Perhaps putting the game in, making the slipcover and sealing it are handled by someone other than scanovo?

If its the steelbook edition I don't get it....

It was delisted after preorder then reappeared... Why would it be listed for immediate sale if they have a fulfilment problem?!?

It was marketed as the Zavvi exclusive steelbook edition. We are assuming it will have a slipcover, but it is not a part of any of the other EU tiers of CEs.

The Amazon steelbooks are sealed if that helps...

If you look on the page, though, it still has the pre-order promise thing. I think it's just a wonky listing.

Are those the ones with the picture of the goggles like from the CEs?

True... Did you want to keep it as a sealed edition since, if not, the steel is NOT Zavvi exclusive which may be part of the problem...

Yes that's the one but sealed with DLC inside...

I'm very, very anti-keeping things sealed, so that was not going to be my plan. I was just hoping that it would come in a slipcase or something and be a legitimate 'CE' rather than just another empty pre-order steelbook. I was hoping that because I would rather have a nice little steelbook CE than any of the other ones released for the game.

They're all over ebay, too. eBay UK got a pretty big influx of them after the game launched. Mine came from Poland and was one of the pre-sale steels--and is taking forever--so I can't really compare what the difference is (DLC-wise). Mine was also sealed, though.

The standard CE steel
The silver edition silvered steel
The Zavvi exclusive
The Futureshop exclusive

As far as I can confirm so at all are G1

Did anyone confirm if there is a G2 version of the "futureshop" steelbook ( which was only G1 in Canada )

Ah ok I thought you two were referring to a specific Amazon one
