Wow, that really sucks about the disc scratching thing for the Limited Editions... but does this not also affect the Legendary Editions? Isn't it the same disc packaging?

I was under the impression that the Legendary had the normal DVD case (the one you get if you buy just the game) because that's what fits inside the helmet. I could be wrong though.

The LE DVD is in a metal case, which is (obviously) different than the normal one.

edit:

woops just read Stifler's post and maybe he's right. The pictures over at Engadget have the same case, but I think it might just be a plastic cover actually..Someone else able to make it out?

Read my post again, I edited + pics from Engadget. I'm not sure if it's the tin version, it has the same design, but it could just be a plastic cover.

:iiam:

It looks like the same thing. I was just taking a wild guess with my post.

And it's probably not as big a deal as people are making it. Everyone said the Halo 2 LE discs scratched easily because of how they were stored and mine's still yet to be scratched (although the case is dented, haha). Just like the H2 problem was blown out of proportion and didn't make much of a difference, I feel this one is going to be the same way.

I just noticed, wtf is with number 6. I wasn't aware of a Halo: CE for PS2... :rofl:

They even have a page for it http://ps2.ign.com/objects/014/014552.html

That's news on IGN from before Microsoft bought Bungie :p

Awesome pic though lol!

      I've been using MWB Premium for a number of years so that along with Windows updates and updated browser should be fine. Thanks for that.

      For some reason I suddenly have the urge to go shopping at Sears.

      So I did a quick test based on 3+ different public instances from the litany at searx.space ... and it spins everything rather differently. It seems that SearXNG is a meta-search engine (queries multiple search indexes rather than only Google's or Bing's or Wikipedia's or Reddit's) that operates in two modes: > public instances ... each instance opens itself to outside users who piggyback on its cached search history; this instance's own identity becomes known/tracked but end-users are hidden similar to an anonymization proxy; this instance's querying of major search indexes may be API based [rated limited, blocked, etc.]). > private instances ... your private install/instance that itself queries multiple (configurable) search indexes of crawled web content; every major Search Engine associates all traffic to your private instance (so your traffic is tracked via network usages) but client-side tracking (your own browser/computer specs) is flushed because it's a "server" doing the querying rather than your browser. My test asked the same 1 question to the 3+ engines and they all returned vastly different results: some had CAPTCHA failures against Google, some had failures against Wikipedia, and the actual results were also different -- some had auto-complete enabled, others returned a wikipedia highlighted excerpt despite the Wikipedia failure (hinting at results being cached from previous keyword matching), and others just gave an Are-You-Human non-CAPTCHA loop before returning random results. So this begs the caveat: Search query results will vary based on which instance is used because every instance queries the other search indexes separate (and thus its results are influenced on that instance's aggregate search history and index-access limitations). The major distinctions for SearXNG versus DDG or Brave: > The search UI is 'untracked' since no UI trackers are baked-in which would phone home or lay cookies into your browser (for DDG/Brave usage stats), > There is no 'crawler' that canvasses the Internet to discover fresh content (it leaves that to the major search indexes), > Queries multiple search indexes ("meta-search engine") based on the configurations and usage history of the server instance, > Privacy-friendly due to its ability to shield user tracking via standing up a non-local server instance connectable to major VPN providers: queries would all appear to come from general VPN/Proxy providers rather than your private instance (whether installed locally or on your own VPS in the cloud). PS: I've previously come across specialized search engines of this nature that indexes searches across media assets like YT, OF, etc. SearXNG seems to be a good backbone...if the rate-limiting/captcha/etc. issues were resolved.
