Mate, spoke with Mighty Ape – NZ, they should have emailed you by now, and it has been sorted, and re-creditedto your pre-order list as of this afternoon their time.

Hope that helps, so you’ll STILL be getting your Halo Reach Legendary Edition as origionally desired.

Let me know if there’s anything else like that that pops up, applies to anyone. We’ll always see what we can do from our end with regards to our readers.

I’ll check with them and see what the issue is, they found me one and have added it to my pre-order list. Did you email them back at all (politely of course) as they are very helpful, they also have an Australian site to.

Will get back to you if I hear anything – ok. [ed]

I’ve just checked my pre-order account on Mighty Ape (NZ) pre-order account, and there’s no notice in there about anything to do with the Halo edition you mentioned, but will send an email to a connection I have there . . .

Wow, they recommend Mighty Ape? I just got a email today stating that their supplier cannot send them any of the Halo Reach Legendary Editions. Because of that my Pre-order is canceled. I am very upset.

Grant Smythe – 2 words for you “Absolute Legend”

This article captured a few of the reasons why consumers and gamers alike devote their time and resources into obtaining so called collector’s & limited edition title releases.

I for one subscribe to the collectors theory, not for profit or future potential re-sale value. But solely because it looks great and there is always that sense of ownership that these items give oneself, that and bragging rights with mates and forums.

Though this article does go to show how re-sale of such items can fetch crazy amounts of money (I should know, I paid $370 for a brand new copy of the extremely limited edition release of Metal Gear Solid 4) This is just a small part of being a collector.

FYI:
Thanks to your article, I have put down a pre-order for The Reach 360 Console and a copy of Halo Reach Legendary (Someone at Game cancelled their order an hour before I inquired about it – WIN/WIN
