It isn't available in Germany either. But I wouldn't get it anyways. I just want the game and not spend extra money on it for things I've already seen.

It would sell like crazy though. My friend works at EB games up here in Montreal. Do you know how many people have been asking for it on pre-order?? He says people ask for it every day since the announcement. Damn you Bungie.

Yup, although it would be wise to do it, just for the sake of more revenue for bungie. If they sell the special edition in other countries aswell, they'll get even more money out of Halo 2.
They'll make so much money anyways because people will probably buy Halo 2, and then buy Halo if they don't have it yet. Xbox sales will freaking rise in November 2004 aswell. Microsoft is so lucky that bungie makes Halo 2.

mmm this is not encouraging. I live in the uk and keep checking games sites to preorder the special edition but I still haven't found any so I guess its not coming out here either but here's to hoping

You know what I hate the most? That you can't play American Xbox games on a European platform. If you were able to, you could just buy it in America and save money because of the currency (1 Euro=1,20 US Dollars). Ha, too bad. Freakin' region codes!

It's stupid, i was gonna buy both the regular version (to Play) and the special edition (to keep wraped-up). They will lose on a lot of people who'll just buy both, like me.

That's pretty funny. Keep the Special Edition wrapped up ;-)...
What do you say about the case of the Special Edition. I thought it didn't look that great. Still unique though.

that's more than 70 dollars

Yeah, that's what I'm most concerned about here. For the ones living in UK it won't be that much of a problem, but in Germany they would still have to translate everything into German. If it doesn't come out on November 9th in Germany, but it does in the UK, hell it's the same region code, I'm gonna buy it in the UK then!

Maybe Bungie could say a little about this issue. Maybe they already calculated translating time into the release date. Maybe the finished stuff is being translated already.

They want the 'Halo.' But I tell them: 'No! No Halo! For you, only the 'Frenzy'! The 'Frenzy' and maybe some 'Munch'

The special edition IS coming to Canada. I live in Toronto, and when I went to EB Games, the said that they didn't have the SKU for it yet, but they were getting it in a couple of Days.

I have no idea what your talkin about cuz here in Toronto we gettin it. I called up the Eb that i preorder my Halo 2 copy and asked them if I'll get my special edition and they said YES! So stop freakin every Canadian here. But i have no clue if it gonna be in Europe.

Do we even know if the November 9th date applies to Europe? Game (the British equivalent of Eb) has the date for release down as "Q1 2005", i just cant wait that damn long, the suspense is killing me already.

Call some place in Michigan, find a nice chap on here who lives there and will buy it for you, send him the money, have him send you the goods. Not too bad eh?

I think it comes out in the UK on Nov 9th, because before the announcement amazon had a release date of september and they have since changed it to Nov 9. I know this isn't exactly cast iron proof but hey its good enough for me

That sucks if you live in a country where you cant get the special edition Halo 2. Well, I already paid my $5. Try to find a copy on ebay or in the IWANTa when the game comes out.

I've seen that date on amazon too, but past experience has taught me to treat anything amazon say with serious suspicion. On the plus side a lot of publishers are starting to aim for same day, multi region releases, as a means to maximise advertising potential. So here's hoping that we brits get both the same release date and the special edition that the Americans get.
