Both steelbooks get a thumbs up.

[Gemini-Phoenix]

So am I to assume that one is for PS3 and the other for X360? Or will both consoles get both versions?

If it's the former, then I might be tempted to get both, as those SteelBook's are amazing!

Hmm.. I wonder this, too. The picture for the Kollector's Edition also has the -PS3- logo at the bottom.

Anyone got concrete information from the publisher yet, there's alot for conflicting information out there.

[twistedsymphony]

does anyone have any concrete information on the "fire edition" I can't seem to find any evidence that it actually exists.

[evilvort3x]

yea as i would LOVE this :D

i think the fire edition of mortal kombat was cancelled..i read it somewhere.

[twistedsymphony]

this seems to be the best info on it.

as near as I can tell only a South African retailer had it listed...

I also believe this to be correct. Before release there was lots of rumours and speculation and various promotional pictures found across the internet of several editions. I also seem to remember WB Games stating that these were planned, but they changed their mind at the last minute

So the two SteelBook editions which were initially planned were actually scrapped, and all we got was the crappy Kollector's Edition with the statue & no SteelBook

i actually returned my kollectors edition, couldn't keep it i just hated it...figurine was cheap as chips and the box reminded me of an easter egg :lmao:

[evilvort3x]

lol

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Quoted for truth!

It is always disheartening to receive a CE which looks nice, but has had very little effort put into it, and like you say, the boxes are often reminiscent of easter egg boxes - Eg, Aliens Vs Predator CE

If they're going to go to the effort of creating a premium edition for collectors, then they could at least present them a little better. Damn, even easter eggs get better treatment!

Hmm, perhaps the rest of Europe got a SteelBook, but not us in the UK. It almost feels as if the UK Kollector's Edition was a poorly made last minute copy of the Euro release, sans SteelBook. Why they couldn't just release the same edition here with a different logo on the front I do not know!

I wonder why we got shite and the rest of Europe were granted a SteelBook?

[mosavon]

a steelbook would have made up for the awful statue kinda
