No, what i'm saying in this particular case..they stuck the word 'VARIANT" in the steelbook description, meaning the stickerbook is derived from a steelbook...so it was'nt really a bait & switch from their part, per description, it was always intended to be a stickerbook for zavvi, but marketing thought "variant" sounds more fancy and elegant, then to say "sticker" which sounds cheap and unwanted.

"Stickerbook" is more of a slang amongst us collectors, so they might not know the meaning of it, because technically, it is still a Steelbook =(

so..when asked if it's a stickerbook or a steelbook, these companies are going to say "STEELBOOK" because it is indeed a STEELBOOK.

Next time, we need to ask "is this a PRINTED artwork steelbook or a STICKER artwork steelbook"
No . . .next time we need to ask "have you got a fucking brain ??" because these guys wouldn't know a steelbook/stickerbook from a hole in their arse.

With regard to a stickerbook BEING a steelbook . . .well yes technically. But ask a collector and they'll tell you that a stickerbook ain't worth a wank

I'm gonna wait and see whether the PS3 is a true steelbook (highly doubt it!). Otherwise, I'm going to ask for a refund.

*Edit* A customer on the Zavvi blog just confirmed that the ps3 version is indeed a stickerbook. What a let down!
