So let me get this straight - Those who pre-ordered the PS3 version from last year are receiving SteelBooks, as well as an additional MGS 4 game; but those who ordered the recently altered CE are receiving StickerBooks? That doesn't sound right. From what I can tell, all the boxes look the same, so how would they be able to tell the difference?
I actually received two PS3 ones this morning straight after I made my last post. I now have two X360 (one damaged and probably going back) and two PS3. I was also very surprised that the MGS 4 Platinum games arrived sealed, although only one of them was a legit factory seal with official PS3 tearstrip
After seeing the hard-boxed American CE, I was quite disappointed with the presentation of this CE. I had expected something more sturdier, much like the Guilty Gear XX Accent Core Plus CE box from last year. Now that was one nicely presented CE!

Funny that you mention this. The first two which I received (X360) on Monday came in long flat boxes. The other two which I received (PS3) this morning came from an entirely different distributor, packed in an entirely different kind of box (like the ones you described, cubic box and tilted diagonally), and via a different courier. Go figure!
Neither packaging method was ideal to be perfectly honest, and one of each kind were were split upon receipt and I was very surprised that the contents hadn't fallen out in transit! I had a similar experience with PLAY.com last year in regards to the InFamous 2 Hero Edition, where the packaging had split entirely and the box was practically hanging out for all to see!
