Japan gets a HMCC/XB1 bundle

This marks the third country to get either an exclusive or bundle for the Halo Master Chief Collection. The first two being the UK and Brazil.

Now Japan gets a bundle offer. Other than the box though, it looks like this is just a regular XBOX One and standard HMCC edition.

Here’s the offer:

Japanese HMCC XB1 bundle

It bums me out that the U.S. hasn’t been announced to get one. Yes, I know we get a lot, but dang, ignoring the largest buyer of XBOX Ones (and Halo) just seems like a wrong/bad move to me).

Really though, so long as there isn’t an actual HMCC XBOX One, I’m good. I do want that statue the UK has as part of their bundle, but it’s way out of my budget.

A few collecting folks posted about this, so apologies that I don’t recall who posted it first to give proper credit. I do know that Kevin Hurd posted it via Facebook.

  1. There is pretty much no chance of a mass-produced “special-edition” Halo: The Master Chief Collection Xbox One since they would’ve announced it already. I am disappointed that the US is not getting this bundle though. I will probably buy a Xbox One this year since it got a $50 discount and it would’ve been nice if this game was bundled along with it.

    • A hopeful HMCC edition XB1 or bundle for the U.S. is why I held out from buying a XB1 as early as February this year. When Gamestop had a promotion in September to get a free NEW game with a XB1 purchase, well, I couldn’t wait any longer. I’d still prefer to have a Halo edition XB1 though.

      • Yeah, all the major retailers had that deal but I decided to wait and see if there would be any better deals toward the holidays. I assume you picked up Destiny with your Xbox One? ;D

  2. When I saw that Brazil was slated for a bundle, I got annoyed but I realized that what 343 is trying to do is break into new markets so they can sell units and are using Halo to do so. Frankly, I am more upset that the special edition that came with the map guide and statue wasn’t offered in the US over a XBox bundle.

    I think that 343 knew that here in the states, Halo fans were going to purchase an XBox no matter what so there was no need to offer a bundle. However, I do think there will be one for the Halo 5 release. I just hope it isn’t white.

    • I agree with your reply completely. If there is to be a Halo 5 edition XB1, I hope it comes with a Halo ring emblazoned on the console itself. I’m thinking about airbrushing my XB1 to have a Halo collage on it.
