I don't know what comes in each edition (other than the regular one haha), but you could turn this into a good thing by selling whatever you don't want on eBay. I'm sure some desperate dude will buy whatever fancy thing comes with the Legendary edition for much more than it's worth.I pre-ordered the Limited edition and today I checked my recite and it turns out the guy accidentally put me down as a legendary, and they refuse to change it back. I have to pay for the legendary now because Reach is sold out( both limited and standard) at my gamestop. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Well that was quick.....Hopefully people don't latch onto the idea that he's a rapist and instead realize how incredibly odd it is that such a charge would appear out of nowhere without evidence and without even notifying the accused, and then suddenly be withdrawn. I'm not sure what to say about it being a conspiracy. I mean, it could've been, and it falls in line with the way the US govt has been targeting him. They want people to see him as a monster, an international enemy of any country with troops in iraq or afghanistan. They want people to fear him. Now all of a sudden he may or may not be a rapist. It doesn't matter that nothing came of it because the idea is there. This is taken from an article written by a Canadian doctor who supports Wikileaks, i think it makes a lot of sense.
"It would be amazing if the U.S. or an ally ever got to try a case against Wikileaks on the grounds that troops' lives had been endangered. It would be a massive fiasco. The state would need to show -- and not just assert, as it does now -- exactly how any troops were actually endangered. Which of the rounds received from small arms fire in Afghanistan is a regular "insurgent" round and which one is a Wikileaks-inspired round? In a war zone, how do you calibrate safety levels such that you can tell when, with Wikileaks, the danger meter went deeper into the red? And since Afghan civilians are already, all too painfully, aware of the damage done by U.S. and NATO forces, how can the release of these records do any greater damage? Did Afghans need a reminder, in print, in another language?If the state fails to make any sense -- not surprising -- it is because it is has no intention of doing so. The state is appealing to something more visceral with all of this posturing: fear. It wants to strike fear into the minds and bodies of people working with Wikileaks, or anyone else doing such work, and anyone contemplating leaking any classified records. Fear is its greatest weapon of psychological destruction, with proven success at home. And in this case, the danger lies at home. The outcome the state hopes for is greater self-censorship and greater self-monitoring."Maximillian C Forte
