imagine if a copy of halo 2 was accidentaly put in one of the display cases and you found it inside. that would be wicked. but very unlikly. but really funny if it happened.


Umm.. that wouldnt happen because for one they hevent been burned yet, and I think the games are on the developers box for security, I dont think there is any copies of halo 2 now, for security reasons. If there was disc they wouldnt work on a normal box.

Why would they get people hyped up this early?? The game doesnt come out for another three months.By the time the game comes out everyone will be bored.

The guy is definitely telling the truth. I saw the display cases at my local Game Spot today. They are just like a regular case, accept they are "tin" plated or something like that.

I cant decide if I should get the LE or Original Halo 2. Cause the metal box will kinda be annoying but I wanna see the extra stuff inside it. And the original case for H2 should be sick. What do i do

inside the metal case will be the normal green plastic one

Heres some more pics of it, although its still a little blurry (and I did try to fix that, but my webcam is really old, and this is the best quality I can make it).

Heres one showing the writting on the back
Heres one showing the "Halo 2" written on the side of it
Heres one showing the bottom part of the front
Heres one showing the front, side, and back of the case
And finally, heres one showing the front and part of the inside

Also, that person that said it could be card board, if you look at the pics you can see its reflecting light, which cardboard doesnt do. And for those of you who said that the display cases are plastic, this one isnt. This is tin (on the outside, but the inside disc holder is plastic).

actually these are very collectible, they have "not for sale" on them. I've now seen these cases in 4 stores.

The hype is to create preorders.

Funny i posted yesterday about seeing these cases and people called it garbage.


The green regular cases with the silver limited picture on them were just in store mockups, again just to visualy appealing for you to place a preorder.

As to why it still says "RATING PENDING," I have no idea, since it was official rated M. Maybe they just havent updated the display boxes with current info.

I have both versions of the game coming my way. I cant wait.


You mean both cases - there is only one version of the game.

I want one like that in a Super Limited Edition Titanium case, only 2 made, one for me, and one for my girlfriend, with extra pages in the booklet signed by everyone who worked on Halo 2 and all the voice actors. That would be so sweet, and probably worth over $500, oh, and the game disk would be titanium plated too, on the top of it, for the label.

I saw that case at EB, and I know it's just a preview of what the tin will look like. It's a tad heavier than the regular case, and thicker too. The back just stated what "could be" in the actual version of the case.

That's sweet. My gamestop has a cardboard stand-up of master chief. It was drawn by someone but it's pretty good. They also have a bunch of those display cases.

The LE is the best cuase when you are leaving the store and some one tries to kill you for the last copy of the LE you can hit them with the tin case. But if you get the reguler it won't hurt as much.

Wish I could get the LE. They're only made for US Xboxes, so it won't be compatible with mine. Just my luck...
