... and this is why most consumer activism doesn't work. They know that the loudest complainers go ahead and spend money anyway, and those who vote with their wallets don't always bother to say anything about it, so they just ignore what everyone says and pay attention only to what they do.

It can work. The REAL ID fiasco with Blizzard is an example of how to do it right. Tons of folks started canceling pre-orders for SC2. A LOT. So many, that they took notice and rolled back the change.

But you have to act and actually cancel.

Honestly think I'm done with Collector's Editions for right now. It all looks really cool for sure, but I'm perfectly happy with just the game.... and that expansion pass.

I wish there was a Ghost [Digital] Edition where I could get all of that stuff and just the digital version of the game.

Now it's likely that I won't get the Ghost Edition just because of that.

So it's likely the Digital Limited Edition I think.

Also, question, how easy it to turn off the ghost....

I then had an impulsive visit to EB games and walked out with a PS4, Xbone w/o Kinect + Titanfall CE and Wolfenstein. So much for that plan.

Hehe... I mainly remember the Halo 2 LE for the special manual (something NOBODY gets anymore with modern games) and the steel book... that never held my Halo 2 disk very well.

Fond memories. I pulled out my Halo 2 LE the other day to play with the kids. Enjoyed the manual again. And smiled as the disc fell out of the case as it always did before.

When I do buy it will be a digital version. No more stuff in my house please.

Same here. For Xbox 360.

Post your experience. Really curious as to how this game scales, and what kind of experience 360 owners will get.

Well, hopefully anyway. My money situation needs to turn around real fast for that to happen. What really sold me on the whole thing is well, the Ghost that comes with it. That's actually one of the coolest things I've seen included in a collectors edition of, well... anything really. Though I'm not too keen on the color scheme, it's not really my cup of tea. Maybe switch out that red for blue and i'll be even more sold.

Haha. Agreed. Maybe later in the year we can have a "Repaint your Ghost contest" or something :)

What's the best special edition you've ever bought?

None, actually. Being a kid when the Halo games were coming out, I was pretty much broke all the time, let alone aware of any special editions that did exist. By the time I was able to make those kinds of decisions, it was just too late. Sad times aside however, all this awesome content really makes me want to join the party this go around.

P.S. Bungie, if it's not too late, have it say the Moon Wizard line! :)

Total deal breaker for me if it doesn't!

No frills, just game.

Same here. For Xbox 360.

I'll be looking into the whole Xbox One vs PS4 thing later.

I changed my mind. I was mad this morning. I cooled off.

I do intend to speak up a lot more about stupid exclusives and poor developer / publisher to gamer communications though. What's happening, even if Bungie doesn't like it, is still happening and they're now part of it. Console exclusives are one thing, charging different sets of gamers the same price for different levels of content though... That needs to stop.

Bravo.

360 less sure, but pretty confident. I think most if not all retail games have been released digitally for the 360 since the One came out.

You're probably correct but it can't be bought for XB1 yet.
