Diamond Loot Chest Edition price is 219,99GBP (with regular game copy).
Diamond Loot Chest Edition with Super Deluxe Edition (what includes steelbook) price is 249,99GBP.

[PoofGone]

Seems to be some sort of GAME only thing. Rest of the world (as much as I dug around, correct me if I'm wrong) has £$€249 pricetag on it.

Edit: 149€ in Netherlands without game.

Yea high chances PC won't not there. Don't have PC for deluxe and super deluxe too.

I'll probably get the PS4 CE and sell the game + season pass if it comes with the standard case.

[Codreanu]

Also up on Gamnestop.de. You can bundle it with the XBOX or PS4 version of the Super Deluxe Edition:

Already sold out ... and for Germnay it's said to be exclusiove to gamestop.de

Fortunately I could order one for me, still feel sad for everyone who missed it.

Plus, I'm a little confused as the steelbook is not mentioned anywhere here in Germay, neither at the CE itself or the Super Deluxe Edition.

[PoofGone]

I'm 99.99% sure that all CE's come without a game, but with Steelbook. Appropriate version of the game is Bundled into CE purchase and given to you separately.

[Keithjn]

And already on scalpers alert seen so many doing ebay on this already while proper collectors are missing out. Is there a way to report this?

Nope. The CE does not include the steelbook. The steelbook is with the super deluxe edition. However, it seems that it differs per country if the steelbook is included with the super deluxe. Just as with the gold editions of AC or far cry.

I wish. I am pissed because I actually wanted it as a collector, and there's literally 100% no fucking chance this legitimately sold out to real people in an hour, especially at the hefty $250 price.

Wish Gamestop would go and cancel orders based on Ebay/Amazon scalpers. Complete joke.

[Gipetto]

https://i.ibb.co/r5mSw6W/Untitled.png (https://ibb.co/nQbvLcW)

It may differ per country. However, i ordered at the 2k store. If you order there, the super deluxe (which comes with the steelbook) is added to the CE.
The strange thing is that the site says you get an steelbook with the CE as well(so 2 in total?)
In my country, the steelbooks seems not to be included in either the CE as the super deluxe.

I didn't want to risk getting no steelbook because other retailers said there was no steelbook so i ordered at 2k.

I think if there is a way for them to trace it could happen but sadly eBay sellers are anonymous.

[Vlad]

Does anyone else think it's absolutely nuts to announce a £250 collector's edition and not even at the very least have any "contents subject to change" pictures showing what the items are supposed to actually look like?

As for the steelbook issue, I'd agree that it seems pretty confusing in this case although if it offers any clarity, an e-mail I got from Game earlier states that in the UK the steelbook is exclusive to Game in the UK with the "Super Deluxe Edition". When I checked when it was announced Game offered the Super Diamond one at £250 which includes the Super Deluxe and therefore a steelbook but also a £220 Diamond with a standard copy from what I remember and thus no steelbook was included, all of which seeming to mean that at least in the UK the steelbook isn't a standard feature of the Diamond chest.

[Pielord]

Just a PSA UK users. Stock is back up on game.co.uk, managed to pre-order just a few minutes ago after checking every few hours.

"Steelbook case"
100% sure that is an ironpack or a metalpack then.

When is a steelbook it just says steelbook and has the trademark symbol.
But i am curious, why do you disagree?

[PoofGone]

Because they cannot use the word Steelbook in the advertisment if it's not genuine Steelbook. The trademark makes litte difference. If it was Futurepak or whatever else they would say "Steelcase, Steel case, Metal case" or smth along those lines.

They say Steelbook on 2K Games homepage and for me, more importantly, they say Steelbook on Amazon sites as well and Amazon is very strict about that. For example Mortal Kombat XI - the edition that comes with "metal case" is advertised to contain Steelcase in Amazon.

Are you gonna make me google all the times they say steelbook and is not a steelbook? Like... seriously?

I mean look at the advertisment. It's all over the place:

For Honor + Metal Case
Exclusive Steel Book
Game + Steelbook

You got me on Steelbook though, it is indeed written there at one point, but come on, look at the product page and headline. It's like a cheap chinese webfront.

Anyway, go see GAME webpage if you remain unconvinced.

https://www.game.co.uk/en/borderlands-3-super-deluxe-edition-with-game-exclusive-psycho-bandit-mask-2600673

You can even zoom in and see the spine.

