Claptrap in a Box Inconsistancy!

On this very website for a start...

On the homepage the picture of the claptrap in a box edition shows a different disc.

In the contents description it says steelbook with handsome collection disc (never seen before artwork)

Now whilst that may seem vague in conjunction with the picture it seems to suggest the disc will be different not the steelbook...

But if you don't agree you will find in plain English on the 2K website contents the words "unique game disc artwork"

I'm probably barking up the wrong tree though! I give up!

The artwork refers to the steelbook. The Handsome Collection disc is the game disc. The disc you see is the exact same disc in the video, it just doesn't have the Xbox One header on the disc (or PS4 header). The steelbook has different artwork compared to the regular game case.

The 2K website says "Collectible Steel Case with special artwork not seen on regular packaging. COLLECTIBLE." Once again, this refers to the case, not the disc.

There is no collectible disc. End of story.

First of all, respect and thanks for your research and dedication. Don't think I'm being alkward in just looking for the truth. Now I know for a fact I saw an unboxing where the disk was different, but it was before the release... I think it was IGN. I'm gonna look for it now and it I find it I will post it as a responce... If I cant I shall admit you are indeed correct and I apologise for my previous comments!

IGN didn't do the unboxing until the game was released.

ive been following the clap trap in a box edition since it was first announced on PS blog, and I've never seen anywhere stated there's a different game disc.

so have you found the 'truth' yet, my friend?

waiting on your responce

looks like people have started posting unboxings on youtube, and the disc sure don't look any special to me

sorry to say, David, but it seemed like there is some sort of language barrier, and you probably misunderstood 2k's website description.

Can I just say, nobody came over as a c##t here other than the OP, David Howells, who has tainted a simple question by embarrassingly accusing people of being c##ty when they weren't.

I've got the UK version of the Claptrap edition. You don't deserve to know the answer to your question, Mr Howells, from the way you've behaved in this thread. But as I don't want to come across all c##ty like you, the answer is that the UK edition came with the sealed "standard" edition disc, and the Steelbook unsealed and empty within the main box.

The way I read everything about this from the moment it was advertised was that the CASE would have different artwork. Never seen anything about the disc; wouldn't expect it; but if there was an early unboxing that DID have different disc art, likely it was a promo version of the disc before the artwork was finalised for release.

I would suggest that in future you try to improve your attitude towards fellow forum members when asking for their help. Nobody was out of line until you were; perhaps it is a language barrier issue as somebody suggested but you don't just bandy the word "cunt" around when asking for help.

Or you can just be happy you have 4 of them seeing as some people didn't even get a chance to buy one because people like you buy 4 of them

FYI, if you actually take a proper look, the claptrap-in-a-box edition from GAME.CO.UK is actually the XBOX version. I assume, normally, the game that comes with it is IN the box as well, but for ME, the game was outside the box. I checked the box itself and saw something concerning XBOX, so I honestly think there's a different version for PS4 and XBOX, whereas they probably removed the XBOXversions to get rid of more of these editions.

So it'd be interesting if you would actually get a special disc, because it'd be an XBOX disc instead of a PS disc.
