Halo Reach Limited & Legendary Edition

Zeouterlimits

Sooo good.

Tad disappionted by the lack of Making of & Dev Commentaries (Jones, Staten & Marty talking over H1 & H2 was fantastic, favourite part of the Legendary edition) but must admit the Statue looks fantastic and the Halsey journal is right up my alley as a fan of the Universe.


The Limited Edition:
* Game disc housed in recovered ONI ”black box”
* An exclusive in-game Elite armor set for use in multiplayer modes
* Artifact bag containing Dr. Halsey’s personal journal and other classified documents and effects that unravel long held secrets from the Halo Universe


The Legendary Edition:
In addition to the game disc, manual, and the complete contents also found in the Limited edition, the Legendary edition includes:
* Noble Team statue expertly crafted by the artisans at McFarlane Toys. Individually molded, hand-painted and individually numbered, this statuette is a must have for any serious Halo fan
* UNSC-themed custom packaging
* An exclusive multiplayer Spartan armor effect


It's up on Amazon.co.uk now but do people think we'll get the legendary edition here?
In what stores? Game & Gamestop?

So expensive... I got the H3 legendary when I was minted but times have changed. So much nerdy goodness tho...

All 3 versions available in Gamestop to prebook (standard, limited, legendary), Picked up ODST today for the Beta and get a free €10 prebook on Halo Reach, went for standard, but I'm sure you can stick the prebook on the other editions.

Do you know what the prices were for the three versions in Gamestop?

turnfan

No prices confirmed yet, all I can see online at the mo is USD prices.

£93.18 on Amazon.co.uk right now, accepting pre-orders.
Don't think we'd get it Day of Release even with Priority Shipping though.

Any time I've ordered a game on Amazon with Priority shipping when the release date would be a Friday, it'd arrive on the Monday.

I'm pretty sure the Legendary Edition is going to be around the €150 mark in Gamestop. I picked up ODST for a mate and got the free €10 deposit, put it straight on the Legendary, that statue is gonna be SWEET!

Soby

it so tempting when ya have the mula..but i think id be very stupid to play 150 for a game

Malone1994

Really looking forward to Reach.
Gonna need to start saving up for it though.

Keanosmagic

guaranteed someone like tesco will have it at a bargain on day of release just like mw2

Zeouterlimits

Think HMV are offering the Legendary Edition for €110.

KaiserGunner

The Legendary edition does look class but dont think I could justify spending 110 euro or so for it. Tough times with college starting back up in a few weeks.

micks

is there any shops taking orders for legendary edition?

Smiths and HMV wouldn't in the last week just referred me to their websites

Game definitely did(/do?), I have to assume Gamestop do as well.
Odd that HMV would advertise it in store then make you order it online.

deelite

Finally was able to pre-order legendary edition today - Xtra Vision (I never thought of them)

Have your membership card to hand - or else bring photo id and a bill and they'll set you up an account - I paid 5 euro deposit...happy days.

The girl serving me said they'd already ordered their quota of 1!!!
and suggested trying their site.
Tried Gamestop yesterday no luck will try xtravision this morning cheers deelite

deelite

Did you have any luck in Xtra Vision?

jenno86

Xtravision taking bookings. Go to your local one. Shops dont have a quota.

HMV 110 but wont take orders Smiths 129 but wont take orders
Xtra Vision - "Competitive price released closer to release date"!

DesperateDan

Looks like noone knows how much to charge! I for one wont pay more than 150 though......damn I hope its not 150, much as I love you bungie

docdolittle

I'm kinda pissed off that only the standard edition comes with the REACH console :mad: I might pre-order a limited edition and just sell the standard I get with it....

I know, if it came with the legendary edition for an extra 50€ or whatever I'd buy the reach console

TerrorFirmer

Want the legendary edition so bad. Game and Gamestop are booked out and quoted 125-130 euro each, went to Xtra Vision where I was quoted 200 euro! Madness. So, just the standard edition for me, and I guess I'll have to settle for purchasing some of the McFarlane figures seperately, or snap up a preowned.

Zeouterlimits

€200?
Surely Xtravision wouldn't dare?

