Perhaps putting the game in, making the slipcover and sealing it are handled by someone other than scanovo?

That is entirely possible. Unfortunately, that is what ultimately differentiates that as a special edition, rather than just a pre-order steelbook, so that's an important and defining factor for me. I will continue waiting, but I certainly hope that something happens with it soon.

It was marketed as the Zavvi exclusive steelbook edition. We are assuming it will have a slipcover, but it is not a part of any of the other EU tiers of CEs.

The Amazon steelbooks are sealed if that helps...

I'm very, very anti-keeping things sealed, so that was not going to be my plan. I was just hoping that it would come in a slipcase or something and be a legitimate 'CE' rather than just another empty pre-order steelbook. I was hoping that because I would rather have a nice little steelbook CE than any of the other ones released for the game.

They're all over ebay, too. eBay UK got a pretty big influx of them after the game launched. Mine came from Poland and was one of the pre-sale steels--and is taking forever--so I can't really compare what the difference is (DLC-wise). Mine was also sealed, though.
