Halo Reach is Bungieâs last hurrah in the Halo universe, and they arenât saying goodbye without a lovely Limited Edition and one final, ultra-expensive Legendary Edition.
First we have the Halo Reach Limited Edition, priced at $79.99. $20 over the standard price scores fans a recovered ONI âblack boxâ holding the game disc, an exclusive set of Elite armor for multiplayer, and an artifact bag containing Dr. Halseyâs personal journal and various documents and effects that explore the history of the Halo universe.
With a price of $149.99, the Halo Reach Legendary Edition is one of the pricier collectorâs editions weâve seen, but it certainly isnât without reason. Thereâs not mini-plastic cat helmet inside this box. Instead, Bungie commissioned McFarlane Toys to create a 10 inch tall, 10 pound diorama statue featuring the members of Noble Team, the stars of the game.
As if that werenât enough, the Legendary Edition also comes with a flaming Spartan helmet for multiplayer, as well as all of the contents of the Limited Edition, all packed inside a striking UNSC-themed custom box.
If thatâs not a fine sendoff for Bungieâs final game in the Halo series, I donât know what is. I plan on preordering the standard edition, and then begging my GameStop manager to put aside one of the Legendary Editions for me at the last minute, when my resolve falters.
