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.

All the halo editions so far have lost value

I don't think that's entirely true. The original black label version of Halo 1 (sealed or not) (for Xbox Original) (the one without "game of the year" marking) is still quite rare and valuable. Certainly much more valuable than when it first released as a standard game. Talking strictly about the NTSC version too. I believe European version got a major influx of supply for that and was not nearly as limited as the original NTSC black label.

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).

I still won't be buying it at launch,unless its strictly limited,but like past HALO CE's I doubt it will be.

lol That's fine. I wouldn't pursuade you otherwise my friend. In fact, at this point in the Halo universe, I'm just "collecting" the games for completion...I'm not really interested in playing them.

I have to ask this as I don't quite understand why you would get it if you don't plan on playing it. Seems crazy to me

Mighty Ape has preorder skins up, as well as being about $80 ( $48 cheaper than the $128 everywhere else) The skins are worth a look at considering that i've yet to see any others pop up yet.
