Definately getting this !

[gurpswoo1]

just like every other halo release, it's going to be over produced and drop in price.

Strange that we should learn of this first from EBGames Australia. Is there an official press release announcing it for global release? Or is this just going to be an EBGames exclusive?

Personally I had higher hopes for the 10th Anniversary release. This one looks slightly cheap and tacky compared to previous Halo CE's

[vhal_x]

Yeah I was hoping for a big CE, but with less than a month to go, I doubt anything else will be announced...

But we can all hope xx

Damn it, and here I thought that, in the UK at least, the Play.com version with the pre-order DLC's was the best copy to purchase :(

[AmericanBash]

I am pretty sure that is a fake collector's edition. Main reason is that we (as in GameStop) are selling the RC cars in that same packaging. I think someone just put a case with Halo Anniversary inside the box. If that is the real collector's edition I will be real disappointed.

EBGames said it is called the Collector's Pack and it is in fact a CE (albeit not a very great one)

I see now. Its kind of a psuedo collector's edition. GameStop in US is doing something similar with the Assassin's Creed Revelations http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/games/xbox-360-assassins-creed-revelations-ultimate-bundle/92983 . It just comes with a standard RC car that can be bought separate from the game for like $30 or $40 in store. It's a gimmick that they try to do to get collector's to buy it more. :(

[AmericanBash]

I feel like such a bad guy for being the bearer of bad news :(

[gurpswoo1]

This still isn't available for pre-order on the site, judging by the pictures. This is not a separate bundle edition like the recent assassin creed ultimate bundle.

There are reports it can be pre-order instore, any of our Australian members confirm this is true.

If it is, please let us know a price aswell, Thanks

[AmericanBash]

This is not a true special edition. It is actually just a gimmick that Gamestop and EBgames are doing to try and sell more copies of Halo CE.

[I_BE_WILL]

This is actually a proper Collectors edition as EB is selling the warthog separately but its different to the one included in this CE.

Any chance you could get confirmation, picture, price, anything thanks.

Are you sure? Cause I work at GameStop in the US and we tried the same thing for when it was first announced.

False.

Both are made by eb, no official collectors edition

[twistedsymphony]

if the game is inside the box then IMO this is a proper CE, no matter who made it.
