Halo Reach Coming in 3 Editions (2 Special) April 22, 2010

Bungie.net officially announced today that their newest game, Halo Reach, will have not one, but two special editions.

Following in the footsteps of Halo 3, Halo Reach will feature a Collector’s Edition and a Legendary Edition.  The CE will cost 80 dollars US, and feature a special case, downloadable exclusive elite armor, and a box of behind the scenes material.  The LE will cost 150 dollars US and feature everything the CE has, as well as downloadable Spartan armor and a 10 pound diaorama of the entire Noble Team as done by McFarlane toys.

I can still remember thinking that Halo 3’s Legendary Edition at it’s 130 dollar price point, was going to sell out immediatly.  Months later the retailers were trying their best to offload the giant packages and I saw prices for it as low as 30 dollars.  I do think that Bungie is repeating a mistake here, what made the Legendary Edition good was not the helmet, but the exclusive third DVD with the extra documentaries and paticularly the Halo 1 and 2 commentary.  It doesn’t look like any DVDs will ship with these editions, begging the question as to why bother picking them up.  I am curious however what is in the box of behind the scenes material.
