OXCGN Unboxes Halo: ODST Collectors Pack

OXCGN has posted a detailed unboxing of Halo:ODST's Collectors Pack.

"Today is a special day for the majority of 360 gamers… today once again is Halo day. The day when some people stay up until the wee hours of the morning just to play their game first or for some of us more 'sane' people (like me) who wake up at around 9am… they might make it down to the store sometime during the daytime to pick their shiny new copy of Halo: ODST..."

I know im loving my CE Controller :D

[captain-obvious]

the controller in that Collectors Edition is green

[Boody-Bandit]

Yeah that seems a little off to me as well. I would think it would be black and blue with maybe silver or white for the fine lines/detail. All the advertising I see for ODST is black and blue. IMO this doesn't match.

Eh... I'm thinking about getting the standard edition at the store today and picking up Katamari Forever for my wife. I really don't need another controller.

Personally I'm a tad disappointed in MS with ODST's Collectors Edition. Yet on the other hand, it is a great investment if you're after a second controller as well as the game for co-op.

For both a wireless controller and a AAA Game, $AU129 is a fair asking point, especially considering the games normal RRP is $AU100, you're getting the controller for just $AU29 bucks.

I would have thought an extra artbook, figurine and say a History Of Halo Series booklet would have rounded out a "special Collectors Edition.

But hey, that's coming from a collectors point of view, not an ardent Halo nut . .

I loved the Making-Of DVD that came with Halo 2 and 3.

Shame they didn't do it again. =( But pretty awesome value if you need another controller though!

[Immortal Kaim]

Cool, playing ODST now, enjoying it so far.

[Godem]

just beat it then... great game although quite short

[candidgamer]

ODST - ready to drop, SIR!

[darkmurder]

Controller looks sweet!

[XboxOZ360]

I'd have preferred something different as I mentioned, even at the odst warthog event they had different stuff that would have suite dthe limited edition beautifully. But hey . . it all costs money and in the long run, we do get a bargain all things considering with these packs.

So there's no battery with this CE controller? Does that mean you will have to get a black or white battery with your Halo controller or is there a way to keep a design harmony?

[XboxOZ360]

There's a battery, and the case for it is black, like the underside of the controller, you'll see a shot of the batteries in one of the images actually . . I know, I saw them when I was editing the article and adding the images.

The underside is meant to be a sort of dark grey, which is wht the battery case is, the tops of the 360 controller wrap around and are halfway around the sides, so the colour goes underneath as well. So it might look odd, but that is how it is supposed to look, sort of military in a sort of odd way.
