    Everyone with the Limited Edition is complaining about the protection inside.

    Lots saying their CD is scratched like a well used disc, most of them work fine still but some are scratched so much they don't work.

    Looks like the Disc has just been allowed to knock side to side in the case (resulting in scratches).

    I'd personally go for the standard edition, it's cheaper and all you get extra on the limited edition is behind the scenes video.

    The disk was loose, the plastic holder that held the disk.....well didn't hold it in tranpsort. Mine is barely scratched, probably the posted nes that took a battering.
    There's a nice little artwork book in the Lim Ed, my son will love looking at that.

    Yeah, for US users though, not sure if its for europe also.

    Anyway, if you get a game you want to be playing it not fussing about getting it replaced etc....

    I went with the standard edition.

    There's a possibility of getting Halo 3 for from Gamestation for £29.98.

    They had a poster up offering Halo 3 for £9.99 if you traded in Stranglehold.
    According to the website Stranglehold is on offer for £19.99.

    So buy Stranglehold then trade it back in with £9.99 for Halo 3.

    Haven't tried it myself but if they've got stock it should be fine.

    I'm a bit gutted actually.

    Rang our local store, and sales assistant told me he only had 3 left, 1 special edition, 2 normal.

    So, I b*mbed down there from work just now, and he only had 2 regular left!! This was in the space of 15 minutes! Ugh. Nevermind, Hubby is well pleased and very surprised! He didn't think I paid much attention to his obsession with the xbox 360!! hmmmmmmmm
