The Legendary Edition of Halo 3 came with a ton of extras for the hardcore Master Chief followers among us. For a mere 130 dollars you too could own a feline-sized replica of the hardcore headgear worn by the world’s favorite Halo Hero.

While many of you gobbled up these big-ticket bundles on the day it released some of us were left scratching our unshielded heads. What’s the big deal?

Collector’s Edition games are nothing new but the Halo 3 Helmet Edition, as we came to call it, was just about one of the most useless things ever made.