I know, it's ridiculous. They said the price could change but when Game, HMV and Gamestop have definite prices already, there was no way I was risking reserving a Legendary only to be told on the day that yes, they were selling it at said grossly inflated price, and I could take it or leave it - it would kill me to have to go without Reach on Tuesday. I feel better knowing that at least I can definitely go home with the regular edition that morning. If there happens to be a Legendary left over Tuesday morning and the price is actually closer to that quoted by the other stores, I'll just take it.

deelite

I heard half a radio ad last night but the tail end said something like you will get 800 microsoft points for getting Halo in Xtravision.....

Oh weird, false advertising much? I saw the €110 poster in there.

Which only makes me more furious that Xtra Vision quoted up to 200 euro.

I was quoted that as well but they said that wasnt the actual price - I got a bit scared as when I paid my 5 euro deposit the receipt said balance left to paid 995.00:eek:

IveGotGame

When I went in to Xtravision and asked they said they weren't setting the price until late in the day to make sure the price was competitive... I took this to mean so they weren't charging so much they were pricing themselves out of the competition.

I suppose instead of pre-booking I could just head along to one of the midnight openings... does anyone know what XV stores are open. I know Blanchardstown is but maybe there is one closer to town?

(Never posted on Boards.ie before so excuse me if I've missed some of the etiquette)

ShamRocking

I don't know about the price but I know that you can find a list of the stores on their Facebook page

http://www.facebook.com/Xtravision?v=app_17037175766

They have some sort of special offer with it too I looked are their website and there is a page about halo http://www.xtravision.ie/2010/september/haloreach.aspx you might find more info there

deelite

Just phoned xtra vision and they still have no confirmation on the price of Halo Legendary

its an issue with the ordering system - we already have all the copys in now so theres no point to ordering (if you ordered a week or two ago or earier we would've done it for you) cos we can't do any orders for a few weeks, we can only pre-order things for now like gt5 and that.

seen the legendary edition and the thing is massive... bigger than my microwave the feck !

played a small bit of the game too, so far so good.

maximoose wrote: »

that price mix up is very common because the first price was not the final price.

a good example of this is on our system GT5 is down for €58.99 but we know thats not the final price and our system needs to be updated, the game is infact €44.99 as we display

so most likely what happened there is when they were checking the pre-order they looked at the price on that and not the final updated one.

haha i know i saw it yesterday in store, not looking forward to hauling that home tomorrow

Waiting for confirmation from Xtravision that they will give 25 euro off the legendary/limited editions in their shops if the first 5 customers happen to be buying those ones. Guy in shop said he should know later on in the evening.

told me today that it will be €109

Gamesnash.ie: Pat

If anyone is in the Blanchardstown / Dunboyne area and can't source a limited or legendary edition drop me a pm and I can organise to hold one for you if you don't mind popping up to Dunboyne to collect. We have literally 2 legendary editions left at the moment.

DARK-KNIGHT

hey really confused what to do now really bad reports over legendary edition im hearing and some are falling in love with it.

i wasnt impressed has anyone got there hands on it yet to give a 100% fair comment?

deelite

My son thinks the legendary is "deadly". When you open the box the limited edition is sitting there in the wrapper - and the only thing that appears to be different is the statue thingy. When he comes in later I'll ask him other differences but there doesn't seem to be any other than the statue and I'm sure he said extra codes (but I could have misheard that)>

chrislad

Limted edition is pretty good looking. The box is impressive and a lot of attention on the book that comes with it. One of the better LEs.

Moogintroll

The limited edition is pretty sweet. I was really surprised at how well it was presented.

GTR63

Whats in the Limited edition exactly is it just DLC and a Art book.I've pre-ordered the Standard one & the limited one is about €15/20 extra.What do you get for the extra money,i'm not able to pick up my copy until Thursday so I would like to know.

It's not actually an art book, basically it's Dr. Halsey's diary but it's actually presented as an actual artefact. It comes packaged as such in a sort of fake intel top secret box and the diary itself has clippings and photos etc placed between the pages. There's even a few pages torn out for effect.

There's also extra stuff in the back, insignia patches and a pass card etc.

It sounds silly (and I guess it is) but it's a really nicely put together package but I guess you have to be a colossal geek to really enjoy it.

Has it got the problem the Halo 3 limited edition where you could break the game disc when you tried to take it out if you weren't careful.The Glue that held the little circular thingy that held the game disc leaked on my Game Disc aswell,thankfully it came off.

Nah, the game itself is in its own box which I assume is identical to the regular version's box.

Nicely packaged alright, the diary has a lot, glad I didn't get the Legendary edition, the model of team noble would have taken up half the space in my box room.
