It is due to be released on the 20th of September 2011, and retailing at only £42.85!

Not sure if it's exclusive or not, but seems that way at the moment


This is also the fourth UK edition to surface for this game. The other three being the standard edition, the "Day One" Limited Edition, and the Epic Edition!

That interesting, something tells me this will turn into Dead rsising 2 that had several editions that never sold out and dropped in price several weeks and even months afterwards.

ShopTo have promptly responded, and have said that they believe they are the only online retailer to be stocking these, although there is a chance that some small independant stores might also be receiving stock. As far as they know, the other major retailers won't have this (Ie, GAME, HMV, PLAY, Amazon etc)

This maybe worth a look ,thanks gemini :thumb:

I was kinda hoping it was not Shopto.net exclusive, they are seriously bad.

Good job it's a Steelbook and not a large box edition. It would never have turned up in good condition if it had.

Thanks for the heads up and additional info Gemini

It looks like a VIVA Metal Case to me from the spine, but let's hope that this will be a genuine SteelBook™ case.

Thanks for the link - will order from game as they are better with packaging

Do we know whether this SteelBook forms part of the Epic Edition? Not sure whether to order this, as it would be somewhat redundant if it were part of the Epic Edition which I already have ordered

good question actually never taught of that:nosleep::facepalm:

no its not part of it, because you get the collectors Edition of GoW3 inside the epic Edition.
