When pre-ordered from GAME and Gamestation.

In addition to the previously covered pre-order bonuses, those who pre-order Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary through GAME and Gamestation will receive a special edition collector’s booklet based on the art book “Halo: The Great Journey - The Art of Building Worlds”. While this bonus will only be available while stocks last, fans who have already pre-ordered through GAME and Gamestation will also receive the mini-book with their copy.

This 24 page, 170 x 135mm booklet contains a collection of ground-breaking art from the history of the “Halo” games including concept art, sweeping landscapes from the “Halo” universe, and of course the evolution of the Master Chief.If 24 pages isn't quite enough Halo artwork for you, Halo: The Great Journey - The Art of Building Worlds is a lavish and spectacular 192 page collection of groundbreaking art, with over 400 images as envisioned by over thirty amazing artists published to celebrate the franchise’s 10th anniversary and is set to release on October 18th 2011 for around £24.99 in the UK and $29.95 in the US.

Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is set for a November 15th 2011 release.

I can't seem to find this "GAME" site so I can preorder it. Try putting "Halo preorder GAME" into google. lol Unfortunate store name is unfortunate. Unless I'me completely oblivious which is quite probable. Can you post the links to the preorder pages please?

No mention of the preorder bonus on the page yet though. Also I dislike how they've redesigned their website.

A little bummed that this is a UK exclusive, but at the same time, I'm kind of relieved. I no longer have room for anything anymore; games, books, game-books all included, as my bookshelf (and floor for that matter) are all packed to a point where I have bags filled with strategy guides I've collected. xD

"is set to release on October 18th 2011 for around £24.99 in the UK."

GAME is taking pre-orders for the game for £34.99. I think you might need to word the article a little differently, as I'm assuming that the £25 price tag is for the book, not the game, but it does seem misleading.

Thanks. Not lazy. Just couldn't find a store called game by searching for "Halo preorder GAME" It assumed I meant video game. Being from US I never heard of that shop and didn't know what it was.

Eh, it's just a stupid art book. Who cares? I know I don't.

However, it does seem a little unfair to throw this bonus into the mix after so much time.
What about the rest of us who pre-ordered from gamestop?

So the U.S. doesn't get this bonus, I don't think either of those store-chains deliver to U.S., not 100% sure though.

If you can find a gamestop near a GAME, let me know wink The art book does look like it would be a nice piece for fans of the series to have...Halo always has been pretty visually stunning

That big art book would be awesome to check out. Halo's art design is really cool.

Since when does the U.S. get denied a pre-order exclusive? Especially for a franchise as big as Halo.
