Jeeze. I like Halo in all. But this is way too much for me to even care about.

The legendary edition costs 150 bucks and seem a lot more promising than the prestige edition of MW2.

I really love the design.  The colour, not so much.
Still, my launch 360 is still chugging along, but I may just pick one of these up at Christmas.
 
The pre-order/bonus codes are likely to go for a fair bit on eBay.

Am i the only one who thinks the special edition console doesn't look so great. I prefer the normal black 360 "slim" over this any day. Should of made it a reflective texture like the new style guide button..

How about you take your own advice? There's no need to act like an asshole. Like you said, it's a video game.

I feel there's no need to act like what happens in a video game should be honored as if they are war heroes. Considering that you can restart at checkpoints at any time after, excuse me, dying, they don't need to do this crap.
 
I'm all for taking yourself seriously within the actual game, but when it comes to trying to act like it's some great act of heroics in person it just comes off as ridiculous to me.
 
edit: I'm also not against anyone who wants that fancy fancy edition, I just highly doubt anyone would say they bought it to "commemorate the halo manz I used."

The maquette isn't made for the purpose of people to "honor" Noble 6 outside the game. It's made in the same mind set like all the "Believe" shorts that were for Halo 3, commemorating Master Chief's "death". It's like a replica of what a supposed memorial to Noble 6 would've looked like during the fall of Reach.

Firstly, how is that any different from my point? Just say, hey you get this cool maquette with the game, rather than making it superficial.
 
Secondly, she says directly quoting, "This is a memorial to commemorate the ultimate sacrifice that noble team had to make." I went off what was presented in the video.
 
It's been discussed elsewhere before, but I think there are better things developers can put in their limited edition than these figures such as making-of videos. I would be much more interested in seeing how they made the game rather than a more marketing oriented collection, though you can't blame them at all for going that way.

That's interesting  - pause and read the small print on the standard version of the game: 
 
Includes: In game Spartan Armour 
(via preorder in non-US territories). 
 
 Bummer for you American Halo fans.

You get the armour in the US for buying the game on the first day.
 
I think this is just a culture thing.  In Europe/Australia, people tend to pre-order games online and have them sent for release day.  Hence why we get the codes for pre-ordering..  In the US, it's a lot more common to just wait inline and buy the game in a store.

@Branthog:
I Agree, this "Limited" edition stuff is crap. 
 
If you want to know more about the spartans, don't read hasley's notes. Read the novels. 
If your into action figures i suppose those things would be cool, but at the end of the day are you buying the game or buying the other junk. 
 
Seriously "the ultimate sacrifice noble team had to make".... um its a game lady. 
 
If i buy this i will be buying the Regular Edition.

I just can't justify an extra $70 for the Legendary when the only thing extra you're getting is a statue and some in game helmet.

The console looks sweet, nice to see it's nit covered totally in art. Some custom consoles can be to much.
