But if Knight would do it he got my vote

I vote gasoline and a match and we all gather to see how quickly it burns

Wow guys, just wow. It's been a rough day for me today (I mean as far as 1st world problems go and such, obviously there are far worse things, I'm just saying comparatively here)... first the "Metroid" fiasco, and now this...






And then it was confirmed on Twitter by a Halo spokesperson:
RobSemsey "No Disc in LCE"

...I think I might actually cancel my Legendary edition... I may just have to do it to vote with my $$.

[Vlad]

Damn, that's bullshit.
I might cancel mine too if they don't change it somehow.
Seriously, what bloody moron thought of that anyway?

¬'Oh, guys! Great idea! See the biggest, most expensive version? Y'know, the ones that collectors will go for, collectors that will be buying it because they obviously like physical things? Why don't we... Ready for this? Why don't we remove the game disc?! That we they can pre-load the game for release day!'
¬'B... B-But, what's the fucking point, man? They still can't play it until launch... Where, correct me if I'm wrong here, but, traditionally, maybe I'm just weird or I've been breaking some kind of rule my entire gaming life, but I get the disc on launch day, stick it in and... -BANG!- I can play my game!'
¬'You shut your mouth with that sort of heinous sensible talk! I'm not confusing the demographic of the collectors market that'll prefer physical copies to those that'll want the game exactly on midnight just so they can get marginally advanced in multiplayer! Also, think of it, we'll save literally dozens of pennies on game discs! Then, even better, the dumb bastards that'll go for this can't even trade it in later if they want to! Our E3 2013 draconian DRM policies are one step closer to finally happening again!'


He just posted what each edition contains an hour ago though.

its like a nintendo console with no good games


oh wait.......

[0329liuken]

Yeah what's the point of having a steelbook if they don't include the game disc?

Also, it also posts some risk of losing a lot of money... People could order it from Amazon, redeem the code for the game and then return the edition, so they can get the game for free...

How stupid is Microsoft...

I Was On Board With Getting The LE. After Seeing The Contents I'm Trying To Figure Out If I Should Still Get It. I Know The Game Alone Is $60 But Is This Really Worth Buying? .... Sucks For Those Who Wanted The LCE Only To Find Out There's No Disc. Seriously How Hard Would It Have Been To Include One? For As Much As The LCE Costs There Should Have Been One. I Prefer Physical Over Download So It Wasn't Even An Option.

the statue is being done by triforce. You can expect cancellations less than a week before release.

[Twisted]

this is one of the most absurd thing I've heard in game collecting..make a top tier edition..so those fans are forced to double dip right off the bat..what kind of collector buys physical goods..but does NOT want a physical game?..and then give them a case for the game..but no disc.?

[singer07]

answer = M$. example: new very nice controller... oh its $150.
