To be honest both editions look like trash. Especially for their prices.

Sounds like thin hollow plastic, you can hear it when they move the Locke part over and set it down.

Too expensive anyways... they really prey on the Halo fans as far as pricing sadly. Milking the community it feels like doesn't it?

I still don't get the logic of providing a steelbook (jumbo in fact) when they are just providing a digital code. Apparently this is the logic behind the digital code

Quote:

Unlike those versions, however, the collector's edition will be available a week early. This will allow CE buyers to begin downloading Halo 5 early, though they'll have to wait until it officially launches to actually begin playing

So you can't play it anyway until launch after preload - so what difference does this make to the normal routine in receiving CE on release day where we can just pop the disc in? I am assuming at most 1/2 a day in waiting for delivery assuming this unlocks at midnight so it's not like everybody will stay awake to play this at midnight anyway especially when the release day is a Tuesday (school and work the following day) on October 27th. To me this makes no sense considering this would only save a few hours of my life and at the end of the day, the people who want to play it ASAP can pre-order digitally anyway.

It is all to save production costs and the biggest reason is to lock in the cost of the game forever... no used game sales, at least for those CE copies of the game. And yeah a steelbook for a CD'less CE is insane.

As with all corporations it is all about more profit, sadly Microsoft has not learned taking this to extremes hurts them (like with the initial announcement of the XB1).

Made a Halo 5 Editions video if anyone is interested in my rambling:

All links from items in video (though I cannot figure out what is up the UK CE and LE):

Spoiler!

According to my Best Buys flyer, the game will come with a Master Chief Helmet Model by Metal Earth

It must be this one

Saw the Halo 5 CE statue at my EB Games store today. It's quite huge but it looks cheaply made, the paint on both figurine looks awful. Not worth the heavy pricetag on it

Also saw the Halo 5 CE box on sale at my Best Buys store, the box is 2x as huge as Halo Reach, the box isn't really heavy. You can buy it but since there are no CD in it, you have to wait till Tuesday to play it.

If you buy Halo 5 on a military base you get this coin along with it

those coins are a tradition on military bases in the US..nearly EVERY game from EVERY maker get's a coin release with the game release.Playstation, Xboxone, I believe Nintendo as well..gives out those coins to military personnel who buy from gamestops on bases.
