Gemini-Phoenix:
Which version of this title does this refer to? There were three editions of this title released: 1) Standard edition; 2) Steelbook edition; 3) Collector’s edition gift set with Big Daddy figure as well as the Steelbook edition
Gemini-Phoenix:
May require visual confirmation. All the editions of this game I have seen have not had a plastic slipcover, although my sources are not exactly 100% as I have only ever seen pre-owned copies of the SteelBook on its own, and only own the box set myself, so can't verify this information.
Icek:
Full Title: BioShock
System: PS3
Region: PAL
Bar Code:
Release Date: October 17 2008 (EU)
Release Price (RRP/MSRP):
Content Rating: PEGI 18+
Other info (description/exclusivity/etc.):
The only real difference from regular edition is the cardboard outer sleeve that shines with rainbow colors when looked from different sides.
Mandingo:
I have this edition. Are cardboard sleeves worth anything?
Icek:
Probably not, they are just cool looking. The only one I know worth something is O Ring for FFXIII.

These cardboard slip case versions are first release editions. They come sealed with the PS3 tear strip. It's important to know that these were only made for the first or maybe even the second production, however after a reprint they remove the cardboard case to save cost.
They will be sort after as they are somewhat limited, while not restricted in numbers like limited edition games, they will command a premium over the second print release because it's a first edition. 10-30% depending on demand.
Not all slip case edition came sealed, all of the HMV ones did not for example.
As it not a limited edition release it’s debatable whether it should be in the database, guess that’s up to Twisted.

The SteelBook edition of Bioshock is exactly like the regular edition except it comes in a SteelBook case with a plastic slip cover.... View this article on the HomePage.
