Umm, well if you have the money by all means if you want it buy it but. these are some reasons i won't be getting it. Because i don't have the money for it lol, but i don't really need the extra controller anyway. Besides i've had a white console all these years i don't want another eye sore.
The reach design isn't all that great either.
Conclusion:
If you really like Halo and you have the money buy it, if your scraping bits of money from here and there to be able to barely afford it, don't. Remember an Xbox is an Xbox, it still plays the same way, technically its worth $410 because it comes with 2 controllers but technically not, because you can get one for $40 on ebay and stuff, brand new and all.
But I have until sept. 14 to make my decision. :)
