$250.00 for a video game.... a game that will NEVER appreciate in value and that millions upon millions of people will own.

Meanwhile, some kid in some third world country needs a cup of soup just to live through the night...

It's not $250 for a game though. Most of the money is for the statue. There won't be millions of people that own that and it probably will appreciate in value.

It's a piece of plastic, manufactured in high volume. Even if it were limited, it's still HALO 5... not Halo 1. There's no way this thing is going to retain any value at all imo.

There's a Halo Reach legendary edition statue on ebay right now for £41.00 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HALO-REACH-LEGENDARY-EDITION-STATUE-ONLY-IN-BOX-NEW-OFFICIAL-V-5-GUARDIANS-/262080357063?hash=item3d0534e2c7

With 2 days to go the price will likely increase as well. That edition of the game retailed for £100 so after taking out the cost of the game itself then the statue has retained its value.


Oh, my bad. Yeah. Totally worth spending $250.00 dollars on a piece of plastic so I can then sell it 10 years later for the same price (which actually means you lost money since inflation is a thing).

If you don't want to spend the money then don't. No use crying about it if you don't even want the statue. There are people who collect Limited Edition things. This is for them. People who want the game can pay $59.99

That must be a very nice statue...

Still far cheaper than resident evil special editions

A lot of people may get confused and buy it thinking it's an xbox one bundle.

And why is that?

There is no mention of a bundle anywhere but this guy who created the OP... I do not know how someone could mistaken this for a console where there is no where in title or description talking about the console.

It's ok if you do not know how someone may mistaken this for a console bundle. That is a good thing.

Then suddenly people act like it's the only game that had this kind of very limited edition... go Microsoft, you're so stupid that you are selling a game 250$... what!
