Halo 4 Limited Edition: Difference between revisions

The '''Halo 4 Limited Edition''' is a limited edition of ''[[Halo 4]]'' which will cost $99.99 USD in the United States at time of release.<ref name="bulletin">[http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/05/16/The-Halo-Bulletin-51612.aspx '''Halo Waypoint''', ''Halo Bulletin 5-16-12'']</ref> It contains additional content not found in the standard edition. Unlike ''[[Halo 3]]'' and ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', the ''Halo 4 Limited Edition'' will be the ultimate and only special edition. No Legendary Edition will be released, due to [[343 Industries]] not wanting consumers to have to choose which version-specific ancillary items they would receive.<ref name="bulletin"/>

The limited edition is presented in a large, minimalistic grey case that is adorned with an updated [[UNSC]] insignia; the game itself will be included in a smaller silver tin case that features similar artwork to the larger case and is embossed with futuristic artwork. The contents will include:<ref name="bulletin"/>
