Metal Gear Solid Ultimate HD Collection Zavvi World Exclusive only 4000 worldwide

[Gemini-Phoenix]

Here are the links you guys need for the *new* Metal Gear Solid HD Collection SteelBook:

PS3 - http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms.../10532517.html

X360 - http://www.zavvi.com/games/platforms.../10574262.html

However, both appear to be sold out, which is odd seeing as how the X360 version has only just been announced. I can understand the PS3 version being sold out as the previous SteelBook was for PS3, but not the X360 version...


As far as I can tell, those who pre-ordered the *old* PS3 SteelBook have had their orders changed to this version - Although personally I would have liked an option to change it to an X360 version


And if I'm entirely honest, I think the way that this CE has been handled is a fucking farce! Not only have Konami messed us around, but Zavvi seem to be sticking two fingers up at us as well - First they don't bother to tell us that the release date is changed (until I Tweeted them about it), and when they do the eMail they send is riddled with errors

Even more annoying to me is the fact that this CE has gone from being a PS3 exclusive to being available for the X360 as well, although I do think they have a nerve charging the same price for the PS3 as the X360 when the PS3 version comes with MGS4...

Speaking of that, who honestly wants a Platinum version of MGS4? What is the point of that? Anyone buying this will most likely have a separate copy of MGS4 aleady. Half the appeal of the originally announced MGS HD SteelBook was the fact that all the main series games would be available in one set - If anyone wanted to have a complete package, then they're now being robbed of that. There's absolutely no reason as to why MGS4 can't be included inside the SteelBook with the other games

The other main draw for this set is the fact that it was limited and going to be numbered. Now there's no word of whether or not is is still going to be limited and numbered. Why take that away from us? Why announce it in the first place if they're just going to change their minds? My guess is, they spotted eBay sellers trying to make a profit and decided to stitch them up by changing the contents


And what the hell does "Variant SteelBook" mean anyway?

I hope they include something unique or number their edition, if not why do they call it Zavvi exclusive? Because they include a damn platinum game?

If we go by past editions that have been Zavvi exlcuives such as the recent Dragon ball z, we know they are exclusive to them but only in the UK.

The fact that the details on the numbering has been removed likely means it was removed also.

I could live without the numbering but what I can't live with is the fact that MGS4 will come separately and to top it off as a platinum version, not even unique.

And what the hell does "Variant SteelBook" mean anyway?

possible it means there will multiple version, just like FIFA 2012

Well it depends, if the buyer isn't aware of the changes then what will happen is that they will receive the new version without knowing. They can of course return providing that the seller advertised the contents on their listing with the old content.

otherwise not much they can do,

Of course if the buyer is aware and cancelled the edition which they the right to because it has not arrived. Then all the extra profit from the sale which is likely already spent, is going to destroy those seller who had multiple versions on sale.

This is going to be an interesting next few days for Buyers and seller.

I think the buyers are gonna be more pissed

[joynulk]

as a collector im pissed was really looking forward to a numbered steelbook

[surfdude73]

This is becoming far too often with all CE's now, if zavvi had the rights to this, surely as a company they can demand this issue to be made, unless there is a drastic change I am going to cancel my pre order, if it's not description changes it's drastic price drops a day after the returns policy ends, YANKERS!

Well I got my limited US version today and that book cover is exactly the same!
Unforutanately, or fortunately as it now seems(because that looks 99.9% like a stickerbook), I never preordered the Zavvi edition.
I did get my hands on the Japanese limited edition peacewalker with two models and a mug!! Not that i'm gloating or anything. As it goes though, I still want the uk/au edition too.
