Metal Gear Solid Ultimate HD Collection Zavvi World Exclusive only 4000 worldwide

[mosavon]

Zavvi have always sucked so this wouldn't surprise me at all but how does a once Worldwide Exclusive Steelbook turn out not even to be a Steelbook? Then create a more limited run for a platform that wasn't even suppose to get anything? Then the "Real Steelbook" turns up as a standalone item and in a completely different region altogether.

By the way Zavvi stop sending me these irritating emails about why this edition is late you freaks

I cancelled my pre order a few weeks ago, I'm gonna wait for a youtube unboxing.

They went from, limited to 4000 units only on PS3, to 999.999.999.999 units on Xbox and PS3 to... shitty stickerbook. This CE is the fail of the year.

I received Failed cancellation e-mail for the Xbox 360 from Zavvi, sigh.

Go to their facebook, post your order number and request a cancellation, sometimes is faster than sending an email.

my new theory is ..indeed PS3 AND XBOX360 BOTH will be stickerbooks, the initial run of genuine ps3 steelbooks product was cancelled, and reformatted for this new jumbo boxes, so konami probably decided to disperse the real ps3 steelbooks to specific vendors who expressed interests or hand them to select retailers in obscure places, that cannot or will not be offering the limited edition, and just a standard edition, so they have a "perk" to move regular copies of games, since the original program got "scrapped" konami probably just wrote off the ps3 real steelbooks, and placed in fresh orders for the stickerbooks for these jumbo boxes, and recouped there losses by the original ps3 steelbook run by switching over to stickerbooks...techinically speaking there still made of steel,..just a decal on top of it,..so konami can still claim there "books of steel" so a "steelbook"...of the 4,000 run,..(we all know it's more like 400,000.)..us 10 or 20 people on these forums complaining is not gonna matter..in fact majority of the people won't care either way,..they'll rip that box right open, wear, wash and launder the shirt, play the game, bang up the stickerbook, and then trade it in..were a small minority of collectors...a dozen e-mails of complaints vs. 10,000 satisfied customers,..konami/zavvi/eb could care less.

oh, one more thing..especially if those concerned voices are originating from outside of Europe or Australia..the rest of the world are'nt techinically suppose to even have it,..so if your complaining to them from US, or Brazil or Canada, or what have you..they'd just laugh it off.
