Thanks for the early unboxing! Seems like EA official CEs are including Star Metalpaks recently as seen from SWTOR and now ME3. Even Dragon Age Origins had only 1 run of real steelbooks then switched to Metalpaks. In fact, I can't think of any official EA CE coming with steelbooks in the last couple of years? This will be an important point for me the next time EA announces a metal case
Btw the RRP for the CE over here is SGD 100 which is around GBP 50. It's Asia version but all contents are the same and for some preorders we also get a free replica normandy.
