Yeah, friend of mine got it and said its literally the definitively worst CE he's ever gotten. No outerbox. Everything just tossed into the backpack which was shipped separately from Gold edition game. The steelbook is actually a metalpak. And the included stuff is garbage he said.
It takes a lot for me not to preorder a CE for Xbox One, but this one wasn't going to get my money since I first saw it. The Division one is <this> close to being cancelled as well for how much it costs and what you get with it (and no steelbook). After Halo 5 burned me, I'm done giving companies $$ just because they say "collector" on it...
Hope you guys have different feelings about this CE though. Maybe it was just one man's opinion?
