Based on posts from Neogaf, this is probably not the premium-G sound edition and is something that is exclusive to HK from the looks of it.

And I hope no one minds me plugging, but I've been trying to find places selling it beside play-asia (pre order sell out) or ebay ($120, aka nice markup).
The price I found was on a HK site that doesn't take paypal and def don't think it does international ship.

So if anyone has any ideas, give me a PM or post about it.

Not to be rude but that's not a steelbook, it's just some random generic metal case. I'm not even sure that's a metalpak

Where's Lemur when you need him to identify random metal cases?

You could check this thread to see if anyone is willing to forward from HK

I can't remember anyone who would fit that description though

Nah, you are right, I just haven't rly been steelbook collecting for a while and didn't think too much about it. (I think even the translation is like metal tin edition lol). I'll try calling it steel case edition or something so that people don't mistake it for steelbook but recognize that it's not just a large tin container but an actual case for storing the game etc.

As a note, I'm not the type to be offended if I make a mistake and I'm called out for it. Pointing it out gives me a chance to correct the information so that it's accurate for the others that will use this information to make informed decisions.

No worries. I just pointed it out to help people correct their expectations. There's nothing wrong with wanting that edition with or without it being a steelbook, as you said it's better to have correct info is all.

Yeah it's hard to refer to a non-steelbook edition. Maybe metal game case edition? lol

That is a futurepak if I'm not wrong. And it's not a new brand, it's just a change of the metalpak name. Different name same crap

lol guessing they changed names because of the US lawsuit that forbade metalpaks to be sold in the US? Or was that starpaks? It gets confusing

[Twisted]

is this an official release?..or is this a store that got a vendor to make this for them?

[rapister]

Here you go guys,

"FUTUREPAK"

some details in the video if you click on it

A futurepak(TM) is "a premium star metalpak."

not sure if the gundam one is really a futurepak, but sure does look like one, and it seems limited to Hong Kong/Asia only (Not Japan) . Does look official though.

hope that's helpful......

according to the video..in case people didn't click on it..futurepak is a SUPERIOR product compared to steelbook and futurepak is of HIGHER QUALITY.

lol a video by the company that makes futurepaks states they are superior products than steelbooks. Must be true then
