Very good.

£49.99

lolwut.

Yea, I thought WTF when I saw the price too! £49.99 for a SteelBook! They've got to be joking! And I thought the LittleBigPlanet 2 SteelBook was overpriced!

I guess Sony want you to pay for all these Day One perks you're getting with the game! Although I am a little disappointed that the SteelBook isn't included as part of the Helghast Edition...

Exactly, the price is a bit out of whack, but is there a possibility that these KZ3 steelbooks will become rare like the Spanish Mirror's Edge steelbook? If so, it may be worth the investment, but I honestly have no clue on availability.

Although I am a little disappointed that the SteelBook isn't included as part of the Helghast Edition...

Seriously? I know there are no steelbooks in the NA region, but I thought PAL Helghast editions contained the steelbook as well. Huh, I guess I was mistaken.

Mandingo is right, the PAL version has the steelbook inside.

This pack* comes in a hand-decorated Helghast soldier’s helmet and includes the “SteelBook” Collector’s Edition with a PlayStation Network voucher code that:

^ OK, that makes sense, because the PAL Helghast edition costs an arm and a leg, so it'd better have a steelbook!

That's strange, because the HMV description mentions nothing about it... If that is indeed the case, then I will cancel my order. Going to need confirmation of that though before I do

Confirmation from Killzone 3.com aswell as playstation blog.

HMV have also confirmed this for me via Twitter:

They would do well to amend their website listing to reflect this in that case!

Yes, it seems a lot of websites out there have difficulty in updating information in good time. And it's confusing since listing a steelbook would potentially entice more people to purchase.
