I used to dislike stickerbooks but now i am a fan of them. No, they're never going to be as nice as artwork-printed Steelbooks, but they are still official Steelbooks and have tremendous value if you're a collector.
In fact, the most valuable G1 Steelbooks are mostly stickerbooks that were produced in very limited quantities and usually only in Spain and Italy.
But again, back to the whole size issue - if it's a multiplatform release, it will never make sense to release only G1 or G2, since if you release only one size you are alienating at least one platform. This is why G1 is a bit nicer in that regard - it tends to cover both the PC and XBox crowd, whereas a G2 release will not mean anything to anyone but PS3 owners....and we all know that there are more PC + 360 gamers combined as a whole vs. PS3-only gamers. This is why a lot of multiplatform exclusives release with G1 sizing - it covers more gamers, as PC and 360 can interchange the G1 size.
