Halo 2 CE?

[Mistik]

Hey I'm finally gonna pick up a copy of Halo 2 but I'm unsure whether or not ot pick up the Collector's Edition. Can anyone tell me what's/who's on it and whether or not it worth it? Or possibly refer me to a link that does? Normally I'd pay the extra $5 for it but it's always 41.99 with free shipping at mtv.com so that's why I'm torn between the two.

 

[Scorch]

A bonus DVD that's not really worth it.. but hey, the case is awesome, especially if you want to knock someone out and don't have a brick handy.

 

[Trakan]

I think the bonus DVD and metal case are worth the extra $5.

agreed

 

[Kaijufan]

Get the LE. The case is nice and it has a few hours of extras.

 

[ananag112]

I got the regular one so that it could fit in my DVD rack.

 

[TJordan522]

I think the case is definately worth $5.

 

[Mistik]

Yes but is it worth an extra $13? Halo 2 has always been 41.99 at shop.mtv.com

The LE one would have fit in your DVD rack...

 

[RedvsBlue]

I've personally only watched about 15 minutes of the bonus DVD. I'm still happy with my purchase simly for the metal case, it just looks cool when put in with my other games.

 

[greydemise]

i didnt see much of a difference but the case (u DO get a coupon for a buy one get free green slurpee at 7-11) , but other than that, i'd stick with the normal version

 

[chubbyninja1319]

Short answer = YES, it is worth the extra $13. I wasn't a fan of the first Halo and I loved Halo 2 and was glad I got the LE version. Go for it.

 

[captainfrizo]

I say pay the extra $13 and get the CE, in my opinion it would be worth it.

 

[legion_stxds]

Save yourself the money... find a friend that bought the LE and watch his/her extra content.

 

[6669]

Yeah, get the CE. Don't be a cheapass. *looks at the website address

 

[PS2gamerGCN]

walmart B&M has the LE for the same price as the regular edition so you can get it for 49.odd walmart cents instead of 54.99.

 

[ryanbph]

I think that it was worth it for the box alone

 

[jalu6]

get it. word.

 

[TJordan522]

Yeah, it's worth the $13. If you don't get it you will always regret it.

 

[PenguinMaster]

I would simply go for the cheaper one, after all this is cheapass gamer!

I always thought that Halo 2 CE was thicker then a normal DVD case

 

[andrew333]

it's probably worth it if you plan on reselling it in the future

 

[chubbyninja1319]

Look at it this way....Which are you more of? A cheap ass or a gamer?

Gamer first and if you're hardcore, you'll want the LE. Just wait until after Christmas, return that ugly ass sweater you got and use the $$ towards Halo LE.

 

[jughead]

legion_stxds, you are such a halo party pooper.

 

[SEGA128DC]

You can get Halo 2 Limited Collector's Edition for $49.99 at Best Buy, after the $5 off GGC...

I think the X-Box system itself is a powerful weapon.

 

[SEGA128DC]

I just love your avatar, gmzone...

You know, you're the 2nd person to comment on it. I didn't have any avatar until recently. Thanks. I hope EA gets a nice lump of coal for Christmas.

Lmao... why is that? Oh... my opinion on wheter you should buy the CE or not is definitely changing... wait! LINK

Just to confirm... the CE fits fine in dvd racks. Its the same size.. but much heavier.

 

[Wshakspear]

The manual is different, the DVD explains why the game isnt what everyone was expecting it to be after E3, and the case is freakin sweet.

 

[peteloaf]

[quote name='Wshakspear']The manual is different[/quote]

i didn' t notice this until recently (I own the CE and I'd never seen the regular manual) The CE manual is written from the Covenent perspective - very neat

 

[Wshakspear]

when i was at the midnight release i was looking through the reg. versions book from a rental copy, got home, and was quite surprised. That was something they didnt have to do, and didnt even market.

 

[doubledown]

So, any try selling the bonus disc on EBAY? I'm curious what I could fetch for it....probably $5, but it IS EBAY....so who knows

How do... you do it Cmosfm? :lol:

 

[MasterLin1]

If you love Halo get it, if you sparingly play it get it. The only reason not to get it is if you hate Halo and never play it.

 

[Pure Apathy]

Get the LE, the case is pimp.

 

[SEGA128DC]

Yes, Halo 2: Limited Collector's Edition, case is pimp...

 

[minos1067]

also, the ce has a fantastic sound check for ur dolby setup.

 

[deathcabforcutie]

check your local Best Buy... i'm sure its YMMV, but since the item is what we call "at risk" (no more being shipped, basically discountinued) my store is selling it for 54.99 with an automatic $10 off.. so your total would only be 44.99, and if you can find a nice cashier, use a GGC and make it $39.99. this is of course YMMV because im not sure if any other BB have this same $10 off game selection the one i work at has... good luck!

 

[Mistik]

Is this thread still going? I bought the CE version a while ago...

You make it sound like there was a way someone was suppose to know that.

You know, I didn't think of it as "discontinued", but it really is. It's just weird because there were so many available at launch, but it's interesting to see it become somewhat hard to find in the stores. I mean, it's readily available on the net, but you may have to look a little to find it at a B&M.

So, tell us, how do you like the Halo 2: Limited Collector's Edition? Isn't the game case pimp!...

 

[Mistik]

Yes the case is pimp. I actually got the last one at my EB. Thanks for everyone's input.
