What would Zavvi know?? They never opened one to take pics, they never made an unboxing video and I would guess they're only going by the video Konami made for the Xbox360 version.

The Stickerbook for the PS3 is the Loch Ness Monster for Steelbooks!

And anyone can type they have a stickerbook for PS3 without showing any pics. They could also say they have a Steelbook for the Xbox360!

"thanks for the post, I would like to inform you the image listed on the website is printed onto the steel casing. Many thanks, Kieran"
It's more like confirming that they had no idea about what they sell
I think seeing at least 3 pics of steelbooks from this site is proof enough to me that there was never a stickerbook

What's stopping a troll putting a PS3 steebook in an Xbox copy and visa versa?

PS3 Steelbooks only come in G2 size [PS3 game case size]
And the Xbox360 Stickerbook are only in G1 size [DVD case size]

A "troll" could always just get a blank DVD size Steelbook and customize it to look like the PS3 steelbook but would require the artist talent to do so

Pictures to follow
My condolences, I've seen quite a few pics of the horror as well as videos! Freddy Kruegger is a Unicorn riding a rainbow compared to the Zavvi debacle!

I just got news from Zavvi:

Quote:
Regarding this item these orders were the first 4000 that will have received the metal version, unfortunately we have gone over this 4000 due to this your order will not be the metal version.
DAMNIT!

@V: Still sounds a bit vague. I mean, they're all metal cases So they weren't exactly clear were they? And I think someone from here who has posted and have received their PS3 version also confirms that they order outside of the initial 4000 units.
And other real evidence shows that the bar codes are no different!? I think it's a couple of pages back, someone else who's been following this thread can confirm that. I just wouldn't believe anything Zavvi says until I see substantial pics/evidence to show anything different to what we've already seen.

Furthermore, I still don't know the reasoning behind the week delay for Australia less than two weeks before it was due out?!

It's due to the fact that a lot of the original 4000 cancelled orders, but it's still the first 4000 that had steelbooks made, so any cancelled orders that were filled up with new people ordering will still have received the steelbooks as opposed to the stickerbooks. xx

There would've been some constant checking and numbering then cos people would have canceled and ordered at random times throughout, which would mean order places would have moved up as cancellations occurred. They're computer program system for that must be pretty hi-tech

So until I see real photographic proof from customers who received them, I shall deny such Stickerbooks for PS3 exist at this point in time!

I don't even want to think about it....so what will Australia be receiving?? ALL Stickerbooks? [which would technically make the PS3 version more rare than any other variant in that case ]

@Zelda: Those are very disturbing and disheartening pictures
