Subject: Preorder Ripoff?

1. Which version did you preorder? Regular or Special Edition?

I had to get the special edition because a guy at Gamestop said the Reach Beta doesn't come included with the regular version. I didn't want to risk it so I preordered the Special Edition. I don't mind because it does come with a sweet controller, but did I just get jipped? I was pretty sure the Beta came with both versions upon purchase.

It does come with both versions of the purchase id go back to gamestop and transfer the money back to the normal version unless you want to pay 40 dollars for the extra controller

The Reach Beta invitation comes with all copies of Halo 3: ODST, preordered or not.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

You can play the beta on either version. The Gamestop employee either lied to you or was misinformed. You don't have to get the Limited edition if you don't want, just tell them to move the preorder over to standard edition next time you go.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

It is a great community for the hardcore gamer.
Tell them Mongerty sent you

They have not revealed anything special being included with the "Limited Edition" besides the controller. It would seem that it is just the controller bundled with a normal retail version of the game.

Pre-ordering only gets you Sgt. Johnson, as stated above.

The Reach: Beta will come with all copies of ODST. It is Embedded into the ODST disc. Go to the Gamestop and un-reserve Collector's, and get the normal, if you wish. You will still get the Reach: Beta with the normal copy.

Thanks so much for the responses, guys. I was worried that even if the beta was supposed to come with all versions that the confusion at my local Gamestop would prevent them from handing me a Beta invitation with my game unless I got the Special Edition, but seeing as how the Beta is on the disk, I'm gonna go for the regular version. Love Halo and all, but I've got enough controllers as is.
