I think in zavvi's case:
"been informed" = "i'm guessing"
"I confirm" = "I'll just answer whatever so you'll leave me alone"

It's just like an email they sent to me "I confirm that your refund has been processed and your credit card statement will show it in 3-5 working days" then after 1 month I have not received it and when I check again they reply "I can confirm that this has been refunded on xx/xx/xx" and then when I tell them I paid by paypal etc, they finally refund. That's zavvi, nothing they say is 100%

yeah, they totally screwed up my RE 3DS order - I had RE:Rev on pre-order and they sent me RE:Mercs - what a pain that was getting sorted...they wanted me to return and wait for a refund I was like "erm, I don't think so - you took funds without permission...let's see what trading standards say" then all of a sudden I got a refund

What exactly has been falsely advertised? A stickerbook is a variant of a steelbook,its just none of us put much thought into it until recently.

I had thought variant steelbook would just be a steelbook with a different design to the one shown.


I'm not sticking up for Zavvi though,i think they're well dodgy,but I dont think we have any sort of legal claim unfortunately.

And, even though another poster said something along the lines of "but if you preordered the original ultimate edition you should have legal standing" you won't, due to the fact that they have given plenty of notice about the change in the edition, including an email to inform, and info on the Zavvi blog, etc xx

Ignore my last comment. The site updated slowly on my phone,and somebody had already answered that particular question.

Val,you've made an incredible amount of posts for only having joined last august.

MOVE AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD ;-)

Back on topic,i've heard from a reliable* source that the outer box has a small button on it, that when pushed utters the phrase "whats in the box".




*not reliable in the slightest and completely fabricated in all honesty.

Haha, yeah I don't know how I've managed to do it to be honest Although, August would have been a tad more impressive It was June I joined xx

[vhal_x]

I guess it's because I don't shut up xx

well no, because on 8th Dec zavvi told us (or led us to believe - whatever you prefer) that they were NOT STICKERBOOKS - hence no need to think about it, until a day or 2 ago when a video surfaces of a stickerbook. We even had (a few days prior to the video) people posting pics of a real steelbook so to be honest it seemed a cert:

cust asks 'hhmm tha looks like a stickbook'
zavvi say 'informed it's not stickerbook'
4/5 days ago pic of real steelbook confirm what's already been said
2 days ago video shows X360 is a stickerbook
today it's (apparently) confirmed PS3 is a stickerbook even tho we see even more real steelbooks surface on the web

so you can see why we've not thought about it - until 2 days ago there was no real reason to as 'we' were 'informed' it wasn't a stickerbook!

Has anyone here who pre-ordered via the original 'limited to 4000' version have their orders shipped yet?
