Does anyone out there have the Xbox Halo bundle? Is there any exclusive Halo or H2 content with this bundle? Just curious if anyone else thinks it's worth the money before I drop $170+. Thanks for stopping by.

Well, the Halo copy has the E3 2003 demo of Halo 2 (yah know where he drives the ghost and 10 elites surround him with plasma swords) There is two other movies that come with it as well... but i forget what they are. Otherwise, its a see through green xbox with Halo logos where Xbox should be on the controllers and Xbox, and it comes with a dinky S controller. Halo: combat eveolved is totally unchanged game though.

Maybe Microsoft will start releasing more special editions here in the U.S. like they do in Europe and Asia, they have some incredibly cool editions out there that are PAL only.

What's the deal with the Samsung drive? And how can you tell?

Hey everyone.. I just joined today... but been a reader of bungie.com for a long while and owner of HALO for Xbox and PC the minute it they each hit the scene..

But as to your question pcsme it's really impossible to tell which drive your going to recieve without opening a sealed box.. your best bet if the seriel number ends in 05, or 06 your gonna have a newer harddrive inplimented onto your xbox.. be it a Thomson, Phillips or Samsung..

Good luck with your purchase..

So what is the CD-R driver ability that the samsung drives have over the thomson drives? What function does that serve? I've got the new halo bundle and its cool cuz the clearish green is cool, the halo logo is pretty neat.

And are you guys opening ur box to find out or using the s/n to figure it out?

Mine came in the mail on Wednesday, woot! =) There's no exclusive content with it, it's basically nice clean versions of the Halo 2 videos that have been released so far. The green console and controller are very cool though. The green shell is identical to the debug kits that developers use...except the one at my desk has Halo 2 loaded on it. =)

Ha, yeah I think I would fill my pants if my xbox had Halo 2 in it. Either that or quit my job and head home to play...likely both.

I got one a couple of days ago...not much is new except it's green and says HALO on it and on the controller. I guess the only thing thats cool about it is that when my friends come over for LAN play, they all drool over how cool looking it is because they have the regular black ones. =P
