Official Halo Reach thread

out of curiosity is anyone going with the limited or legendary editions?

limited, mostly for the soundtrack

Just got an email from Amazon. Their Release Day Delivery shipping option which was formerly $5.98 has been reduced to $0.99. If you've currently got an order for Reach placed with release day delivery, follow these steps to get the discount:

1. Visit your account
2. Click on “Your Orders”
3. Navigate to Halo Reach
4. Click on “Change Shipping Speed”
5. Select your desired shipping speed

nice, are they planning on extending this to all games or just certain ones?

 

[james1701]

I ordered the Legendary. Add the $40.00 trade in GS is offering, and a $25.00 gift card from doing E-rewards makes it worth my while. I can grab a couple of the kids games they don't play much and have forgotten about. It should look good next to my helmet from the H3 edition.

I wonder the same thing. The way it's written makes it sound like all games until the very end where it says something like "we know how anxious Halo players are about Reach" or something to that effect. I almost posted this in the Hot Deals forum saying all games until I re-read it.

If I win a contest, yes.

maybe when it drops to 49.99 like halo3s did. i would love to have the statue by not at that price.

curious if they will extend it to the next wow xpac for the same reasons. saving 9$ on shipping is always nice

Odd, I thought release day shipping was always $6.

Agreed. I can't verify if it's all games myself because of Prime. I went to make a mock order with Black Ops but it pops up with free release day shipping so I can't verify.

 

[IceBergSLiM]

Yea seriously. I am less than pleased with the build quality of those machines. If my other machines from Sony and Nintendo were dying I would think it was something I was doing. heh

had one RROD when I left the 360 running for about 8 days while i was on vacation. Since its been repaired no issues whatsoever....been about 2 years.

 

[Anubis]

Odd, I thought release day shipping was always $6..

there is no release day option for it currently on the preorder, it does standard, 3-5 day, 2 day and 1 day

1 day is $9 and change

could be because it doesn't actually have a release date yet

Sweet thanks, I had to change to another shipping method and then back to release date shipping to get it to show up.

That would be my guess.

I had to do the same thing. Thanks Kabob for the heads up.

i played a bit through the first level of the bootleg version of this the other day. played like 30 mins and got a dirty disc error and lost all my progress so i said f it i'm waiting till i buy it. in all honesty it was kind of boring and the 2 new rifles (one covenant and one marine) felt a lot weaker than i expected. however, i buy halo for multiplayer, not single player, so i don't really care how good/bad the single player is. granted, i will finish it coop for s ure.

i went and got in on that best buy deal last night and did in store pickup. $60 for the normal version and a $20 gift card and $10 credit rewardzone. don't think that can be beat.

Hah. I don't either. That's still an awesome deal though. Depending on how the "select games" come out it is basically by Reach and get a free game.

pretty sure its not ok to post you pirated an unreleased copy of the game. :hmm::hmm:

Also doesn't that guarantee you get your XBL account banned?

didn't say that i pirated it, just said that i played it.

i don't have a modded 360 anymore, banned + RRoD for the 5th time = done with it.
