Halo Reach Thread

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.

After traveling around Melbourne Australia to maybe 20 game stores finding the legendary preorder sold out in every one I finally managed to pre order one at ebgames.com.au! Took so long loll because I was so late but they say they gonna ship it out on sept 14th!!! Comes with bonus recon as well so I can has flaming reconz :)

I,m so pumped for reach now September here we come!!!

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.

Sorry about the link dude, was at work and i do not have access to ign there. Here it is if you still need it:

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.

    • I'm not unblocking my camera for this crapola. Sorry, Google.
    • Ummmm that is what is it supposed to do. Just turn if off in settings if you do not want it analyzing your open tabs. Chrome does the same thing with Gemini. Sarfari will do the samething after Apple's AI and even more so with the release of their 27 versions that is now powered by Googles LLM/ML models. Understanding why it is doing it and how it can help you vs jumping to some conspiracy theroy is a much better approach. As long as it can be turned off, all is good. Yes the default should be off but the a lot of people would never discover these features.
    • Just another reason (aside from many others) not to use Edge. Firefox 153.0b5 DEx64 has a similar feature added recently in prior builds that I will turn off at some point when I get around to it. It's the new "Something looks suspicious" page that pops up here and there. It cleverly hides itself between web pages that I've actually visited; as a result, you know, of selecting a web page and telling the browser where to go. The interesting thing is that it does not produce these warnings from pages that I, as the only intelligent user of the browser in my system, have ever directed the browser to open! What seems to be happening is that the browser looks at all the goofy ad links on a web page I do actually open and selects one that "looks suspicious" and then creates the "something looks suspicious" web page, which is neatly inserted, as mentioned, between web pages my RB ("real brain") has directed the browser to load in a session. The thing is, I usually look at links I am considering to follow before I ask the browser to load them, and in cases I have noticed where the link does indeed look suspicious, most of the time I will choose to not follow the link at all. Doesn't everyone do this or something similar? I am picky about what I voluntarily load... (I don't like links that start off fine, with a site designaiton that seems normal enough but then is followed by indecipherable alphanumeric strings many, many lines long, etc. I tend to reject those because they look suspicious. They may not be, but I don't care... I'll stay with Firefox, of course, if for no other reason than they usually let you turn off the junk you don't like. And because it isn't Edge... But at some point Microsoft will come to realize that putting your bookmarks on the left side is a Good Thing for a lot of people, just as Microsoft discovered when it had the bright idea of nailing the Windows taskbar to the bottom of the screen, when for decades Microsoft browsers had left that placement up to the user. They have finally reversed the obscenity of that decision. Finally.
    • Google was using the old CATPCHAs data to train their LLMs. What is the say they won't use this camera data of users to train their LLM? these companies need some strict regulations!
