Halo 5 Fans are In for a Rude Awakening After the Download code to Disc Exchange

Our photo has been blurred so as to protect our writers information.

Many of you know we’ve been following the Halo 5: Guardians Disc Exchange Program where fans could trade in their Limited Collector’s Edition or Console Code for a physical copy of Halo 5. Digging around as much as we could on the Halo Waypoint forums and even our very own exchange tracking, we received our game this morning. Having had FedEx knocking on the home door to my house/personal office, it was time to grab that.. Little black package? Wait a second, what happened to that Limited Collector’s Edition casing?

That’s a question many of you fans are probably asking. After reaching out to Xbox Support we were given a very blank statement that seems scripted to help with any outraged fans that stated the following, “We are unable to send out the Halo 5 Limited Collector’s Edition item. We are only authorized for the standard game”. To be honest? It seems to have added more fuel to the fire as you can see via the Halo Waypoint – How to trade your code for a physical copy discussion on the latest posts. Even we have commented and confirmed with the fact we’ve gotten the same thing. So did Microsoft change out the statement of players receiving the Limited Collector’s Edition content? So far I personally have received a code for all DLC, but not a Limited Edition disc as they made it seem like we would be getting.

Did you get just a regular copy or a Limited Collector’s Edition copy with the exchange? Let us know in the comments.

B.A.T.G.R.’s Dustin and Greg Unbox the Halo 5: Guardians Limited Edition Console

With the count down to Halo having begun on Oct. 20th, we decided to upload our unboxing of the console. We do apologize for any volume issues as well as lighting issues as our camera was dying (not the batteries) in the middle of filming this. However, overall? We’re pretty impressed with the console itself.

Halo 5: Guardians is set to launch October 27th, 2015 and is currently available for pre-downloading exclusively through the Xbox Live Marketplace. Stay tuned for our upcoming review in early November.

There’s always something nice about when the holidays roll around. This time it’s that Sony has announced that they are dropping the price of the Sony PlayStation 4 this holiday season. So for those of you that have a PlayStation 4 on your holiday wish list? That’s a great bit of news as you can see above. Sony is dropping the price of the console by $50 USD in order to compete with the Microsoft Xbox One, which has been sitting comfortable at the $349.99 USD price point where the Xbox One has found a comfortable price point as of recent.

The question that will lay underneath the surface? Is this permanent or will this be a temporary ordeal just for the holidays? All we can do is sit and wait in order to see how far this goes for both bundles and non-bundles.
