You psychic or something?

But if you do ever see the xbox version as a steelbook on your "web-travels", let me know.

Amazon has it for $40. Not sure if it's region locked.

It's listed as NTSC on the spine, so yeah, its region locked. Now, that isn't a problem since I have the UK amaray version and can just swap out the discs. The only reall issue(s) are the following:

It is not listed as a steelbook. If Amazon UK is anything to go by, then what is in the picture isn't always what you get.
Import costs are a pain in the a$$ aswell.

From the picture it looks like a steelbook. The PS3 version doesn't list it as a steelbook either.

Too bad I'm going to be out of town for a while, otherwise I'd get it for you.

I'm almost positive that the Ultimate Sith Edition was only released as a Steelbook for both PS3 and X360.

Not in the UK. We got shafted for about the millionth time.

The UK is possibly getting The Force Unleashed 2 Collectors Edition that has been announced for the USA, but this link is pretty vague. Nothing yet about the Collectors edition on Amazon UK, GAME, HMV UK, PlayUK or Gamestation though.

I hope we do get it.

Just got my Crackdown 2 steelbook. No interior artwork and it has printed info and ratings.

Matte finish.

How does it look? I was thinking of asking a UK forum user to pre-order a copy of Crackdown 2 for me, but $70 seemed a little steep for what looked like a fairly cheap steelbook (the game wouldn't work on my console anyway). I might try to get off eBay one day if it ever becomes available for a reasonable price...

To be honest, I've seen better.

Like I said earlier, (it's not easy to tell from my cr*ppy picture quality, sorry) it's a matte finish so it won't shine like that Metal Gear Solid that thekingpin22uk posted above this post.

tribalnoise · 07-09-2010, 11:35 PM

mgs is matte finish. just sayin

Crysis 2 special edition has been touted as a Steelbook - not confirmed yet, but worth keeping an eye on. Seems likely considering Crysis 1 special edition was a Steelbook.

Nice find, i hope that "normal" Collector's Edition" includes SteelBook also. I don't wan't that backpack, figure, etc. just SteelBook.

I just searched Kotaku for additional SteelBooks and found something: Warhammer Online (Russian).

Has anyone seen this?

Kyot · 07-13-2010, 03:38 PM

does anyone know where you can still buy Killzone 2 Steelbooks New? Or does anyone have an extra one?
