Your Spartan VP ~c-force again with some interesting newsbits.

Before I start, put those plasma grenades and park your Hornets.
Since Microsoft believes that the so-called expansion feels more like a full fledge game. The retail price for the game will be $60, there will also be a Collector's Edition for $100.

Now for something interesting... according to [link]
As a pre-order incentive. Players who reserve and/or order their copy in advance, will get exclusive DLC in the form of our favorite bad ass marine sergeant, Sgt. Avery Johnson.
The DLC allows you to play as Sgt. Johnson in the game's Firefight mode.
For those who think Johnson's bad ass-ery warrants his own game, this may be the closest thing you'll get (for now).

Remember. Halo 3: ODST deploys and drops into stores September 22, 2009.
