Ah, didn't know that. Thought he was refering to the post Tmp made.

Question: Did anyone order a US and EU version of the steel and can make a comparison?
I usually don't give much in regards to colorvariations, but when it comes to Final Fantasy or Batman... I'm sure you know what I mean

I don't understand why they do this...




Luckily there were only a few micro scratches on the back.

Scanavo charges 10 cents extra per steel for shrink wrap so most retailers dont get it to save money (especially Gamestop because they are trying to cut corners wherever they can)

One of the reasons I ordered from FNAC and all of them came wrapped without a single scratch as far as I can see.

Mine is much worse... They shipped mine just in an envelope. Steelbook arrived dented and scratched... Now I regret buying from them, should've ordered one from FNAC...

You mean your international shipping from France already arrived? That's insanely fast. I should've ordered from there... Mine from GameStop came with lots of scratches and one huge dent...

Sorry to hear that :/

Yeah. They shipped on Tuesday with DHL to make sure I have it on release date. Came to about 110$ for 3 steelbooks with shipping. Definitely recommend them in the future

You would think shipping small items in bubble wrapped envelopes would be much cheaper than shipping them in unnecessarily big boxes like this but I guess not.

I agree but I don't know the details of their logistics agreements. I would assume the don't work on exact size/weight basis with fedex. At the end of the day throwing things in a giant box quickly is probably cheaper than taking the time package everything carefully. Amazon does the same...

I ordered mine with the game from the Square Enix store. It was about $10 more than Gamestop due to the shipping, but it was worth in the end. They did a nice job packing it. The Steelbook was wrapped in bubble wrap and placed in a good sized box with the game.
