I will never understand why people spend so much more money on the special editions that add nothing of value.

Sometimes the toys are pretty cool. I've never seen anything in the Halo Special Editions that I had to have, but I got the Fallout one for the lunchbox, bobble-head, and bottle opener. I'll probably get the New Vegas one too.

Well in Reach's case... it's a Statuette of the whole team... it's cool as a display item for sure.. but I have no space.. nor the money. :laugh:

Sometimes I'll go for the special edition of a game if I can get it on sale. I've seen a few situations where the special edition was only $5 more than the regular edition, and it ends up coming with a SteelBook and an art book. Even if the SteelBook is nothing special, and even if I just end up tossing the art book into a dark corner of my closet, I can certainly think of worse things to spend $5 on.

This is a rare case in which I will probably end up spending the gross price of $150 USD for the Legendary Edition. I want that statue to geek up my room a little bit, and that flaming helmet just looks hilarious. Never mind the fact that it will make me easier to spot for snipers ;).

Game - $60

Limited Edition content - $10

Statues - $80 (5 statues at $16 each)

Seems fair to me...

My insatiable lust for all things Halo bypasses the common sense departments of my brain. Then again, one could argue that such departments are altogether absent in my case.

I'm not condemning your action, in all honesty being a minor figure collector seeing figurines that are that cheap is pretty rare. Especially ones that well crafted. Problem is, what piqued my interest in the more expensive versions was Halsey's notebook, not the figurines. So I'm gonna settle for the Limited.

I agree that it's definitely a substantial price increase between the Limited Edition and the Legendary Edition, especially considering that the only additions are the figurines and the flaming helmet (whose novelty will probably wear off within the first thirty minutes of using it). I actually didn't even realize that the Limited Edition existed until I did a search for it yesterday. Still, at the end of the day, I can't deny that I want those figurines, and considering that I haven't purchased a lot of games this year (far less than normal, in any event), I do have some extra money set aside for this.

IGN has a preview of Reach Avatar items as well. One of them looks to be exclusive to certain press events (San Diego ComicCon, PAX, etc).

link would be nice.. ;)

I think I will pick up the Limted Edition/ Legendary Version in a year or two. I remember for Halo 3 it went down to $50 and less just to get rid of the excess stock that no one would buy.

Yes this is really true... there's still some Halo 3 Special Editions with the Cheif Helmet for like $50 or less.

I have a good feeling that Ivory Tower is coming back. :) Bungie, in their typical style is teasing a multiplayer map in the making (I think in one of the BWUs). The descriptions fits perfectly to Ivory Tower.

Oh how I hope you're right.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
