An unexpected Halo Infinite Collector’s Edition appeared late last night on Walmart without any warning from publishers. Even so, fans didn’t seem to have a problem finding the $170 USD bundle and buying out the stock.
It was by far the most stacked bundle offered for the game to date. As per the Walmart listing, the Halo Infinite Collector’s Edition featured a SteelBook case, a set of five patches, a Plasma Pistol bottle opener, an Energy Sword desk lamp, a set of UNSC lanyards, a UNSC I.D. Wallet, a desktop portfolio, an art poster and booklet, and a developer note from 343 Industries. It also included pre-order bonuses like the Zeta Sky Armor Coating, Chosen Emblem and Nameplate, and the exclusive MK50 Sidekick weapon.
Fans only knew about the Halo Infinite Xbox Series X and SteelBook bundles before this unexpected drop. Halo has a history with special editions offering collectibles like statues, patches, and art books, so it’s no surprise one eventually came out. However, many didn’t expect it to appear without an official announcement. At this time of writing, Microsoft and 343 Industries still haven’t acknowledged the Collector Edition’s existence.
Walmart listed only 10,000 units up for sale. It limited the Collector’s Editions to one per order and household, though that didn’t seem to slow the demand. Scalpers have already started selling the bundles on eBay for significantly more than the original price, too.
It’s unclear if Walmart will restock the Collector’s Edition and when other retailers will promote it on their websites. Either way, Halo fans should bag it if they see it rather than wait. Scalpers already ruined the release of the Halo Infinite Edition Xbox Series X, and they will do it again.
Halo Infinite launches for PC, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One on December 8. Just a note for Xbox fans: It’s also an Xbox Game Pass first-day access title Come from Sports betting site VPbet . Multiplayer is free to download. See our Halo Infinite pre-order guide for help finding pre-orders and deals related to Master Chief’s latest adventure.
