"Rules build up fortifications behind which small minds create satrapies. A perilous state of affairs in the best of times, disastrous during crises."
The Collector’s edition includes a bound “art book” called the Bestiarum – a guide to the species and civilizations of the Halo Universe. Legendary Edition purchasers get an expanded multimedia version of the same material, with far more art and illustration, most of which has never been seen before and won’t appear anywhere else. And that’s built into the DVD Bonus Disc along with other materials.
I think you guys are really going the the wrong way with the art. I realize that you want to give buyers of the Legendary edition more content, but you've castrated it by keeping all that art in a digital form on a disc. [Most likely with some content protection on it, even!] If there's anything I believe you should rethink here, it's not having a hardcopy book for the legendary art. I imagine you don't have the resources to put two art books with mostly the same material out, but if any copy should have the non-digital version, it ought to be the Legendary edition, not the Collectors.
As it is now, I'm not at all interested in the Legendary edition: All that digital stuff [Even assuming there's protection on the disc] will eventually make its way onto the internet where it can be had for free, so there's no real incentive there. However, with the Collectors edition, you get an art book that you can hold in your hands. That's far more valuable to me than a gimmicky chief statue/helmet or an extra two DVD's. Especially considering I only ever looked at the extra DVD from Halo 2 a couple of times.
