I guess this is what I get for ordering a special edition online. Fans aren't losing too much, because only the special box, fate cards, and collectible Hobbe figure have been done away with. People who buy the collector's edition will still get the exclusive dungeon and Master Chief themed armor and weapon, along with a making of DVD, and the price has been reduced to $69.98. Oh well, the price is nice, but I really wanted a Hobbe figure!
