Like most big name releases these days, Halo Wars is available in a standard edition and limited edition set. The standard edition is of course just the standalone game and normally retails for $99.95. The Limited Edition however, includes three new multiplayer maps for Halo 3, a Halo Wars: Genesis graphic novel, a Spirit of Fire patch which lets you start the game as a Spirit of Fire crew member, an in-game 'Honor Guard' Wraith vehicle and six leader cards. This pack is slightly more expensive at a suggested retail price of $119.95.
Unfortunately not a lot of retailers seem to have fallen for the hype of this release, and as such only a few places are offering discounts. The standard edition is the cheapest at Wow – Sight and Sound where you can pick it up for only $78, while GAME comes in second place with their price tag of $79. Those wanting the limited edition should head into Big W for their price tag of $94, while JB Hi-Fi are charging only $99 for it.
It’s worth mentioning Microsoft has started a promotion where if you purchase any new Xbox 360 console, regardless of the model, you’ll receive a bonus copy of Halo Wars. This deal should be available at all retailers, though is subject to availability. Lastly, EB Games is offering a trade-in deal where you’ll be able to purchase the standard edition of Halo Wars for $19.95 if you trade-in two games that are on their eligible games list. Alternatively, you can trade in three Xbox 360 games at JB Hi-Fi and it for FREE - just make sure the three games you want to trade-in aren't on the exclusions list (.pdf file).
