Well...Essentially, what I needed to know...9/22/09...But what else do I find? The supposed 'Collectors edition' of ODST...Me being the suck up and collector I am, I took a peek into the pack. I find that you get the game, some fancy packaging, which is all good...But the main extra is nothing more then the halo 3 controller that came with the halo Xbox 360...Now, for some of us that might be nice, but if you actually took your time to find if this controller was really worth it or not, you'd find it isn't worth the additional 40 bucks. Ebay, selling them for as low as $30, local retailers, packs of 2 for $60...Seriously Bungie, a better collectors edition would be nice..I'm not asking for an ODST helmet (although that woulds be VERY nice) or some fancy limited edition only code...but some metal collectors tin for the game at the least would be nice...

Metal tin, no...Johnson, yes. Then again, it comes with the regular version as well, so I wouldn't count it as a special 'Collectors edition only' code...

This controller is different. If you actually looked at it, it's got all of this awesome stuff on it, like coding and whatnot. You obviously do not care about it, you are just coming to these forums to complain about something you don't know about.

No idea if you're serious or not, but if you pre-order any edition of the game- There will be Sgt Johnson. As for the Collector's Edition = remote. Smile and wave to Bungie now guys.

mitch k

I don't know about you guy but im from Canada and i went to pre order it online at Eb games and they didn't even have special edition only lousy first edition its just dumb...

You better close this sig when your done.

The collectors Ed only gets an extra controller. If you go out and buy ODST on release day then you'll only be missing out on Sgt Johnson. If you preorder then you get Sgt Johnson.

Its easy, just take 2 seconds to read whats in it.

Halo 3 Sonnet

We are the Bungie community, and thus, by definition, we are given the right to complain about any work that Bungie produces, mentions, or even thinks about, with no limits set by knowledge, logic, common sense, or understanding of sarcasm!

This is what it will look like. The controller is different that the other Halo 3 one, but it does look similar.

  • 06.05.2009 8:41 PM PDT

But... but it's a new controller! It has... writing and... stuff.

Yeah, I guess it's not that much. But OODST wasn't originally meant to be a full game anyway, so there might not have even been a CE originally.

It's essentially the same thing. Just a regular controller with some silly skin...

Your not missing out on anything, I'm getting the normal version because the controller isn't worth it.

Well, when i looked it up on gamestop it didnt say anything about sgt johnson so i was worried, sorry, but metal tin im disappointed, however new controller! i need one, i ruined my black one on my elite from playing too much halo 3, way too much not to mention halowars.... but since it comes with a controller im happy cuz i wanted a halo controller anyway, but frankly wished it had some odst images like the other ones i wanted to buy. like a drop pod flying down to earth. well thanks for posting that web page of gamestop i saved it for proof that i should recieve it!! THEY DID UPDATE THE webpage just now i checked oh thank god!! i guess i pre ordered very early! lol

I know I don't HAVE to buy it...I was just saying that I was disappointed by the fact that the Collectors edition for ODST sucked, and I was a bit upset about it...

It only sucks for you, though. Many people like it.

Maybe so, either way I don't like it and wanted to express my opinion.

  • 06.05.2009 9:02 PM PDT

Then you are in the right place! As are we all...

  • 06.05.2009 9:03 PM PDT

Well if you need a controller, it's essentially $10 off ODST.
