Unfortunately, the above pic isn't mine. It belongs to the photostream of Flickr user "mrandypuppy". And yes, that's the Limited Edition version of Halo Wars, in its opened, weeks before release glory...
Halo Wars Limited Edition, on my dining room table ready for me to play, a week before official release in Australia and two weeks before the US. Feeling good (oh, and the game rocks).
Andy is a lucky guy. You can imagine my surprise, then, when during a trip to my local Wal-Mart last night, I saw a whole stack of Halo Wars LE in the game case. They had tags up and everything. I was sorely tempted to buy it right then and there. However, frugality won out and I decided not to. If it had been the regular version, I might have been directing some Spartans to blow stuff up last night. I might just stop by there on my way home tonight...
Anyone else seen Halo Wars for sale early? Or any other big games, before release?
In similar news, Buy.com is offering the LE version of Halo Wars for the same price as the regular edition. If you aren't treking out to find a retailer with a broken street date, you might want to hop on this deal - especially since it has free shipping!
