Y'know the more i look at this the more i think it's just symptomatic of the way us collectors are being dicked around by all and sundry.
Yes, I'm happy to be getting the artbook. No, i'm not happy about having the 4000-piece yanked away on Konami's whim. I'll certainly not be happy if it's a poxy stickerbook either.
But why should i have to be happy with this or unhappy with that when Konami should never have announced the limited numbered steelbook in the first place. 4000 was never going to satisfy the huge MGS fanbase . . .and all this from a games company with years and years of experience from arcades to video games.
We know it's all about Konami making more money but why piss off your customers by stretching their goodwill to the fucking limit
And, the least said about Zavvi's contribution to the confusion, the better.
And here's a mad idea - why didn't Konami put out the limited steelbook AND the replacement edition if they're THAT effing greedy. Sure the market could have stood it.
In my opinion this has been the worst year ever for CE collectors. Between all the online fuckups and broken promises about content and now this . . .well, in all honesty, i'm beginning to feel a bit stressed. Don't know about the rest of ya . . .
