Halo 4 Limited Edition Announced
343 Industries unveiled a Limited Edition for the upcoming Halo 4 to be released in North America on November 6th at $100 USD.
While not explicitly confirmed it does look like it will include a SteelBook or similar case for the game, other physical goodies include a “UNSC Infinity Briefing Packet” which includes armor schematics ship blueprints and other information., Also included are “exclusive” bonus videos including making-of content, expanded character stories as well as a 90 live-action series “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn”.
Microsoft seems to be taking a page out of Activision’s book for most of the content included are load of bonus DLC including access to “three future competitive multiplayer map packs… available post-launch” which seems quite similar to the bonus content included with the Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition.
No official word yet on a European variant though if past Microsoft rreleases are any indication they will be nearly identical to the North American release.
ZOMG HOLY SHIT!
Preordered.
Available for preorder in Australia as of about 10min ago

$128 AUD
So with the exception of Briefing Packet and the schematics, everything else is DLC and likely not even on the disc either.
If that is the case, No need to bring to Euro.
Not interested.

up for preorder
£65+ ouch.
Im guessing an initial pre order sell out and then flooded at release, seems the norm with flagship microsoft releases
got my order in with ShopTo.net nonetheless - gutted they are not doing a legendary or otherwise named ultimate edition but still looks nice - at the end of the day the game is the most important part...
My thinking is they didn't want to license out the Steelbook branding.
don't see the point in buying halo CEs at launch as they always seem to be cheaper than standard editions within a month
No one has even asked about the "design" on the steelbook. From the picture, it appears it will have all kinds of intricate and complex "embossing"; the design looks to me like its raised up all around the whole steelbook. Let me tell you, if that's the case, this will be very, very desirable. Also, if Microsoft does what Activision did with Modern Warfare 3 limited edition, this Halo 4 limited edition WILL be more limited than usual and sell out long before launch. This will NOT be easy to find after release. Not like previous editions that were tiered or mass produced. These small, steelbook editions are always a better investment for collecting.
That is true, the steelbook does indeed look nice, but it is a photoshoped promo.
Will have to wait for final images,
We certainly have time on this release, very early. Lets just hope the finish the game on time.

Also, the Halo Wars limited edition is a bit rare and valuable - (which is similar to Gears of War 1, Mass Effect 1, Spinter Cell Conviction, Mass Effect 2, which all had small size limited editions - not much bigger in size than a small book).
I also know for a fact that the Original black label Halo 2 (sealed), the Halo Triple Pack and the Halo ODST limited edition (w/ controller) are all still valuable and somewhat rare. They certainly can cost a good amount more than standard price, depending solely on condition.
Most all of the above Halo titles could easily sell for more than they retailed for, which would mean they have increased slightly in value if not significantly (like for Halo 1 black label sealed).
