Thats right, you didn't see it wrong! Halo 2 Limited Edtion is only for the U.S.A. For me, living in the U.K. i find this absolutly outragous. You don't belive me then just take a look at the U.S. version of Xbox.com and you will see in the top right hand corner an advertisment for the Limited Edtion. Wereas if you look at theGreat Britain or French version you will notice that the page is completely devoid any advert for a limited edtion.
Bungie, i am discusded. Can anyone from bungie offer me an explanation to way this is the case? Why they have not provided for there thousands of fans outside the U.S?

I am disgusted that someone from England cannot speak English. I assure you, you can get it in England, clearly because it is not on the website that means you can't get it. Now I am sure you want to bash the U.S for any reason you can think of, but plan ahead next time, and go preorder it like we all did to get it.

Because it's not? Go figure. Why don't you actually go to a store and try to pre-order it, which is the only way to get it. If you cannot then complain.

wow, you might be right.

even though the Xbox.com sites for the UK and france don't say anthing about the SE coming out in those parts of the world, doesn't mean that they don't have a chance to. MechAssault 2: Lone Wolf wasn't (and i don't think it is yet) on the xbox.com site when they annouced it. doesn't mean that it won't be coming out.

just wait and see. if this does turn out to be true, i'm sorry. but, the good news is that you won't be missing out on anything from the game itself, so no worries there.

Actually it says this in the Halo 2 faq (created by Bungie) -
Halo 2 will come in two flavors - the regular green plastic case you all know and love, and the new extra special collector's edition. The collector's edition will cost slightly more and includes a limited edition metal box as well as a bonus DVD filled with cool stuff like the "making of Halo 2 documentary", behind the scenes footage, developer interviews and more. There are only a limited number of these being produced but anyone who pre-orders should more or less be guaranteed to get one. This offer will be subject to availability in your country, but is not limited to the US.If you read that last sentence then it proves your wrong. Halo 2 will be out in other countries besides the U.S.

It has to do with the governmental trading policy.

Yes, but that means it will be in other countries (they are just not sure which ones exactly)

  • 06.12.2004 7:56 AM PDT

Driven to distraction. ^_^

I'm pretty sure that the collector's edition will be out in the U.K. (I for one will be getting it), but I'm also having trouble finding anywhere to pre-order it. No U.K. websites (Amazon, Play, etc) have it listed and Game isn't taking any orders for it either. I'm getting worried too.
