well to me I think, as long as it stays minty.. it will still have value.. not brand new sealed value buy if your plan is 20-30 years down the track.. it doesn't really matter

Hmm, that is indeed interesting, but would explain the cardboard band around them. I guess they're generic size, as they are unbranded themselves. Are the contents any different, I wonder? Or is it just the branded cardboard band around it that's different?

The DLC code inside will be different too xx

I own both steelbooks and the only difference notable from the outside is the cardboard inlay, for the rest i dont know because they are sealed :/.

But now i face a dilema, dont know if ill open my crystal edition or keep it sealed. Im afraid to open it, it looks so beautiful and untouched lol.

I've collected my copy of Crystal Edition yesterday.
Well, it's nice overall, but...they again, made a booklet and called it "artbook", oh how I wish they would make once a collector's edition that would have an A4 hardcover book with lots of pages ,i like their concept arts so much ;_; I also didn't like the digipack the CD's were in, oh and the t-shirt was f*cking huge, not like i was hoping it will fit me, but I still wish you could choose the size while ordering, instead of them assuming only big people play games.
Actually the thing I like the most is the box (and the game)! It's so awesome looking.
But I'm still more than happy that I have it and wouldn't trade it ever. Square at last made a proper collector's edition! (as opposed to a flier, OST demo and some stickers)

Really? The shirt is huge?? I've read somewhere it's a size Medium! I have it, I just haven't taken it out to have a look
For the XIII series, they've always sold the OST in digi-pak form for some reason. I like it the way it is, even the US CE is in digi-pak only. And yeah, a proper art book would have been nice, wish Ballistic Publishing released an limited folio edition

These pre-order Steelbooks came in G1 size only, I believe only Futureshop offered a G2 size?? The contents are pretty sweet for something that came for free

Just emptied now haha, thanks a bunch dude, if you don't find another limited edition that's okay, maybe they can exchange for something else? All I want is that pre order pack :9

[joynulk]

Ok. They have offered a refund. Let me know if that is what you want or the game you want to swap it for

It may not be that huge for a man, I guess

For the XIII series, they've always sold the OST in digi-pak form for some reason. I like it the way it is, even the US CE is in digi-pak only.

Hm..they generally sell their normal edition OST's in digipack form, and I like the design they have. But the digipack from the CE looks way cheaper than the normal, retail version.
Also, I saw an unboxing and, if I remember correctly, the CD's in the US CE were stuck to the packing itself (like the artbook) Or am i confusing something?
