Still probably better than severely overrated Cod.

Exactly. It annoys me how much reviewers praise innovation in games, and yet score COD AAA year after year after year of the same ol' stuff. I mean, the games are good (but compared to the money they bring in though, not so much. I mean you'd think generating billions you'd maybe expect functional servers and leaderboards, and no hacking and such.). But I'd give them about a 8 score.

Also, got my regular brink edition today at Future Shop and it came with a really nice, embossed sleeve.

I received my Brink SteelBook from Game Gears today, and can confirm that it DOESN'T come sealed. Well, sort of. Not sealed as you would expect, but does come with a clear circular sticker across the opening

I can also confirm that it doesn't come with any of the bonus DLC which the regular "Special Edition" comes with, so it's really a toss up between a nice unsealed SteelBook packaging or having the in-game bonuses. I guess the long-term collector will have opted for the SteelBook

Oh no circular seals, it sounds like Gamegears sealed these up. I guess they got the steelbook separately and then placed the normal game inside.

I think I might go with the Australian collector's edition with the extra contents.

Due to the fact that there are no external markings for either PS3, X360, or PC on the SteelBook itself, I am guessing you are not far from the truth!

If that is indeed the issue, then technically we should also be given the bonus DLC as found in the Special Edition - Especially those who pre-ordered that edition in the first place and had their order "upgraded" to this SteelBook...



If I had ordered one for each console, I would be quite frustrated as there is no clear way of telling which is which until you open them up. As far as I know, the PS3 ones come in the same Dvd size cases as the other versions, rather than the smaller Blu-Ray sized cases (Requires citation)

Ok..... sounds like a bummer.

You have a point. Was a nightmare finding out what happened to the DLC for the Sims Medieval CE.

I'm confused. Does this affect everyone? Or did you write to them to complain about the issue first?

I haven't received any eMail from them, but then I haven't opened mine so I wouldn't know whether something was wrong or not
