I have just checked out the GAME website to find the following links for Sniper: Ghost Warrior on the PS3:

Standard - http://www.game.co.uk/en/sniper-ghost-warrior-110799

Special Edition - http://www.game.co.uk/en/sniper-ghos...edition-146534

The standard edition has been out since earlier in the year, that much we know, so we can ignore that listing. However, the Special Edition doesn't make it clear whether it's a SteelBook or DigiPak, nor whether it's the same as what is being called the "Bulletproof Edition"

Where did this SteelBook rumour come from in the first place? Clearly GAME have no details on their page for this Special Edition. Do any other retailers have this? Where did the "Bulletproof Edition" come from?


I have also yet to see any actual photo's of any other edition in this thread which differs from the standard original release. All I have seen is a stock pic showing a SteelBook, which we believe was cancelled by Ubisoft


Also, this Special Edition which GAME have on their site is also available for the X360, which was supposed to have been released on the 16th of September:

X360 - http://www.game.co.uk/en/sniper-ghos...edition-146537

Any news on whether this edition exists?

Yeah, I must admit this is one of the most obscure and confusing steelbooks that I've come across brought about mainly by GAME/Station's vague description on their website.

It was by pure accident that I saw a couple of the "Bulletproof" steelbook PS3 versions lurking in the shelves of one of my local GAME outlets.

Went back and bought the only one left a coupla days later . . .here's the proof

There's also a poster but the pic didn't come out for some reason. If anybody desperately needs to see it then I'll take another on request.

Based on what we know now, i believe the online 360 "Special Edition" is just the standard packaging + dlc. I would bet that the PS3 "Special Edn" is, in fact, the steelbook - because it costs more.

Just glad i spotted a physical copy because it eased the confusion just a little. The girl in GAME where i purchased mine did confirm that it had only just been released.

Hmm looks like I may end up with 2 copies when my special edition order from GAME arrives.

yeah evilvort3x standard P&P is fine

The Gamestation website also listed the same Special Edition that GAME have (the one Lemur ordered) because they are pretty much the same in everything they do lol

But when I went in to my local Gamestation and asked about if it was the Steelbook or the same as GAME Special Edition they were very helpful in not knowing anything (as usual)

Lol i also got 5 copies of this from my local store

All SOLD Pending Payment



Let me know here if you want 1

Ok, thanks for the pictures guys! So at least we have now confirmed that it does exist.

However, I am a little concerned that:

A) They don't appear to be sealed at all, with some of the ones displayed above clearly having been gutted and displayed on the shelf

B) It's a pain in the arse to order this online as the GAME website gives very little detail as to what it is you're ordering

C) The release of this edition is piss poor, and more could have been done to promote it. Is it a GAME exclusive? Is there any other citation online that these SteelBooks are exclusive to the PS3?

D) If one takes the risk and orders online, then what would one receive? SteelBook or standard copy? Sealed or unsealed?
