I wish. I am pissed because I actually wanted it as a collector, and there's literally 100% no fucking chance this legitimately sold out to real people in an hour, especially at the hefty $250 price.

Wish Gamestop would go and cancel orders based on Ebay/Amazon scalpers. Complete joke.

I think if there is a way for them to trace it could happen but sadly eBay sellers are anonymous.

Does anyone else think it's absolutely nuts to announce a £250 collector's edition and not even at the very least have any "contents subject to change" pictures showing what the items are supposed to actually look like?

As for the steelbook issue, I'd agree that it seems pretty confusing in this case although if it offers any clarity, an e-mail I got from Game earlier states that in the UK the steelbook is exclusive to Game in the UK with the "Super Deluxe Edition". When I checked when it was announced Game offered the Super Diamond one at £250 which includes the Super Deluxe and therefore a steelbook but also a £220 Diamond with a standard copy from what I remember and thus no steelbook was included, all of which seeming to mean that at least in the UK the steelbook isn't a standard feature of the Diamond chest.

Just a PSA UK users. Stock is back up on game.co.uk, managed to pre-order just a few minutes ago after checking every few hours.

Because they cannot use the word Steelbook in the advertisment if it's not genuine Steelbook. The trademark makes litte difference. If it was Futurepak or whatever else they would say "Steelcase, Steel case, Metal case" or smth along those lines.

They say Steelbook on 2K Games homepage and for me, more importantly, they say Steelbook on Amazon sites as well and Amazon is very strict about that. For example Mortal Kombat XI - the edition that comes with "metal case" is advertised to contain Steelcase in Amazon.

Are you gonna make me google all the times they say steelbook and is not a steelbook? Like... seriously?

I mean look at the advertisment. It's all over the place:

For Honor + Metal Case
Exclusive Steel Book
Game + Steelbook

You got me on Steelbook though, it is indeed written there at one point, but come on, look at the product page and headline. It's like a cheap chinese webfront.

Anyway, go see GAME webpage if you remain unconvinced.

https://www.game.co.uk/en/borderland...t-mask-2600673

You can even zoom in and see the spine.

Then check what's written under "Mortal Kombat Kollectors Edition" and "Control"Deluxe Edition.

Not trying to come out as cocky and not trying to say i know it all or that i know more than you, however...

I do collect steelbooks, i spend hours browsing around, trust me when i tell you that many times Metalpacks/Ironpacks are announced as Steebooks.

There are cases like the ones you point out where they are announced correctly, but in many cases they are not.

Another one i just remembered

It's odd for me because your link was the first time I EVER saw a falsely advertised Steelbook in like, let's say 5 years? I emailed Scanavo, not hoping for a reply, but who knows.

And already established that you know more than me since I hadn't seen this kind of stuff on Amazon before so...

Edit: The WWE one, just wow! Wtf is this?! I'm gonna eat my words. Although I am still confident we will get an actual Steelbook - you bringing an example that involves 2K Sports and considering 2K Games is publishing Borderlands 3 - let's just say...actually let's not say anything.
