All of Halo's Preorder Bonuses: Are They Worth It?

[@OnyxLeviathan]

A few have pointed out how this video mostly goes over limited versions of the games on release, which is true. However, since a lot of these limited editions were in such low number as to be bought out by release night, I've decided to keep them described as preorder bonuses. As such, I will leave them as described.

[@Godzilla_Cheeze]

Wdym?

[@AFistfulofCrayons]

@@Godzilla_Cheeze Halo Wars' pre-order bonus through Gamestop was the Fireball Warthog skin. Instead of mentioning the bonus, the entire Limited Edition was showcased. Nothing wrong with that, but not talking about the actual pre-order bonuses does validate the pinned comment so "Ackshually" nerds don't overtake the comments.

I think a retitle is deserved I don’t see the blow up energy sword or beanie I got for pre ordering halo reach and going to the launch, collectors editions are different priced things not free bonuses

[@MrDaDukee]

I had been working all summer to earn up to a 360, with halo 3 as my ultimate goal. Then the day came and I called ahead to the GAME store, asking if they had everything in and asked my mom to give me a ride. But it had been a mistake in their store lists and they didn't have any standard editions in of halo. Clerk took pity on me and went "well we do have a legendary edition we just aren't getting sold... how about we write it off as a standard ed?" So I got legendary edition for half price roughly, still have in proudly in my shelf.

[@OnyxLeviathan]

That’s awesome! I’m glad that happened for you.

[@xXblazmodzXx]

That is absolutely heartwarming.. I hope nothing ended up happening to him as a result for giving away such an expensive product at such a huge discount, but my god that is seriously so sweet, and I love that. Legendary indeed ♥

[@AngryWildMango]

nice! I sold all my gamecube and PS2 stuff at gamestop to get it XD I have gotten back most of the ps2 stuff recently. bu it was not worth selling. I remember getting 50c for so many games. but when my halo 3 got a grinded ring from the 360. the same Gamestop did just give me a new disk.

[@JorganVonDangle]

That’s awesome man. I remember one time I went to a midnight release of one of the ghost recon games and I was pretty much the only one in line. The clerk must have thought it was cool because he gave me one of those massive 6 foot promotional posters.

[@GTAwesome]

Sounds like the Clerk was a true Spartan!

[@Grayday117]

Your dad let you skip school to play the game?! Lucky…

[@Nacalal]

Man I remember walking home from class one day to see my parents had bought me the collectors edition for halo 2, that was the highlight of the year. I had never seen a game come in a metal case before, stick sticks with me how cool it was at the time. I also remember having the legendary edition for reach, it was the coolest thing opening it and finding all those bits of lore and stuff.

[@OnyxLeviathan]

Yeah! They were super fun, especially when no one had access yet so each person dove into the new stuff at once.

[@CoreyandCrew]

Yes I had the reach statue and shit

[@hm-mt3wj]

The book was the best

[@CoreyandCrew]

@@hm-mt3wj yea I remember being a kid and feeling like the world was so real. Having the diary of Halsey with the blood on the last page and stuff. We used it as a prop in our games outside. Too bad it was harder to come buy Halo guns and helmets for kids than it is today. I have a few energy swords and a needler I got from Walmart. I like that Halo has lived so long. The way things are going with infinite is good. A lot of negative stuff about progression and microtransactions, but thats how you know a game is good. when the problems we have are so easily fixed. I am confident in the future of our game friends.

[@deth_boi3284]

I have the Halo 2 limited collectors edition. Got it for around 7 bucks lol. It’s in good shape. This thing isn’t expensive in general, so if you want a collectors edition, this is a good one for its price.

Agreed. You can find them in second hand stores fairly often.

[@jflamen]

Is there anywhere online that it could be found, or is it just something you would have to come across at a second hand store like the comment above me said?

When I was 12 I wanted the recon helmet pre-order bonus but didn't actually pre order it, and asked the game stop employee if I could get it (almost 8 months after release) we went to the back and took a recon code AND a flaming helmet code from a legendary edition and gave it to me for free, that guy made my childhood amazing and I never took off those flames and that recon helmet, to this day I still have them on

The only thing I regret is not being old enough to have understood the value of pre-ordering the limited/legendary editions for Halo back then. Then again I was only a few years old when Halo: CE and Halo 2 came out. I didn’t actually start pre-ordering until Halo Reach.

I’ve made my own Legendary edition at the moment with the Halo console and Elite series 2 :) really loving them both right now, never had an Elite controller before, I really wish it had a share/save clip button though.

We got to keep midnight releases alive guys. Seriously nothing is more fun than bullshiting around with people anxiously waiting for the doors to open at midnight and get the new game. I went to Halo 3 and Reach midnight releases and there was something about being up late, no school that day and getting home at 1 am to slap the new disk into your Xbox 360 and play the campaign then multiplayer till sun came up and all day. It was glorious.

