I doubt there will be many threads that get anywhere near this amount of posts.
Nope, but had you been the 1000th poster you may have, alas you came up short

hello guys,

did I understand right that they selling fake steelbooks????
I bought yesterday from Ebay a Metal Gear solid HD collection Limited Edition
from Zavvi.

Is there no steelbook in it? what is a stickerbook?
I'm going crazy when I paid money for a fake steelbook, a t-shirt and one normal game.

Judging by the state of this thread, mate . . .I don't think anybody knows more than you do

Maybe the stickerbooks are gonna be the REAL PS3 rarities

On their facebook page:

"So are you able to finally confirm 100% that all PS3 versions of MGS HD Ultimate Edition are real steelbooks and not stickerbooks?

Zavvi Customer Enquiries Hello Gary, thanks for the message. We have just received confirmation that they are the printed version. I hope this information helps. Many thanks, Jordan"

"Printed version . . .??"

WTF does that mean - artwork printed on a proper steelbook or piece of art printed on a sticker and added to a blank steelbook

It means that he has no idea. His guess is that giving a reply that it's printed would make more sense than hand painted.

Same goes with all the replies from zavvi. They have absolutely no idea and are just giving some random guesses.

Q: "Is it a printed steelbook?"
A: "I confirm it is a steelbook"

Q: "Is it a stickerbook?"
A: "I confirm it is a stickerbook"

Q: "The XBox is a stickerbook can you confirm the PS3 is a stickerbook?"
A: "I confirm it is a stickerbook for PS3"

Q: "So PS3 gets real steelbooks and XBox gets stickerbooks?"
A: "I confirm PS3 gets real steelbooks and XBox gets stickerbooks"

Q: "Are the first 4000 real steelbooks and the rest stickerbooks?"
A: "I confirm that the first 4000 are real steelbooks and the rest are stickerbooks"


Notice the trend?

I'd rather pay for shipping than have them use some bullshit cheap couriers who probably make up for their dirt cheap rates by stealing and selling off our packages.
I guess they have to pay their hired couriers some how?
