Online Bethesada store opens!

whats there to say that the "5000 run" steelbook really means 5000 for the USA?..then mysteriously some seller in middle of Europe as dozens of the just the steelbook for sale?..i say this, because we were told a couple of years ago the Zavvi edition METAL GEAR SOLID HD collection collectors edition, also had a small run of just 5000 steelbooks, then some guy in france had empty steelbooks for sale, and then others reported in Europe some independent game shops had just the steelbook as a pre order bonus...so is there any way to individually number these steelbooks inside this edition?..

Why have both items numbered, the box and the steelbook?

Actually that is a good question.

Ryan, would you mind letting us know (if you can/are allow to) if the steelbook is limited to the Panzerhund edition or if it will be available anywhere else?

Also if you have a total # produced for the steelbook.

Thanks!

They made it just for us, and we made just enough to fill the Panzerhund kits (5k total). The only way it ever shows up anywhere else is if someone bootlegs it....

Haha a metalpak version is bound to show up

Thank you very much for answering and clearing up that little bit of information.
I placed my order earlier today already, but this just reassured me I made the right choice!

Hope to see more "CEs" like this in the future.

Did you read the sample chapters?

Ryan, just another question - just saw the unboxing by IGN of the PC Imperial Edition and they showed a few pages from the included artbook which appeared to have a lot of writing in it too -- is the material in this artbook recycled/included in the $100 guide-set? Or are they completely unique/separate without any duplication? If there IS duplication, approximately how much?

Thanks for the info!

I haven't seen the final art book in that edition, but the content in our books should be unique and exclusive. Hodgson was directed and got approval from the ESO team for what he wrote, but I know Bethesda wrote their own content for their book.

I have not read every word of both books, but I would expect they are 100% different.

Okay, between that answer and your sample chapters etc., you've sold me - I've moved some purchases around and I'll be getting the guide set when the console version is released (pending availability of course) unless TwistedSymphony's review says they're really made out of dryer sheets or something. Thanks again!
