I'm pretty sure that they'll end up being stickerbooks... Which sucks xx

What exactly has been falsely advertised? A stickerbook is a variant of a steelbook,its just none of us put much thought into it until recently.

I had thought variant steelbook would just be a steelbook with a different design to the one shown.


I'm not sticking up for Zavvi though,i think they're well dodgy,but I dont think we have any sort of legal claim unfortunately.

well no, because on 8th Dec zavvi told us (or led us to believe - whatever you prefer) that they were NOT STICKERBOOKS - hence no need to think about it, until a day or 2 ago when a video surfaces of a stickerbook. We even had (a few days prior to the video) people posting pics of a real steelbook so to be honest it seemed a cert:

cust asks 'hhmm tha looks like a stickbook'
zavvi say 'informed it's not stickerbook'
4/5 days ago pic of real steelbook confirm what's already been said
2 days ago video shows X360 is a stickerbook
today it's (apparently) confirmed PS3 is a stickerbook even tho we see even more real steelbooks surface on the web

so you can see why we've not thought about it - until 2 days ago there was no real reason to as 'we' were 'informed' it wasn't a stickerbook!

And, even though another poster said something along the lines of "but if you preordered the original ultimate edition you should have legal standing" you won't, due to the fact that they have given plenty of notice about the change in the edition, including an email to inform, and info on the Zavvi blog, etc xx

Ignore my last comment. The site updated slowly on my phone,and somebody had already answered that particular question.

Val,you've made an incredible amount of posts for only having joined last august.

MOVE AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD ;-)

Back on topic,i've heard from a reliable* source that the outer box has a small button on it, that when pushed utters the phrase "whats in the box".




*not reliable in the slightest and completely fabricated in all honesty.

Has anyone here who pre-ordered via the original 'limited to 4000' version have their orders shipped yet?
