Subject: Bungie's Sorta Skimping on the Collector Sets

" I will seek vengeance upon those who have betrayed my family, and uncover a conspiracy bigger that I could have imagined. I am Ezio Auditore di Firenze. I am an Assassin"

The Only thing that you get is a controller. Come on Bungie! Last time for Halo 3 ODST you gave us a ton of stuff for the collector sets. Throw in a 6 inch tall detailed figurine of one of the characters. It can be at random so there are choices. Maybe an Artbook to show us the different ideas and concepts that you couldn't put in the game. How about a Sound Track to some of the Music you will be using? Any more then Just a cheaper controller (Avg. Controllers are 50 Dollars but ODST's included in the Collector's Set is 40 Dollars).


EDIT-- I'm not saying they should take out the controller but maybe add something else. A T-Shirt or something. I already have a controller why do I need another one? Just because it's cheaper doesn't make it better. They should give you more reasons to get it other then a controller.

Have you seen that controller? How can you not be sufficed with it?

Don't upset Achronos or you'll end up with a dog's head in a jar in your mailbox.

Controller is okaay...
I'd be fine with a steelbook type case with extra stuff in it like they did for the HW LE.

Umm because its just a normal controller with a different skin on it and we all most likely already have one or more xbox 360 controllers, so where's the incentive to purchase this collectors edition?

I'm stumped, really,really bad decision Microsoft or Bungie, whoever was in control of this decision

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

Remember, ODST is an EXPANSION! And remember, things can change. Maybe it has a booklet like Halo 2 collectors edition.
And I like the controller. I'll get the fourth when i buy that.
Splitscreen maddness. Or Custom game at least.

It's like if the Fanta girls and the the cast of Girls gone Wild participated in a remake of Labyrinth that takes place in a crackhouse version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory where the sugar is cocaine, the candy is crystal meth, and the chocolate is LSD*takes a breath*and the goblin king became the gummy bear king.

i have the SPNKr missile game storage case, so i think the ODST controller will be a nice addition.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

ODST isn't exactly a full year-round production. It makes sense that it wouldn't have as big of a launch as their other titles.

Maybe the Sergeant Johnson or the Halo: Reach BETA is only available ifyou preorder the LE edition... that would be quite an incentive, right?

is the beta only available with the LE pre-order?

that's the one i bought/ pre-ordered, but i thought the beta was going to be available even on the normal copy.

I will likely get the collectors edition unless they come out with another with more extras. Have all the contents of the CE been announced? Are we sure it just comes with the controller?

Also, about the editions, and skimping on ODST, Halo 2 did just have a CE with a special case and little booklet. Didn't it also have dvd extras?

  • 06.04.2009 7:09 AM PDT

No, OP, not "come on Bungie", "come on Microsoft". Microsoft made the discussion to have a Controller in the $99 Collector's Edition, not Bungie. Bungie does not get a say, since Microsoft has the Halo rights over them.

We get it for 10 dollars cheaper. Woo! Last time I checked thats not 'giving away'. And Halo 2 didn't skimp out; you get nice things such as that case and booklet.

For not skimping out I would have to say Halo Wars was the best ive seen. Mythic map pack code, special case, a static sticker, a code for a special warthog, a code for a special wraith thingy, a whole bunch of info cards, and a hard-covered image book,

How many people in this thread have a degree involving marketing?

  • 06.04.2009 7:22 AM PDT

OK, take the $60 retail price of ODST, than take the $30-$50 price of a controller.

$60+$30= $90 (Under price, what it would be if it came with a basic white controller.)
$60+$40= $100 (Price of Collector's Edition, but this controller is cheaper than the Special edition controllers for Halo 3, and the Elite controller.)
$60+$60= $120 (This would be the estimated retail price, since Special Edition controllers are $60, and the game is $60.)

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

They give you books and a useless head statue and you're happy.

They give you something that's functional and you complain.

...wow.

Because it'll probably just as easily as the normal ones and it just has a paintjob. From my memory, it's green. ODST's aren't even green.

They need to put more in the CE's. They made a few billion from Halo 3, and then there's Money$oft who has a few billion they can throw around.

maybe it does have a new paint job, but it is an exclusive controller, basically it means we can get an awesome halo themed controller, without the use of Ebay.

and who cares if ODSTs aren't green, and who cares if the controller is? either way you slice it, you are getting a good deal, infact, you are getting a better deal than halo 2's CE.

Spinning a plate on a stick is impressive, but if you try to spin three at once then you'll just end up digging porcelain out of your face.

It's a great deal. $60 for a game and $40 for a controller all-in-one package. You're ridiculous if you complain about this. It's a steal. I don't want a little book that will have all of its info transferred onto the internet within the first few hours of its release. Also, I don't want a DVD with only 15 minutes worth of content on it that will be on Youtube the following morning. I want something that will last; something I can use. The ODST controller fits the bill perfectly.
