    Use this as link to the images for each store.

    NOTE: It does say armor for some stores, but just disregard that it is false. I did some research on it already, and the only benefits from pre-ordering will be the skins/emblems.

    As for me though, I'm leaning towards the Best Buy skin, but I feel like the Gamestop skin would be easiest to match with any armor.

    Don't have any plans on pre-ordering. It's doubtful that I'm going to buy the game for awhile, so it doesn't seem like it's worth pre-ordering.

    I'm buying most of my games from Zavvi. So yeah, Halo 4 Limited Collectors Edition for only £62,95. Pretty solid deal for me.

    I quickly browsed through the list and decided that it was all meaningless gobbledy-gook, so pre-order bonuses will continue to not mean much to me.

    On the bright side, let's all be thankful that 343 didn't decide to lock missions or important characters behind pre-order bullshit, because at the end of the day the Halo 4 cosmetic stuff isn't really that damaging to the consumer. It's a sort-of win!

    You could just, you know, not respond. If you don't like the series, fine, but there are far worse games out there. Do you seriously think that Halo is as bad as truly dumpster-deserved games like ET or Superman 64 or Daikatana?

    Yeah, you might be joking or exaggerating, but that's still quite uncalled for.

    As for me pre-ordering it? I guess I have to go ahead and say that for once Halo isn't on top of my radar. Yeah, I love the series, but I've got all of them. I've got the first game three different times (original Xbox, PC, 360) and the second one twice (PC, Xbox), and the rest of them. I would rather my money go toward, say, Dishonored or something else other than another Halo game. I'll get a hold of it before a year's up, but before next year is seriously doubtful. Same goes for BlOps 2 (which I really wasn't going to get after Modern Warfare 3's blandness but they appear to be injecting fun into it again.)

    I hate pre-Ordering, but I did from a local play and trade, just so I could get it at midnight.

    To those worried about Pre-order "bonuses" don't, they're just "Skins" not armour, Halo is always good about making the pre-order stuff as small as possible it's stuff that in the long run you'll likely not use, it is these stupid shops that make it seem like you're getting more than you are.

    In fact I would bet that these are going to all be unlockable through the normal course of play, if not something very similar.

    Thinking of pre-ordering from Best-Buy. I really like that skin. However, I rarely pre-order, so who knows.

    Pre-ordered from GameStop pretty much so I could pay off the LE cost over a couple months so I didn't have this $100 thing to buy smack dab in the holiday season. Really couldn't care less about the skins, they all look super dumb.

    Pre-ordered from Newegg, since it's $48 w/ code EMCJNJD242.

    I wouldn't have bothered to pre-order, but I know my son wants it for XMas, and I'm probably not going to find it much cheaper than $48 between now and then.

    In the UK Amazon is cheaper than everywhere else so... Amazon. The skin I like the most doesn't even seem to be available here and i'm not paying extra to buy it from somewhere else.

    I can't remember a game ever not showing up on release date from Amazon. I've even put in pre-orders 2 or 3 days before it was set to release, and have had it still arrive the day of. This is someone who lives in NYC though, Amazon is obviously used to sending stuff here.

    I've had a game or two show up the day after, but that's when I forget to place my order and do it like the day before. That's still an incredibly fast turnaround time.
