Unboxing All the Halo: Reach Xbox 360 Editions

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

The next Legendary is supposed to be truly limited this time around.

Halo: Reach will be Bungie's grand finale to the series, at least as far as it is concerned. As in classic Halo fashion, there will be several SKUs for Halo: Reach buyers to choose from. There's the regular edition, the limited edition, and the crazy expensive Legendary edition.

Bungie says that this time around, the Legendary version will be truly limited in supply (in my neck of the woods, Legendary editions of Halo 3 were clearing out at under $20 a few months ago).

Everything you need to know is in the video below:

$8 worth of plastic that no one will care about 6 months after the game is released for $100+ extra? Pass. I don't care if it is "truly limited," it'll be worth just as much as the Halo 3 Legendary edition is now.

Hmm, that limited edition looks interesting. Dr. Halsey's journal might be worth $80 dollars all by itself. I don't really care about the games, but I am a huge fan of the novels (which I wish they would continue) and that journal definitely sounds like an interesting read.

Well, even this game's all legendary boxes won't be bought while they are expensive no matter how few they are and end up selling for cheap some months later when all the hype dies down. Who plays with plastic dolls?

No amount of limited editions or money can keep 12 year olds from coming in your game and ruin the experience. I can still hear the screams of kids thinking they are so L33T 10 years ago when Halo 2 came out.

It has nothing to do with playing with them. These are the sets that people will buy and never take out of the plastic wrap. I guarantee all the legendary sets sell relatively quickly. Too many nerds are in love with the Halo series.

Ok since itsoo hard for smoe to think further like the retard above me thats asuming its all about the nerds buying this stuff...
Explain to me Mr non retard for someone like me that has a room full of collectives, blades and minatures and knowing that the Legendary's minature is created by McFarlane, a minature that for its size and detail alone I know that here in greece without even the game would come for at least 80$+.

Does that make me a nerd knowing I like the franchise decently and I love minatures and consider buying it, or makes you just too much of an ignorant and incapable to understand a couple of things? The nerd will give you the advantage of trying to think about it. lol..

I'll buy it if they release the last 3 Halo games for PC (Halo 3, ODST and Reach). Oh wait, I guess that won't happen. Oh well. Someone's not getting my money.

I like how she gives away the end in the video. "...The ultimate sacrifice." Not that it wasn't already fairly obvious, but for those who were still holding out for a surprise ending... too bad haha.

Sheesh what a bunch of jerks, this is all standard stuff here. If you are a big Halo fan you will love it, if not you dont have to buy it, end of story. This is a geek site, isnt it?

We aren't talking about geeks! we're talking about the products included in this package and whom they're targeting!

Toys?? a map?? a novel?? ok maybe novel is ok....but the rest just seems childish. Man it just makes gamers look like a bunch of immature kids who haven't reached puberty! I play games, I don't want no stupid toy! it'd be better if they included an OST or something instead of this gigantic box filled with crap a kid would play with...

And honestly, the last thing we need on Halo is more little kids yelling on mics about not wanting to go to bed because its 8pm! Man I hate little children who try to act like their 40's and trying to "fit in" with the rest of the adults.

Being a big Halo fan doesn't mean you're going to start playing with little cheap plastic toy figurines. I hated that about AION too and Assassins Creed. Their LE's had figurines in them...what the hell are we supposed to do with them?? play pretend? lol

I remember seeing stacks of the last Halo Limited release (with the helmet) at every Best Buy I went too. Apparently, paying $100 for a stupid plastic helmet to go along with the game wasn't very appealing.

Still, leave it to Microsoft to release 20 versions of something that only needs 1 version. Seriously, anyone ever buy Vista Home Basic instead of Premium? I remember a YouTube video where someone took an iPod retail box and marked it up as if Microsoft made the product, it was quite an amusing outcome.
