We're assuming that the original 4k are getting the PS3 STEELbook that was probably already produced before the goalposts were moved. But that doesn't explain the dusty copies because there was no t-shirt or artbook in the original LE . . .unless, of course, they pre-packaged the original steelies and stored them but then had to wait for the PS3 stickerbooks for the late-comers to be produced.

Make any sense . . .




Were you one of the original 4000 who got a steelbook mate. If you were I'd wait before sending it back. You might end up with a stickerbook.

I was yeah so won't be sending it back. Just wondering how they can still have that number unsold considering how limited this should be!

The cancellations must have been legendary although quite a few might have defected to the 360 version.

This is gonna be in the sale sooner than later, methinks

Looking through the unboxing videos on YouTube, could the difference in case simply be down to the fact that the Xbox version comes on 2 discs and the playstation on a single blue ray? Could mean all ps3 versions are proper steel books regardless of date ordered?

Thanks for all the great posts guys, I have been attentively following this thread for several days now and it has finally prompted me to sign up to the forums!

I did an unboxing video today of the Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection Limited Edition (PlayStation 3, Zavvi.com Exclusive) and can confirm that it is indeed a steelbook. I can also confirm that Zavvi packaged it poorly and the outter cardboard box of the Limited Edition is really thin and cheap (mine had two crushed corners) - thankfully the contents inside were in pristine condition. (I was offered an exchange but had zero faith the replacement would arrive in better condition - I therefore cut my losses and accepted their offer of a 10% refund).

be interesting to see, if they still had 3K of stock then maybe I might get lucky anyway (if there are only 4K steelies).

still no sign of any PS3 stickerbooks anywhere in the wild...tomorrow is a big day!
