock deal"

I did this deal, you could actually get (3) $5 1600 point cards when I did it. I'm not sure if that's still working.

That's for the CE, not the LE.

The LE is $130

True enough, but that's what the poster ment. You could NEVER buy the LE for the same price as the regular one.

I just got an email from Blockbuster offering a $10 gift card with Halo 3 preorder. Not too bad I guess.

Target is offering some tiny action figures with the pre-order. I think it is regular SRP though.

If you need any peripherals, I believe you can also get $10 off Halo 3 when you preorder it and a peroipheral that's 29.99 or more. Pretty sure you can stack that with the points offer as well.

Gamestop has a 20% bonus trade in deal going on right now when you order Halo3, and it stacks with either the edge card (10% extra) or the current 'bonus' trades - trade in 3 games=extra 10%, 4 games=extra 20%, 5 games or more= extra 30%.

I took in 3 old games and a $5 one from BB, and got $38 towards Halo, for stuff that I couldn't get $5 a piece for off ebay or amazon...

You really think it will be going for that much? Isn't the ultra edition still up for pre-order everywhere at like $125?