Then check what's written under "Mortal Kombat Kollectors Edition" and "Control"Deluxe Edition.

Not trying to come out as cocky and not trying to say i know it all or that i know more than you, however...

I do collect steelbooks, i spend hours browsing around, trust me when i tell you that many times Metalpacks/Ironpacks are announced as Steebooks.

There are cases like the ones you point out where they are announced correctly, but in many cases they are not.

[Spect3r]

Another one i just remembered

[PoofGone]

It's odd for me because your link was the first time I EVER saw a falsely advertised Steelbook in like, let's say 5 years? I emailed Scanavo, not hoping for a reply, but who knows.

And already established that you know more than me since I hadn't seen this kind of stuff on Amazon before so...:thumb:

Edit: The WWE one, just wow! Wtf is this?! I'm gonna eat my words. Although I am still confident we will get an actual Steelbook - you bringing an example that involves 2K Sports and considering 2K Games is publishing Borderlands 3 - let's just say...actually let's not say anything.:lmao:

I would love it if they always did like you mentioned, but unfortunatelly that is not the case :(

Good luck with a reply from Scanovo, i mailed twice before, never got an answer.
But would like to know if they get to answer you though :)

Edit: And if i am not mistaken they also announced Borderlands 2 as a steelbook when it was a metapack (but i might be remembering it wrong)

Second release only though. Guess not bad if you just download the digital game on release date.

[Alaniata]

Still not available in Denmark... This sucks!

[Vlad]

So just wondering but has anyone seen even promo images about what's included with the Diamond Loot Box Edition yet?

Feels like they're cutting it really fine with showing it. If they don't show something by next week though I'm going to cancel my preorder and just go with the super deluxe. For the sake of £250 (version w/ super deluxe) I already wasn't too impressed with the contents listing but hoped images would change my mind but we still don't even have anything to go on just about 2.5 weeks before release.

Nope, have not seen anything yet anywhere. At this point I would wager they may be pushing back the release date since nothing has been posted.

[Vlad]

Yeah. For a couple of weeks now I've been half expecting to get an e-mail in saying there's been some kind of production problem and so it'll either be delayed or go all out Batmobile Edition and it's cancelled at the last minute.

I'd be fine with either of those as long as they don't screw us in the ol' Fable 2 fashion... promise one thing, they at the last minute (as you're shipping units out to customers) say "oh sorry, we just decided you're not going to get everything."

[lbp]

Got one today on game.co.uk.. When they show back up on the site you need to keep checking every so often.. I missed out on a few over the last few weeks on there.. As soon as I got mine preordered they were removed again.. Cancellations maybe..

Oh, yeah, I'd totally forgotten how that one was handled.

I got my hands on one of the actual limited editions with the Hobbe figure/cards/big box a while after that so they did seem to have actually produced them but aside from one rumour about the figures using lead paint I've not seen any other actual explanation for the cancellation. (I'm not a seller but I do sometimes wonder how much the full set is actually worth these days considering at best you only see the occasional Hobbe figure pop up on eBay.)

Yeah, they definitely made them, I think some places in Europe got them. Someone on this site was selling the Russian version of it, and was fairly reasonable for a price (Whole CE for ~$100). Unfortunately, I slacked off an missed buying it before it sold...

If it helps you for the future (seeing your flag), it was actually the US that I got mine from. Just in case that would mean they did appear in some numbers closer to you too. :)

Seller was strangely awkward about the transaction and shipping right enough, I ended up having to get one of my mum's friends over there to act as a middleman and then send it over to us.

[Texas Fire]

Any unboxing videos of this out there yet?

[Codreanu]

No, there aren't even mockup pictures of the CE's content.

[Texas Fire]

No, there aren't even mockup pictures of the CE's content.

This is rather weird seeing as how close this game is to release..
Well hey, I just tweeted them on Twitter, so hopefully someone responds…

[Twisted]

i wonder if it has been cancelled for some rhyme or reason? that is why!? there's no official pictures!?..remember like that one PS4 Batman game collector's edition!? from a few years ago, that got cancelled at the last minute..with some ambiguous plausible explanation..never was anything really confirmed as to why!?

[Vlad]

Apparently there was an IGN Tweet (now deleted) which accidentally showed some figures and the map off a little.

https://i.imgur.com/GUbOghz.png

If that's what they're like I'm going to have no issue cancelling tbh.

