Metal Gear Solid HD Collection

there's a lot of assumptions here, nothings confirmed until we see a PS3 unboxing - it could be (as suggested by someone else) that UK/zavvi get a stickerbook and the rest of the world get proper steelbook

however...

in a way PS3 getting a 'proper' steelbook makes sense. They would have already set up the manufacturing process for the PS3 size case so to make 2K more (or whatever) is easy...but to make a whole run of a specific DVD design (for the X360) would be quite pricey (vs making a load of stickers) so I guess it's a 2-edged thing, firstly at least X360 users got some love and secondly PS3 owners get a better steelbook (if it being less exclusive)

Is a "sticker book steelcase" officially permitted/acceptable for a publisher to release for their games?

Must a "sticker book" be specifically be mentioned in the description of contents or can they still use "steelbook"??

If not, then it would be false advertising in my view.

i also believe what is going on here, is the original limited edition 4,000 zavvi world exclusive was supposed to be packaged in this steelbook, but they did a last minute change, and the steelbooks were probably already in production, but then when they added the xbox version, they probably did what companies/marketing does, look for the best cost basis analysis and profit for the company, where they said, ok MGS will sell itself, not many people are gonna care or about us cutting a corner here or there, and told the manufacturer for the steelbook, when we do the xbox360, go ahead and switch over to stickerbook, i mean..it does appear to be a quality sticker book, i bet they would of wanted to do the same thing with PS3, but it was too late, and since it was to be sold as an original steelbook package, without an outerbox, they probably figured they'd get a lot of slack for it being a sticker for the original plan.so it's pretty much settled..PS3 WILL BE A STEELBOOK AS ORIGINALLY INTENDED..XBOX 360 WHICH WAS A LATE ADD ON, WILL BE A STICKERBOOK.

stickerbook or not, no inside artwork, very high production release = FAILED

[ferrari100]

Less worried about the inside artwork tbh.

I'm a huge metal gear fan and must have a steelbook and not a stupidly named "steelbook variant" pfft

pre order cancelled lol this has gone from a "wow got my pre order in for a limited edition of 4000" to a "stickerbook in my collection!? no thank you sir!"

Will be £28.95 in a zavvi mega Monday within 3 weeks guaranteed

Stickerbooks are made by Steelbook.com so technically they are genuine "steelbooks" as there manufactured by Steelbook.com

be cheaper to buy a plain Steelbook and print a sticker off your printer though lol

I'm with Fatty on this one, cancelled my Xbox pre-order and kept the PS3 one which I hope will be a proper steelbook.

It wouldn't be nice to make two different steelbooks for the two formats, cut costing only creates negativity towards the company imo.
