Batman Arkham Origins

[Vertigo]

Just received my Arkham Origins "futureshop" metal pak in the mail and despite the elaborate embossing of batman on the front and back, the overall product quality is pretty shoddy.

The hinges holding the steelbook together are made of plastic and one of the hinges was already broken/cracked when I opened the metal pak ( i.e., the metal pak is being held together by the one remaining plastic latch )

Redmagster - even with your fondness of steelbook/steel case products, this may disappoint you

Thanks a bunch buddy

Hinges are strange. I've never seen a metal pak with round hinges like that

Art is nice but I bet it has a million microscratches like most metalpaks

Don't worry I know I need an overhaul but to me that is valuable hunting time LOL!!

And I just go placidly amidst the noise and haste...

Yeah that's why I did my bandaid of creating a list of links to my updates instead of making a new thread

Still have to move everything from photobucket to flickr

No problem. It's definitely not worth it as a preorder bonus or as a purchasable item from amazon.de.

Will be returning this ( + game when it arrives ) and will be content with the NA CE

Hopefully these pics help people decide if they want to keep or cancel their steel case preorders