The URL shortening link goes to, "https://uk.ign.com/articles/2019/08/26/borderlands-3-diamond-loot-chest-super-deluxe-edition-unboxing-ign-first?sf107796051=1" but this is on a 404 at the time of posting.

[defiler]

If that's the figurines we're getting then this is the last shit I buy from Gearbox. F***ing not even painted, just plain resin? Stupid and lazy, or theyre WAY behind on production and can't get everything painted in time.

Wonder if that's why they aren't posting anything - dont want people to see that garbage and cancel pre-orders.

[utta]

https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/08/30/borderlands-3-diamond-loot-chest-super-deluxe-edition-unboxing-ign-first?amp=1 unboxing video is up.

[Twisted]

that's a lot of plastic for $250.00.

[Codreanu]

With that price tag the figures and the ship model sould at least be pre painted. :S

[defiler]

The thing that irritates me the most about the dumb figures is that Borderlands itself is based on a vivid art/color scheme. It's also based on things being modded to hell, especially on colors. The fact they neglected/were too lazy to paint them just goes against everything Borderlands is about.

[gamecollector_nz]

These figures looks like from the broad game or war game

[Vlad]

Wow - Easiest preorder cancellation I've ever made right there.

The figures look rough, also looked incredibly light when he picked one up.

The ship did not look all that good and I say that as someone that enjoys these Airfix type kits (like mentioned above too, it looked unpainted as well).

The lithographs look crap imo too. When there's so much cool stuff in the Borderlands universe and interesting landscapes, etc., why would I want 5 bland, unoriginal pictures of characters' faces?

And that chest... Ooft. When he was opening it all I could think was that shaky stiffness is the hallmark of poorly moulded cheap crap. This was totally solidified in my mind when he lifted it and the chest started flexing for just a small lift and turn.

I think literally the only part I was interested in was the map which I'll half-heartedly check eBay for later. (I do love maps though.)

[Pielord]

Cancelled this as well. Everything looks so cheap and not worth the additional money. I'll just stick to the steelbook edition and maybe pick this up when Game try and flog the excess stock later.

[Twisted]

Too much paper and plastic for the price..I’m sure around the end of the year they’ll have blow out sales on these for half the price! Since it comes with lots of filler shovelware..now we know why they seriously delayed showing off the contents because they knew they’d get a lot of blowback! from collectors! for cutting corners!

[defiler]

The figures look rough, also looked incredibly light when he picked one up.

Yeah, pretty sure they're 3D printed, which means they're almost guaranteed to be broken upon arrival as 3D printed figures are usually more hollow than solid and therefore very weak.

The ship did not look all that good and I say that as someone that enjoys these Airfix type kits (like mentioned above too, it looked unpainted as well).
I hate how ambiguous they were on the type of model it would be. To me it sounded like it was going to be a LEGO-knockoff type of ship.

The lithographs look crap imo too. When there's so much cool stuff in the Borderlands universe and interesting landscapes, etc., why would I want 5 bland, unoriginal pictures of characters' faces?
To be honest, as disappointing as it is, it's basically what they've always done when it comes to Borderlands lithographs. Crappy, never about the scenery.

And that chest... Ooft. When he was opening it all I could think was that shaky stiffness is the hallmark of poorly moulded cheap crap. This was totally solidified in my mind when he lifted it and the chest started flexing for just a small lift and turn.
Agreed, it's definitely not looking to be up to the quality of the RDR2 metal case (last case I purchased)

[defiler]

Never cancelled my pre-order, so got this in the mail today. Thoughts:


1) Steelbook was visibly scratched... while still sealed. Perpendicular to the spine, so must have been a manufacturing defect.

2) Case is indeed not the greatest quality. The sliding mechanism sucks and took 2 tries to get it to work (it even comes with an instruction pamphlet on how to open it... not good)

3) Handles on the case are backwards from what you would think - they are hinged on the bottom and open from the top... which means they fall open very easily.

4) Pro was that it was packaged extremely well overall, of which this I was pleased at.

[Jonny_Blades]

I cancelled mine today. I've wasted some money on some cheap shit before, but I couldn't pull myself to get this one. Eb games employee instantly started texting someone to let them know one was available. Hope he or she enjoys it!
