Tweeted by UK store ‘Game’, there will be a Limited Edition Master Chief Collection. 
Now, since this was tweeted by ‘Game’ does this mean it’s a UK only exclusive? I’ve been trying to find out otherwise. So far, it looks like ‘Game’ is it.
That would be a real kick in the ‘nards if so. I know MANY people here in the states and abroad that would love to have the limited edition.
What you get in this limited edition is a steel case that holds the game, a flip book with graphics of every multiplayer map in the game, and the Grunt Funeral Skull. The latter making grunts explode in a burst of plasma.
The pre-order goes up tomorrow for this. No word on price yet.
Again though, I’m perplexed why this appears to be a UK thing only. I doubt that is true. We’ll have to wait and see though.
[UPDATE] I’ve called Best Buy, Toys R Us, and Gamestop. None of those know if they are carrying the limited edition or not. This was to their respective customer service numbers, so take that for what it’s worth. [/UPDATE]

It does seems like its a special edition only for GAME, at least the steel case is (“Steel Case made just for GAME…”). I’ve looked around their website and they have a bunch of other special edition games with steel cases “only at GAME”. As for the pricing, its 52.99 pounds which is about $90 USD (the game prices over there are more expensive).
