The Price is 10,99 euro for each steelbook.

[Letrico]

Thats not a steelbook! It's a Steelslip! I'm trademarking that word.

[SwiftDeath]

I want but I am a little confused

Doesn't Amazon DE usually post pics of steelbooks for steelbooks? Or no pic at all?

That's a strange pic, like letrico suggested

[Twisted]

I hope whatever it is..it is G2 :)

[vhal_x]

Might just be a temp oic until final artwork etc us agreed on xx

[KianRockz]

If Amazon writes Steelbook, it normally is a Steelbook

[gu8]

oooooh looks like bat has been on a diet with his super slimness

[vhal_x]

oooooh looks like bat has been on a diet with his super slimness

Hey, leave him alone, he's going through puberty! :haha: xx

[Redmagster]

Hmmmmm,m so the pic is weird and the Xbox link says 'steelbook' while the ps3 one says steel box...


What to think????

[gu8]

thinking not to worry, will be fine and dandy lemonhead

[Redmagster]

Lemon head.... :rotf: :mad:

[gu8]

on a serious note though cant effing wait for this game,, loves the batman games i does. probably my favourite series on the 360, not joking

[comaamen86]

(shudder) g2 ordered

[gu8]

ooooooooh:protest: lol get involved now your a darkling

[Twisted]

I don't know?..maybe it will show up at futureshop Canada as well?

[Vikingo82]

For once EU have luck with spare steels!!! :notworthy:

Ps3, steel box...Xbox/PC, Steelbook... :scratch:

For sure a typo mistake...

But 10 Euros is a great deal for us in the EU by once (not counting MGR and Tomb Raider that they were out for selling after release date).

Hope FS makes a different exclusive one, so we can make trades with no money around...

Got my copies already preordered!!!

[Vikingo82]

Not the only one... Batman has always been my favourite comic character, and Arkham City is totally kick ass game...

This, plus the amazing CE they reach out with that amazing figure... Needless to say anymore...

Just wonder who will be the Villains this time... Hope any new ones...and not as famous...

There are lots of them that should appear...Bane should be a badass one...

[vhal_x]

Joker has already been confirmed, as have some other "smaller" villains. I don't really see Bane showing up again though, as his AC role was pretty small. I'd like to see a younger Harley to go alongside Joker again, and I'd also like to see the beginnings of some other villains - like them first starting out.

I also really like Jonathan Crane, so would be cool to see him in this again.

I love it when they put in references, etc to other characters, like how they nodded at Killer Croc in AC, and how you see Calendar Man in the cell, etc xx

[richy rude]

One of the main problems with a new superhero film/ video game is the same protagonists/ villains keep getting recycled over and over again. Thankfully batman has a few more worthy & interesting opponents than superman. Speaking of the man of steel, would be nice twist for a steel book to actually be made of something vaguely resembling steel lol.

[KianRockz]

I wanna see a Steelbook with all Protagonists on it+

[vhal_x]

I want a Harley Quinn steelbook *stomps feet* xx

[richy rude]

I want a Harley Quinn steelbook *stomps feet* xx

I second that feet stamping, would love it embossed too.:think:

[Lemur]

I want a Harley Quinn steelbook *stomps feet* xx

You almost got it the last time round :ghey:

[vhal_x]

I know! Broke my heart when it didn't happen :( :rotf: xx

[Lemur]

This is 100% confirmed not a steelbook. Preorder cancelled. Screw this shit! :rant:

[comaamen86]

where?it is made of metalz!!!!

[Vikingo82]

where?it is made of metalz!!!!

So...what is it??

Steel...what?? Metalpack?

[Lemur]

So...what is it??

Steel...what?? Metalpack?

It's scrap metal :banghead:

[Vikingo82]

It's scrap metal :banghead:

Like the Dead Island Riptide?

Well...for 10 euros will keep my ps3 one...just for collect something new...

Dead Island metal scrap embossed was really cool...

Don't worry Lemur...probably will have five or six steels for this one...just seeing Arkham City designs...something similar will happen with this...

