Subject: More than just a controller?

Hey,
As most of you should know we will be getting a collectors bundle for Halo 3: ODST for an extra $50 (Australia FTW) and with it comes a controller. Which is kool and all but I was surfing the web the other day and I found this pic. Now up until I had found this pic I thought that the bundle came in a case, like the ones that normal controllers come in. Then I saw that pic and that changed the way I viewed the ODST collectors bundle, could there be more than just the controller? Maybe the guide book will be included as well. I did some rough measurements and it looks as though it could fit in that box. Maybe some other bonus content? Or is this some kind of well photoshop'd fake pic, trying to get our hopes up?
I'd love to see what you guys think.
(no flaming) ;)

My troll sense is tingling.

It's just the controller.

I'm hoping its a recharge cable. Just so the colours match =P Still be good to get something else, I know there's something else there.

On release day I'm gonna buy something else ODST. Maybe a grifball something if its released.

Well they would have said it came with it on websites as it is a selling feature.

You do get something extra, some niffty keen packaging

It would be cool if they threw in some MS points but I doubt they'd throw in the guide, we're getting $20 off a controller with the game, why would they put themselves with a total of $40 lost including a guide, a game, and a controller for only $100?

Not that this would take up that much space but I find that a lot of bonuses (jhonson in this case) have 48 hour XBL passes.

I still think it's a recharge cable. And its wireless I noticed but had already gathered. It's just nice to know I'm not getting a wired controller.

If there's a recharge cable in my Special Edition box when I open it, I will pay you $100 million dollars. There isn't. Trust me. They would've mentioned it, it's an additional thing that Microsoft can advertise about.

What he said, that would be like expecting a charger cable to be packed with a 360, or for component cables to be packed in with a PS3

Well there may be no charger cable, but it might well come with a matching battery pack, it will obviously come with the AA variety but maybe a play and charge pack as well? that would be sweet. Otherwise im going to have to buy a white one and paint it!!!

The back of the controller is black so a regular black plug n play kit matches it. It matters if it matches

You realize that a play and charge IS a charger cable -_-

yea i know that, i was saying if they only gave the battery pack part.

But if the back of it is black then we have no worries, i thought it was the same pattern all around

Hmmmmm
It does look thick. maybe the ODST OST or something....

Then again, doubt it
