We’re looking back laughing because they called us crazy, but we took that chance on that feeling, living for the moment, we were spinning in. Maybe we were a lot of things, but we weren't crazy.

I'm going to touch myself to those pictures of the Legendary Edition later..

I'm just going Limited. The Spartan Armor effect in the Legendary sounds enticing, but not $150 enticing.

I've just pre-ordered the Legendary Edition at www.game.co.uk
Thank God for my Birthday in June where i can get cash from my relatives ;)

On a side note - I really hope you guys keep up with the limited edition controller theme. I have all three Halo controllers and I simply adore them, I would love to see some for Reach.

I'll probably be getting the Legendary Edition for the armor :D. A huge box to keep it in is nice looking, but after unpacking it's kind of unpractical..

GT: Greg Is So Hot

Bungie, you guys are about to make me such an irresponsible consumer... I'll probably preorder the Legendary edition in a few days.

Stupid. I hate this bull-blam!- and the idiots that pay for it.

This reminds of Gears of War 2, where pre-ordered copies included a code for a gold gun.

It's absolutely shameful that Bungie would follow this course. Whether or not one has the money to spend on a different edition of the game should not give him some presumed in-game special trait.

If I hear two months from now that Bungie already included the first round of DLC on the Reach disc, I'll snap the disc in two, as I was all too happy to do with my Modern Warfare 2 disc upon hearing the same information.

Have fun with this one, fanboys.


I wouldn't completely blame Bungie for it, but Microsoft and the marketing team between them. After all, Microsoft owns the IP, and will try whatever they can to get the most money. I imagine there was some back and forth between Bungie and Microsoft to not screw us as much as possible, but I could be wrong on that.

I doubt there's hidden unlockable content within the CD that will need to be bought a few weeks after the game's released though. I highly doubt Bungie would be one of those companies.

Don't get me wrong bungie is great and all plus this is their last Halo game ever, but $149.99 is way out of my price range, although I'll probably buy it anyway even though I shouldn't. Although its just a test to see how much people are willing to pay for games so they can justify rasing the price of video games for future consoles down the road. Keep buying over priced games and guess what in a few years every new game that comes out will cost you $149.00.


Or... you know, it might be part of the cost to make those 10-pound, hand-painted statues. I'm pretty sure shipping cost factors into that pretty well too.

Very nice. I'll be sure to pre-order the Legendary Edition within the next several days.

It's BEAUTIFUL! Still split between Limited or Legendary...

Made me think again though...where is the "Behind The Scenes"/Bonus Materials Disc?

Looks like time to cancel my pre-order on normal reach, and pre-order limited edition reach! Can't get legendary due to insuficient funds. Oh well...

I don't know if I will get a reply on this but, I was wondering if there will be a 'making of' DVD included with the limited and legendary editions. This is what a ton of people want including me is a behind the scenes feature. I still watch the Halo 2 and Halo 3 behind the scenes bonus material. I just want to know if there will be a DVD esque type of bonus material in the new editions of the game. Thanks for the clarification.

A Hapless Elite: because TheUnluckyElite was already taken.

Wow, nice! I think I'll go for the limited edition, since the Legendary will be quite expensive, and the limited edition comes with an Elite armour code. Elites ftw. :)

  • 04.22.2010 2:09 PM PDT

Guess who is just about to pre-order Halo Reach, not that any of you guys will care.

& thanks Eddy2

Its amazing how many online friends you attract when your ambidextrous.

Will the armour perms be downloadable eventually on live?

Awesome! I'll try to get my hands on the Legendary edition.

while the ledgendary edition looks great, the only person i could imagine who would want to get it is my friend who has enough money to have all the newest game consoles, some old ones and two 15ft shelves overflowing with games.

what the -blam!-.

Why can't the limited edition be designed just like the halo wars limited edition?

I don't want to get a copy with the discs all scratched up that opens two ways.
