X360 owner maybe?

Anyway, a reminder - before opening please all check the barcode - this is the one we have so far: 4012927054062 if your box has a different number then I would say it's safe to worry that you have a stickerbook!

FTR the one I got off eBay - the guy said he didn't get MGS4 so I can only ass-u-me that he was not one of the original 4K (however that doesn't mean that he's not part of the first 4K due to cancelled orders)

I'm not even a MGS fan but that box looks lovely sealed up like that!

Haha, tbh it was because I was half considering returning it just because of how much it was vs. what you actually get in it.

I opened it there and it is a steelbook, though.
There was some damage inside the box, it was the white cardboard that holds the book had the strut bits at the back ripped but meh, it's not major and it's inside at least.

Yeah, exactly the same thing happened with mine. Think it must be the sheer weight of the artbook but, as you say, no big deal.

How did you feel about this at £70 after all the travelling circus antics surrounding the release

Sorry mate . . .my brain is so addled by this thread that i think I'm in a state of total confusion. Not sure if it's fun or totally disheartening to be honest

Just phone them up trying to get 10% money back as mine is damaged and they weren't having any of it lol.

Guess Ill just have to keep it although it is mint - guess I'm one of the lucky ones! Packaging wasn't bad tbh it was proper packed with those massive air bubble things.

Well I was actually pretty pleased with the release date being shoved quite far back, there was so much coming out at September/November and so it spread the cost a bit rather than spending a big amount in just one or two months.

What was making me question the price was in effect what I've got for the extra, say £45 since these HD collections seem to get to £25 pretty fast, is a really nice artbook, a big box which does look good, a steelbook and a T-shirt.

Was the release date much of a pain for you?

Well, I've had mixed feelings about this CE the whole time. Initially I was really annoyed that they cancelled the limited steelbook because i had just managed to get one before they closed the offer.

I was pleased that they moved the release date though because, like you, I was snowed under financially at the time.

When they announced the new version it looked okay until all the bullshit about stickerbooks - at which point i became anxious again. Now i have it, i'm just relieved that it's done with and even more relieved that it ain't a worthless stickerbook.

As for the package, I have to say it's pretty decent. The artbook is great, the steelbook looks mint and the manual for the game itself is outstanding - considering what other publishers are putting out.

I've spent more than £70 for CEs that have been a lot worse

Here are some pictures of the damaged boxes - Honestly it couldnt have been packaged worse, the boxes were worng size, no internal protection and plenty of room to move around internally
