Does Microsoft Know What Limited Edition Means?

Console-Central:

"What does this all mean? Limited edition means for only a certain amount of time and then discontinue the product. Apparently Limited Edition means nothing to Microsoft. People went up to the midnight launch including myself along with a few friends to get Halo 3. While disappointed I thought to myself that I still was one of the few that manage to get their hands on the limited edition Halo 3 Legendary Edition.

I forked over $130 for that dumb package and it wasn't even worth it. The DVD's sucked the game sucked all that was maybe worth something is the helmet to store your games. But one has to learn the hard way. Halo 3 Supposedly sold 8.1 million copies up to date then why the hell do they have plenty of Halo 3 Legendary Edition Packages. Did they print many so that each and every single person has one? I don't know. All I know is that the idiots over at EBgames and Gamestop are selling the Legendary edition for only $79.99. What kind of S#!% is that. "

Please note some grammar and spelling has been corrected.

I don't think the guy who wrote this is a happy person....

BrianC62346693d ago

That was funny. Poor kid sure wasted a lot of money. Instead of wasting $60 he could have wasted only $20. Here's some advice on these limited editions. Don't be fooled. You won't be able to sell them on eBay later on for a big markup. They're just a way to get more money from you. He could have bought two games with that $120.

llamaman136693d ago

this is the LEGENDARY edition, not the limited edition. retard.

Regret6693d ago

And "legendary" is supposed to be limited.

Mu5afir6693d ago

This is the limited edition "retard."

CrazzyMan6693d ago

jsut go on amazon ant type halo 3.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref...
You will get:
simple edition - $59.99.
limited edition - $69.99.
legendary edition - $129.99.

well, limited edition is still available, but all complains about legendary edition is kinda bullshit.
neither i do support M$, but just stating FACTS, like i always do. =)

Bill Gates6693d ago (Edited 6693d ago )

Stop using the word "retard", or "retarded".

Let me just say this, I know no one who is mentally challenged, or handicapped in any way, but I still find it very offensive, and hurtful when people use that word to put others down on this, or any other site.

I call people BABOONS, robots, or xbots, but it's all in fun and humor, and because I know that no one on this site is truly any of those things. But I at least have the commonsense, and good heart to refrain from using such a harsh, and offensive word as I know someone on this site may be, or may have a loved one who may be mentally/physically challenged, and using such a word may hurt them.

Name calling will always be a part of this site, and so it should be. It's funny, and keeps us coming for more. Baboons, phony boy, xbots, droids, it's all in good clean non-hurtful fun. We're gamers, and gamers like to have fun, and talk smack, but let's not take that smack talking to a level of being a heartless asshole.

So please people, stop referring to people as "retards". It's hurtful.

lawgone6693d ago

I actually agree with Bill for once.

uxo226693d ago

"Limited Edition" does not have to mean limited time. It could also mean limited quantities, and those quantities are determined by the distributor. It could be 1000 units our it could be 3,000,000 units. If there is a set number of the product made and no more than that number will be made then it is a "Limited Edition" product.

This guy should just except that these type of things happen life and quit whining to the world about it. Suck it up and grow up dude, we've all been there.

Blackfrican6693d ago

RETARDS...

Just because you are retarded does not mean you are not human. Retard means slow. Retarded people are slow. Keep bending over and taking it from behind from political correctness, retard.

That's Microsoft's gaming division for you...kill off developers making new ip while trying to capitalize off some long lost glory that has no hope of ever being what it once was thanks to recent decision making favoring unrealistic profit goals and greed. What a joke.

Reaper22_190d ago

So much bitterness. Why be upset over something like this. Just don't buy it and stick with what you prefer.

Tacoboto190d ago

Complaining about Microsoft is the only thing people comment here for anymore.

This website is practically dead without it

Mmmkay190d ago

I remember when you guys constantly complained about Sony remaking and remastering games. Guess it is cool now. As usual.

thesoftware730190d ago

Give it rest medman..., take a deep breath and try to not sound so invested in something no one is forcing you to read, buy, or play.

"Console war"is over, Sony won, be happy.

medman185d ago (Edited 185d ago )

@thesoftware730
I'm invested in people losing their jobs and their livelihoods while Microsoft execs tout record profits for their gaming division. Not sure why you wouldn't be invested. Could be you one day. Good luck.

Travesty190d ago

So what’s their solution to having multiplayer? Wait until Halo 7?
That was one of the most memorable parts of Halo..

monkey602190d ago

I'm not sure spending the heavy investment in time to recreate the multiplayer here is the answer either though.
Remaking the campaigns is a great idea to bring the new players up to speed. But if the multiplayer is included in each it'll just fracture the player base of each release.
I think it might be better to turn these campaigns out quicker and have 1 multiplayer game to keep everyone in one place

Travesty190d ago

Maybe having an Halo Online and just release the Combat Evolve maps. And when Halo 2 releases have those maps release. I don’t know but I would like to play a newer version of Halo multiplayer. I know times have changed, and Fortnite is all younger kids really play. But back then it was Halo and you connecting 6 Xbox’s together lol.

jjb1981190d ago

I agree. I think that'll segment the playerbase and once 7 comes out, players might realize it sucks and go back to the older games. Especially if 7 is live-servixe, they'll be shooting themselves in the foot on the one good leg they have to stand on.

crazyCoconuts190d ago

Kinda surprised they didn't just port MCC.
Maybe more $ to by made with separate remasters

Inverno190d ago

Wouldn't have that problem if it were MCC being released. Gotta wait for 7 to be disappointed with MP all over again cause if they half baked Infinite what makes people think they won't half bake the next game? MP works in past HALO games not cause of nostalgia but because it's MP that isn't concerned with the endless service approach.

JEECE190d ago

There is so much cognitive dissonance over Infinite. People say they didn't like it because it was a live service. Yet if you look at what the criticisms of it were at the time it came out and when the playerbase started falling off, the primary issue people had was a lack of updates. In other words, it wasn't enough of a live service.

Which is really an encapsulation of the problem with multiplayer today. So many people think that they want to go back to the "good old days" of mid-2000s multiplayer (The first few Halos, Socom, the first few Battlefields, CS 1.6, etc), but in reality if a multiplayer game like that came out today, people would whine about the lack of content within a month of launch and go back to a live service with a grindy progression system.

isarai190d ago

Why not just port the MCC? 🤔 That was the easiest layup ever and you completely missed it

franwex190d ago

30% profit margins! People will pay $70+ for remakes!

Software_Lover190d ago

I thought the same thing, then I realized that they wouldn't include the remakes in that edition. We may get a different version of Halo MCC in the future with all of the remakes included. I just want them to include Halo 5 at some point for PC.

TheColbertinator190d ago

Can they remake Reach too with the multiplayer?

Knightofelemia190d ago

I wonder if Microsoft will port Reach over to Playstation I quite enjoyed that game. I played Halo 3 and it was not bad I have Halo 2 on the OG Xbox I just need some cables to hook up to my tv to play it.

Infinite is a dumpster fire and as much as I like ODST, in no universe it ranks above Halo 2. This list is trash.

Kaii852d ago

Just exclude Infinite>5>4

ChasterMies852d ago

Best to worst: Halo 3, Halo 2, Halo Reach, Halo CE, Halo 4, Halo ODST, Halo Infinite, Halo 5.
