Some people really just don’t need the “Halo 3” Legendary Edition.

While not an issue for the majority of the people that bought “Halo 3″ earlier this week, getting that Legendary Edition home can be a hassle. Those that live in major metropolitan areas — particularly ones with high crime rates — where mass transportation is the only form of reasonable transportation, how do you get your shiny new purchase home?

While most people in other parts of the country can throw their new Halo prize in the back seat of their car, others have to parade it past hundreds (maybe thousands) of other curious on lookers on their way home. Carrying anything above $20 in plain site may make you a bit of a target. So, when entering the subway with $130 worth of “Halo 3″ goodness, the best way to carry it, much like a weapon, is concealed. Too bad the box is so big (and the helmet too small to actually wear) to fit in anything inconspicuous.

I’m finding this is a reoccurring problem that I’ve had, with video game purchases in particular; riding the subway at 3 A.M. on the night that the PSP launched, carrying my PS3 across midtown, getting my Xbox 360 out of the borough of Manhattan, speed-walking my reserved Wii home in my supposedly “safe” neighborhood. Today its “Halo 3,” wrapped in a garbage bag, stuffed in a TRU bag, such an unceremonious arrival for such a prestigious game.
