I'm taking this as good news - the only thing now is the barcode...we need someone who wasn't in the 4K club to confirm the barcode & contents - then the only thing that might happen (but very unlikely) is that it's a mixed bag (russian roulette - extremely unlikely)

I can only assume zavvi staff are stupid or everything after 4K is stickerbook!?

How about this theory. The 4000 original steelbook packages have been kept in a separate part of the warehouse and they've been sent out to the original 4000 orders.

The stickerbook versions are now being dispatched to the sad saps that were too slow the first time round.

I pray to Miyamoto that i'm wrong.

I still think my initial thoughts are going to work out - They had already comissioned the 4K 'real' steelbooks and price-wise it was little difference to make more real ones than have a whole load of PS3 stickerbooks made to a new design.
The reason X360 is all stickerbook is because it's one design - it was never a 'real' steelie. This is the best case for everyone really, well not X360 owners - I just mean for a collector they might be compelled to get both PS3 versions if one was a sticker.

I just think the biggest clue is that we still have never seen a PS3 sticker yet we've known X360 was a stciker for ~1 week now!

yeh, by variant they could have meant some will get one type and others will get another type. Easy for them to deal with complaints that way

still waiting for confirmation though

BTW, they have double confirmed on facebook that it's a stickerbook for PS3 - adds weight to the 4K theory

I think when they say 'variant', they're referring to the fact that the steelbook casing will contain different artwork when compared to the standard edition of the game (ie. variant artwork). It has nothing to do with the steelbook being a stickerbook.

I thought they canceled the 4k editions and that all MGS HD would not be numbered.

yes, the question is if there are now 4K real steelbooks & the rest stickers
