I can see these available for pre-order at limited places here in the UK. Will these be worth a lot after stock level is cleared out? Didn't this happen with the Halo Reach Xbox 360 Limited Edition console?

Might pre-order one and collect :P

Yea I think you could make a profit on it. Just don't open it. Wait a month or two after release and try to sell.

Just don't open it. Will it be worth a lot in the future ? Hmmm, no, not really a lot. I got the GOW and Halo 4 limited edition ones and right now I can get about 15% more of what I paid for them, so as an investment it's pretty much a bad investment.

@miahz1986: No, they typically over produce them. I have had quite a few Halo consoles. You might make a very small profit after shipping, but it's a 343 Halo. The real money was in Bungie Halo games when Halo demand was at it's peak.

NO! Every Halo system made can be found months later in stores. At least here in the US. I can remember the Halo 3 system being available at some Best Buys close to a year after release.

You will surely get your money back at the very least. But to be honest, working up the same amount of money you might get in profits from the console is much faster regardless of profession in the western countries.

Honest truth, if they overproduce like normal, you wont see any roi until it is at least 15-20 years old. Once people start foolishly throwing them out(i.e. clueless parents) and more of them start to fail, then the price will finally start to go up.

Check ebay out if you want to know how it'll hold its value, you can currently buy a Halo Reach X360 for about 33-50% of its original cost.

Why bother with transfer print anyway. It is not as if the limited editions are actually what could be classed as fully modded. Just a marketing gimmick imho.
