Sorry if this topic has been discussed before. I saw at a local store recently a copy of Halo with a shiny, holographic cover, does anyone have any idea what the story is behind it?

I've been told there was a special edition years back, but I've only just heard about it and have never seen it. Nevertheless, all I can think of for this "shiny" cover is plastic.

There are multiple versions of halo boxart. There is the standard no shiny original boxart (which i have) There is the Game of the Year Boxart which is what you saw it had a holo/shiny cover-looked pretty sweet then they downgraded after the game of the year craze and changed the shiny box to a non shiny version and now we have the platinum hits version out now. It is becoming increasingly hard to find a Green cased new copy of halo.
