Dead Mans Hand-Always Loaded.

First off, do you plan on getting it? I'm contemplating. It looks cool, and I want it for the most part, but I don't really need another controller.

Also, what else do you think should come with it? Personally, I want a little steak keychain with a 3 'branded' on it from luke ^_^ lol... anyone else?

Pretty sure all you need is to pre-order, Limited Edition or normal, it won't matter. As long as you pre-order you'll get Sgt Johnson.

I think you're right, Sgt. Johnson isn't only in the limited edition.

I am also considering purchasing the Limited Edition, but it's AU$ 149.99, which is good value if you actually need another controller, but really quite expensive. I hardly need a fourth controller (as I'm sure many others feel the same way) for just me and my brother, but then again I am a sucker for extra stuff. I will probably settle for the regular edition, hopefully as a pre-order to unlock Johnson.

I also maintain that Chrome is weaksauce, and IE9 is fast and works very well

I do want another controller, the left joystick on my controller doesn't spring back to the middle fully, so if I let go of the joystick, sometimes I will still be slowly walking forward in game and thanks to my friend and his brother having a fight over my other controller, the left joystick is also pretty messed up on that too.
Anyway, for $187.95 NZD I'm not too sure. That's just the price of the game ($99) and the controller ($89.99) put together, though it is a pretty cool controller (that I won't let my friend near again) and I wouldn't mind a new one.

Its how we fall

yeah when i saw the price my jaw dropped... i have no cash atm lol need to start saving and practicing my daaaaaaaaad?....

  • 06.13.2009 5:53 AM PDT

I'll probably end up getting it. My original controller is starting to die, and it seems that getting the bundle works out with me getting a discount over buying the game and a controller separately.

seriously, i'll call your dad, and tell him its rated M for mature and you shouldn't be playing it, failing that if he doesnt agree with it i'm sure i could sell you plenty of illegal things you shouldn't have till you turn 18/21

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

I swear to god, Microsoft better order like 50 different versions of the game for people who don't have the maps and want the controller and for people who want the maps and the controller and for people who just want the game and the forge update... WHATEVER! Microsoft is really pissing me off budget wise because they can't just make like 2 different versions with maps that most players already have and call it a $60 package. I mean it if there is anything less than a gigantic ass forge update, a -blam!- awesome game, really -blam!- good 3 new maps, and a really -blam!- durable controller, I'm seriously thinking of just -blam!- Microsoft and going to PS3 cause they're getting ridiculous with their games.

You can't judge how old he is for using dad in his sentence. I mean there are some 30 something year olds who live with there mothers.

Hmm. I think the additional price is okay, as you are getting a new controller...

But at the same time I'd rather pay a small amount extra, and get smaller things (like the coaster and book with Halo wars)

I probably won't be getting it. If it came with a bonus dvd or art book of some sort, I'd consider it, but I'm not a big fan of limited edition controllers and things.

seriously no one cares about what age you can play games, i was about 11 (or younger) when i played an 18.

I have the Halo 3 controllers, and I will be getting this one. If you need/want the controller its worth it.

  • 06.13.2009 7:22 AM PDT

Did he just say "grunt rebellion?!" What? Fish? a barrel you say? Well that's not very sporting... oooooooohhh...

I just don't think I can spend the money on another controller. I purchased the limited edition of Halo 2, the legendary edition of Halo 3, and the limited edition of Halo Wars, but those had extra content and special packaging. No matter how excited I am about this game, I just can't make a case for buying the limited edition without any extra content or collector's items. At least make it a special case with a different design or package it with some ODST action figures. They could give us a cheap little flip book with stick figure marines fighting stick figure brutes for control of the bridge from the E3 demo. No, I think I will be purchasing the regular game and saving my $40 for the special edition of Reach (which I'm sure will be earth shattering).