[biscuitnoir]

Pretty sure this is going to show up almost everywhere, a steel will appear for sure, maybe even in FS.

[giantqtipz]

It looks like a metalpak... Thinking of cancelling my PO at best buy if it is

[Platfus]

It looks like a metalpak... Thinking of cancelling my PO at best buy if it is

Like in the CE? I think it clearly says its a metalpa(c)k

[giantqtipz]

the one on amazon.de and best buy. Its listed as steelbook heh. But pictures appear to be metalpack.

The CE metalpack appears different from the "steelbook"

[Lemur]

Notice amazon.de changed to steel box not steelbook. Big enough hint :wave:

[giantqtipz]

Haha woops. Completely overlooked that. Didnt know they changed the name. So i guess there are no steelbooks then for this game?

Edit: just noticed best buy changed the name from steelbook to collectible case...

[rapister]

Lemur is probably right on this one.....

its pretty obvious they are spineless in the pictures so far...

[web_slinger_62]

The Future Shop one is a Metal Pak, just got mine in the mail :(

[Redmagster]

Boo.... Hisss.... That's a shame... I collect metal anything but, even so, I hoped for a steelbook. :(

[SwiftDeath]

Bah humbug

No batman metal case for me then

May as well feed those to the dog

[Redmagster]

Why??? why??? why the metalpaks???

[vhal_x]

They're all metalpaks, no steelbooks for this release at all as far as I know xx

[Matt16]

Metalpaks rule whooooo hoooooo

[Redmagster]

No Matt... NO!!! I collect anything shiny like a manic magpie with no off switch but, still, metal paks will NEVER rule!!!

[Matt16]

Swift is right, of course, metal Is all I need... :drool:

You wait Swift... update incoming....

[SwiftDeath]

Oooh Mags update inbound :drool:

Will further show how much I've been neglecting steel collecting :(

Can't wait Mags your collection is among the tops here and is so under-appreciated

[Vertigo]

Just received my Arkham Origins "futureshop" metal pak in the mail and despite the elaborate embossing of batman on the front and back, the overall product quality is pretty shoddy.

The hinges holding the steelbook together are made of plastic and one of the hinges was already broken/cracked when I opened the metal pak ( i.e., the metal pak is being held together by the one remaining plastic latch )

Redmagster - even with your fondness of steelbook/steel case products, this may disappoint you :P

[Vertigo]

It's definitely metal ... But it has plastic hinges ( does that change anything ;) ... )

Thanks Swift - I really appreciate your insight but I also understand why... there are those that keep it narrow and hit the grails (which I am lucky to do occasionally) I have broad collecting interests which keeps my collection wide and varied but less wow factor...

But... I also have my moments and a collection of over 200 vg steels is more than enough to keep me smiling... ;)

I have rare items in figures, steels, press kits, memorabilia, odds and sods but all of it is personal treasure to me ;)

Wait I thought you were up to the crazy 400+ VG steels?

Or was that combined with your movie steels?

After all I'm up to 200+ and I ain't exactly on the same level lol

You actually have a lot of "wow" factor in your collection but you don't really do the best job showing it off :P

More detailed pictures, maybe links to all your updates or something but I know you don't care for such attention. I'm the attention whore after all :blush:

Also have you ever even posted your crouching altair? I don't think you have even though I know you have one in your upstairs bedroom no less :poke:

LOL!! You know me too well :) ;)

My typo - 400 is closer although with the recent run of Fifa steels... :swoon:

And, I have Altair crouching over me in the bedroom ;) which I have never posted pics of or Ezios fury

I often think of overhauling my show off thread but you're right - it really is personal pleasure for me and the thrill of the chase but even so.. would be nice to give it the justice it deserves - it has often been hard fought and won - thanks Swifty - was a well timed boost :hug:

Haha thought so

I have maybe 2 fifa steels. I wonder how much that adds. Probably 30 - 40 at this point :lol:

Anyways yeah I need to pick up my game quite a bit :)

I remember you mentioned the crouching being in your bedroom watching over you as you slept but figured my previous post already had enough of a stalker feel to it :P

You don't need to update your intro or anything on my account. I was just trying to explain why yours doesn't get the attention it deserves :thumb:

Fifa is crazy steel wise... :nosleep: 5 from Italy alone...

