well halo reach is probably going to cost close to $100 because when i bought odst it was $70 which goes up to $80 with the tax and that is the normal price of a new game now and i wouldt be surprised if the price of a game went up $10 - $15 by the time reach came out. so are you ready to pay close to $100 for a game. because its halo i will buy it.

Where did you buy ODST for $70?? You got ripped off. I paid $60 and no more. Halo: Reach will be $60 just like every other Xbox 360 game has always been.

Well you probably should have specified that you were talking about Canadian dollars. Bungie will not charge $100 on their game. That would piss a lot of people off.

£40 for a standard edition of the game (Undoubtedly there will be collectors editions and whatnot released). The same amount as a regular game.

why should i specify that i am talking about canadian dollars if americans vever specify that they are talking about american dollars

  • 10.24.2009 9:14 AM PDT

Yeah, I paid 72$ for ODST here in Canada. But, lucky me, I live in Alberta, so no PST.

It would depend on what the special/limited edition comes with.

because USD is the international money.
go on ebay or amazon... they don't put mexican dollars of canadian dollars. they're USD. even in europe, if you ask "how much in dollars?" they'll tell you how much in USD...

... do mexico use dollars anyway? o.o

Chief vs the scarab? I find that hard to believe to roundhouse boot the scarab's figurative emotion out of the gaming zone.

Bungie doesn't have the authority to set the price for Reach. The game will be published by Microsoft, and the publisher has full control over the price.

Eh?

I personally live in Europe, and whenever I ask "What does this equal in Dollars" people always ask me to specify which type of dollar.

Online stores always put in the currency for the country that they're selling to. Amazon.com is the American site, so it displays products in USD. Go to Amazon.ca however, and you'll find things in CDN.

The normal edition of Reach will probably cost $60 US. However, if Bungie makes a special edition that has a few discs worth of Behind the Scenes footage (like they did with the Legendary Edition of Halo 3) I would gladly pay more.

OMG why would you pay that much, there is no way it will be that much

  • 10.24.2009 9:44 AM PDT

my old account "gamegeknee" was hacked and thats why I had to make a new login name.

I believe it's because the Canadian dollar is worth less than the US dollar actually. Either way theres no way Reach is gonna be $100, it will be $60 for us and $70 for you like every other game.

Because Bungie is an American company. And American companies advertise their prices in America dollars. If you are talking about a dollar that isn't American, on an American companies website, you need to specify.

How much is the tax there? For me, base price was 70$, but only 3,5$ tax. (5% GST)

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Because it's the same value, the majority of the population here deals in american dollars, so unless you specify otherwise, we are going to assume that you are talking about american dollars.

Its similar to someone coming here and typing in a different language, then expecting other forum goers to respond in kind.

And I don't know why you are complaining. It is the same value. $60 USD ~= $70 Canadian Dollars.

But for your original question, I am willing to pay $60 USD + 10% sales tax.

Unless the special edition has something amazing that I must have.

I'm willing to pay $60 because that's how much games cost.
