Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance gets 2 Steelbooks in the UK

[Mavrick]

Konami has revealed the European Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance Limited Edition and pre-order bonuses.

The Limited Edition version of the PS3 and Xbox 360 game will feature a 30cm figurine of cyborg agent Raiden, plus a DLC code to access the White Armour in-game, which gives players an increased capacity to carry life-recovery items.

25,000 Limited Edition units will be released in Europe priced at €99.95 (£81). It's available exclusively at Zavvi in the UK.

Konami also announced two pre-order incentives in the form of a choice of steelbook covers and unique DLC. The first features a Raiden illustration by character concept artist Yoji Shinkawa, and unlocks the Inferno Armour DLC, which increases the number of throwing weapons Raiden can carry. It's exclusively available with GAME pre-orders.

The second steelbook edition features a render of Raiden and a DLC code for the character's Commando Armour, which lets him access an increased number of projectile weapons. It's available through pre-orders placed at independent stores.

I had an email from game co uk telling me this item is sold out, but only when I contacted them to ask if they shipped the steelbook to Ireland. Rather sneakily, they have not updated their website to reflect this.
So you can still order, or think you are ordering the Bonus version with the cool steelbook, but in fact you won't get one.
What's disturbing is they have not said how long it's been sold out, so I imagine they have taken loads of orders for the "bonus" edition...but there will be a lot of very angry and disappointed people out there when their packages arrive without the steelbook.

"...Thank you for your email.

Buyer beware!!
