Subject: Why is the special edition so crappy?

Go Rams and Missouri!

I have no problem with the price of it, or the controller, which looks awesome, but I am very disappointed at the packaging. I think it would have been better to have it come in a box and include the control, a dvd with making-of videos and some extras, and finally, a special steel case for ODST.

And even if they didn't want to make an extras for a DVD, it could at least have a steel case and look cool with some special design.

And for the record, I am getting the Special Edition, but I still think it could have been a bit better.

I dont mind it. I usually never buy collectors edition but seeing how I can actually use with what else it comes with its great.

Spartans are from Venus and Elites are from Uranus

Bungie probably didn't intend for there to be a Limited edition to begin with.

Agreed, I was looking forward to an edition similar to MW2's.

how would a special case make the game better?

Why, MW2 has a terrible special edition. Why should I pay for a game and nightvision goggles? The goggles are cool, but then I'd also have to pay for a game that I already have in CoD1.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

The only thing I am concerned about is whether or not the controller has a batter pack that can be used with a play n' charge kit.

Did I mention an ODST helmet? No, because I don't think anybody would want to go all-out with a cool edition for an expansion. I just think they could have done a little more.

The Halo 2 DVD was great -- I hope they've been making one for Reach.

So you're complaining about a box which the game comes in?

  • 07.26.2009 5:35 PM PDT