As a kid my dad worked tirelessly to get the limited editions of each halo - often from ebay since I was born in 99. He wanted to make sure I had everything I'd ever wanted from this universe that sucked me in. I'm so grateful - I've read halseys journal countless times, and the halo 3 helmet is still my prized possession. I had completely forgotten about a lot of these items and seeing them again was a flood of nostalgia, I cant believe child me didn't have the foresight to look after some of these. Thank you for this video

I bought the Heroic Edition of Halo: Reach from Amazon a number of years after it's release. There was an issue with the packaging at delivery, so I complained and was given a discount, which dropped the total price I paid to slightly less than $20! This originally retailed for $80, and it stands as the best deal I have ever gotten as far as video games go - the contents of the ONI module were definitely worth the $80, and the games was great to boot! I got the Halo 5 Guardian Metal Earth kit from eBay, and I am still in the process of building it (I've built over 20 of their kits, including Master Chief's helmet, the Warthog, and Pelican Dropship [half complete]). Great review, very comprehensive!

Halo Reach Heroic Edition always has a special place in my heart. When I got my first Xbox, my dad accidentally moved it with my initial copy of Reach inside, got it scratched up. To make it up to me, next Christmas my dad bought me the Heroic Edition. It was an above and beyond gift that I still treasure today.

[@Soliye.]

Funny how a game's Legendary Edition back then had a full on Helmet display piece, a load of interesting lore documents with beautiful illustration, Lengthy and interesting making-off footage, a nice poster to show off and a cool cover for the game's discs (Also with some in game bonus). Now for a similar price tag, you don't even own the game and there's nothing physical whatsoever. Meaning the game goes offline, you lose any bonus you paid for.

[@Tanubi]

Love the video, very informative but I think it's worth noting that the term “Pre-order bonuses” is a little wrong here. Editions and content that comes with them are not pre-order bonuses, just edition content. Usually these things are meant to be available in limited quantities even after pre-orders. It's also worth pointing out for anyone trying to pick up Halo 3 Legendary edition, it does not come with the steel box of the limited edition. Two black plastic dvd cases and that's it with a disc in each and that's it. The pre-order bonuses from bad memory are, HR- Recon helmet variant - UA chest variant HW - Honour Wraith - Flaming Warthog HODST - Johnson H4 - Weapon Skins and emblems, think maybe armour variants. H5 - Think emblems and couple armour variants. Think that's everything. Just extra information for any collector who drops by looking to gather information. Reach Legendary edition is best in terms of edition content and sadly H4 is best for pre-order bonuses as it had 4 when I ordered mine. These all became available in the not deserved GOTY edition later on.

[@DeathBringer769]

I still have my Chief helmet from pre-ordering the legendary edition of Halo 3, and I also have the limited edition steelbook of Halo 2.

Well what does a 10 year old do on the weekend? Stay up ridiculously late, because at 1 in the morning in came the missing step-brother with a GameStop bag he hands me the bag saying “merry early Christmas and happy early birthday have fun.” I opened the bag and in it sat the standard edition of Halo Reach. My first Halo game that was truly mine. My older brother (another brother) and I stayed up even further and beat the game that night.

The Master Chief helmet is one of my most prized possessions. I got it on release and recently got it signed by Steve Downes.

sold my helmet and statue because they take up so much space and just sit around. i love the detailed books with all the extras. Halsey's journal is incredible.

I got the arbiter and chief poster when I got the normal halo 3 at a local game store when I was little. It was the first Game I bought with my own money. I have it framed on my wall.

Nice! Yeah, it comes with the reg edition but also came with the legendary, so I included it. Such a neat little bonus.

HALO 3 THE GREATEST HALO OF ALL TIME. I remember my dad got me my Xbox 360 and the first game I had was Halo 3 and call of duty modern warfare 4.. those were the days even though I was only like 10 lol.. best memories growing up though, really brings the nostalgia to me😭

I remember pre ordering two of Reach’s Heroic editions, one still has its plastic cover over the “blackbox” while it’s sister unit is missing its cover. Infinite had a preorder bonus as well with GameStop, a limited edition UNSC dog tag, I forgot to pre order Infinite but I did order the steelbook edition later on. Eventually someone donated their UNSC dogtags to goodwill and I bought them, they came unopened, so I have yet to wear them. Halo 4 I pre ordered the limited edition to go along with my Halo 4 edition 360S, and Halo 3’s steelbook edition to go with my Halo 3 edition 360. Halo 2’s steelbook edition I would eventually acquire to accompany my Halo 2 “edition” OG Xbox; yes the ridiculously hard to find Blue Xbox that was sold exclusively in Canada.