Don't worry I know I need an overhaul but to me that is valuable hunting time LOL!!

And I just go placidly amidst the noise and haste... ;)

Thanks a bunch buddy :)

Hinges are strange. I've never seen a metal pak with round hinges like that :scratch:

Art is nice but I bet it has a million microscratches like most metalpaks

:rotf: Yeah that's why I did my bandaid of creating a list of links to my updates instead of making a new thread

Still have to move everything from photobucket to flickr

No problem. It's definitely not worth it as a preorder bonus or as a purchasable item from amazon.de.

Will be returning this ( + game when it arrives ) and will be content with the NA CE

Hopefully these pics help people decide if they want to keep or cancel their steel case preorders

[I_BE_WILL]

Collectors steel if anyone is interested, found on a listing on eBay

[giantqtipz]

Is it 3d??

[Zaku77]

That's a metalpack--from the looks of it--and it seems to be the one that comes with the UK CE.

[Mike1888]

Got a dented metalpak from FS today. Perfect!

[Twisted]

it should be easy to find..all US BEST BUY HAVE THEM, along with CANADA FUTURSHOPS...plus all around the world.

[rapister]

if anyone has an undamaged G1 one, can i buy it? :rotf:

[Vertigo]

Assuming you're looking for the non-CE version, you can purchase the steelbox cases separately from amazon.de:

G1:
http://www.amazon.de/Batman-Arkham-Origins-exklusiv-Amazon/dp/B00DB4U8EU

G2 (unconfirmed if it will be G2-sized):
http://www.amazon.de/Batman-Arkham-Origins-exklusiv-Amazon/dp/B00D909IHE

They use to be ~10EU each, but the price for each has increased to 20.99EU

Are there two seperate designs - the ones ive seen in pictures look different than that picture

[Vertigo]

The amazon.de ones are the pre-order cases.

The other variant ( with Batman's enemies incorporated into the bat logo ) is the one that comes with the Collector's Edition

So there are possibly 4 versions ( G1 preorder , G2 preorder , G1 CE , G2 CE )

[rapister]

oh im looking for the CE one....

Thanks for clearing that up - now i just need to see if the GAME UK version is the same as amazon.de and if it comes sealed with game or seperate

[Ayiu]

got my amazon.de metalpack today and I'm quite impressed. The embossed batman and the logo are really nice :wave:

[SwiftDeath]

All versions are metal paks right?

Makes it super easy for me to ignore them if so

[dahein]

G2 (unconfirmed if it will be G2-sized):
http://www.amazon.de/Batman-Arkham-Origins-exklusiv-Amazon/dp/B00D909IHE

i can confirm the ps3 metal pack is g2 size

[evilvort3x]

GAME one IS metalpack saw it today :S

Such a shame

[Zaku77]

It's weird that they go from having like 5 steels for Arkham City to having two (?) metalpacks for this one.

[rapister]

yep so its 4 metalpaks and no steelbooks.
g1 and g2 CE
g1 and g2 batman design
i kinda like the look of it though.... the pop up kind of effect plus the 'snowflakes' sort of splashed over it.

i wonder if such effects would be hard to achieve on a steelbook?

plus they are less expensive too lol

[blockbusterboy]

I get what people say about them not being steelbooks but have to say I'm quite impressed by these. Perhaps if metalpaks were as good as these hve turned out then maybe they wouldn't have such a bad name.

I do have to add that my two are absolutely immaculate so that certainly helps with my gushing.Having said that I'm definitely not a convert.

[Zaku77]

I am too! Although, I can't help but wonder if the same exact design wouldn't have been much better on a steelbook. lol

[rapister]

maybe it was due to the manufacturing processs.... the pop up effect might have been better on the metalpak
most steelbooks so far have minimal texturing, if any...
