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?
