Is this only available in preorder? Will it be available via preorder until the day before release? Or will it actually be limited in number or limited in time? If I don't manage to preorder, will I be able to buy it in stores after Halo 2 is released?

no i think you have to pre-order because i got a call from the gamestop that if i payed 5 more dollars than i could get it so you prolly have to pre- order. and you get the H2 the day it comes out.

Yes I realize that it will come out the day H2 comes out. But I'm saying, if I couldn't/didn't preorder the Halo 2 Limited Edition, is there still a way for me to get it? Like, new and unopened from a retailer.

Ok, now that we got that down... Is there any other reason to preorder it besides having comfort in the fact that I have already bought the game and I simply need to wait for the shipping date? Like is there a limited time or supply of these special "Limited" Editions? I cannot preorder now because I am going to be getting a new computer and that will run me like 1500... parents don't want me to spend all of my money too fast ya know.

Here's a (real) idea:

Buy parts to build your own computer. Anyone can do it. My computer illiterate step-father built his own and has never had any problems with it. Not only will it save you at least $500, but this also means you can buy more copies of Halo 2. 8)

All the people involved in the Halo 2 project should signature the Halo 2 Limited Edition box =], or at least a part of it should contain everyones signature =]

OK heres the deal on the Limited Edition. You must PREORDER it. It will not be availbible anywhere/anytime. The LE is being built on a order system. However many orders there are by November 8th, 2004 will be how many Halo 2 LE copies are made. With the LE you get 2 dvds and the aluminum case, so i would say its worth the extra $5-$10. After November 8th, there will be no other chance to snag your Halo2 LE copy. I am the first one on the list for the LE at my local EB Games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

EDIT- $1500 AMERICAN DOLLARS ON A COMP????? AHAHAHAHAHA YOU ARE SO GETTIN SCREWED. Seriously, give me the specs on this comp ur thikin bout gettin. I'll give you a million other places to go that will selll it cheaper.

Wait are you saying when you go to pick up Halo 2, for an extra $5 you get the LE?? YAH RIGHT. In fact, i think there is a thread here that is all about the LE, and its been said by Bungie that you must PREORDER the LE. NUFF SAID

Why wouldn't you pre-order it? I have had my copy of Halo 2 reserved since October 2003. Gamestop called me and said I will be able to pay $5 more for the special edition. I would pay $20 more for it. Nuff said.

With the computer I'm getting, there is no way to go below $1400. Unless I get some jacked or black market hardware. P4 2.8 C ghz with HT, 1 gig of PC-3200 DDR, nice case with 500w PSU, X800XT, Audigy 2 ZS Platinum, JET4 HSF from CoolerMaster, Zalman 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones (Don't tell me these are a POS, cuz I know they aren't for the price and the fact that they are personal surround sound), 80 Gb 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive. Show me a place where I can order all the stuff from the same online retailer and get under $1400, then I'll believe that I can save more money.

It is not that I don't WANT to preorder, it is that I just simply can't. With the computer I'm getting this next month to replace my POS computer (if u can even call it that), I am not allowed to spend any more money until who knows when...

my local gamestop told me for every pre-order of halo 2, there will also have the LE. they said told me that when i go to pick up halo 2 that they will give me a choice between the 2 and if i want the LE that i had to pay $5 more. they also said any LE's they have left that they will just put them out for people who did not pre-order to buy
