Do you guys use your steelbooks? I really want to use mine I got for AC3 at best buy but I don't want to scratch it and it sort of bothers me that I have 2 cases for the same game especially when one is just sitting there empty. Also, it's a pain to get the disc out of the holder, I always feel like I'm going to crack the inner ring if the disc

If you don't want to keep it, you can eBay it for $15-20.

Well I do want to keep it, and I've never sold anything on eBay before. I don't understand how to figure out the shipping costs lol. I've tried selling stuff on eBay before and nobody ever bids on it and I always check what other ppl are selling the item for. I figure its because I have 0 ratings

I have lots of Steelbooks and I don't use them to store the games in them. I just buy them for collection purposes, I'm a sucker for Steelbooks. Also some of the Steelbooks is a b!tch to remove the game out when you try to push the middle plastic that holds it, don't want to risk breaking it.

What do you use to store the games that only come with steelbooks?

I have some blank PS3/360 cases that I use.

I have a ton of steelbooks and I actually use them. I'm not a collector that keeps things sealed or plan to resell anything years from now. If that ever changes, I'll just be clear about the conditions they are in. It is harder to remove the discs, but I've never had that much trouble with them.

Great tip depending on the type of Steelbook you are having trouble taking disc out feeling like it will break: Use fingernail clippers on the little plastic nubs protruding. For some reason the spindle in steelbooks have them I noticed. After I clipped those, it snaps in/out fine no worries of it being too lose or tight.

If the game comes separate from the steelbook, maybe just strip the case down as a backup for some other game, while keeping the manual with steelbook.

ive never bought anything from zavvi before, but ive just placed an order for the metal gear rising. should i expect the box to be worn out when I receive it? i live in the US.

Heh you never saw the old zavvi MGS HD LE thread did you? Some soul crushing pics there.
Honestly I know they said they were trying to improve but I haven't ordered from them since and I was also lucky that mine arrived in decent condition.
This probably wasn't much help to you though, lol

boooo... damn...

it wasnt zavvis fault though was it? its the carriers fault?

its still a gamble though ughhh

It was the fault of whoever runs Zavvi's online fulfillment centers (I'm betting it's contracted out). They were packaged like ass. I ordered three copies of it just to ensure one arrived ok (and just one did). The main problem is the cardboard shipping boxes they used were thin and very malleable so they didn't hold up to normal international shipping bumps & bruises.

I'm also keeping an eye out for a UK pre-order of Injustice. I'm hoping it pops up on Amazon UK now that they ship to the US on some items.

Make sure you guys select gift wrap as extra protection.

I'm one of the ones who bought the MGS Collection from Zavvi. The box came completely wrecked. Ended up throwing it out. The items inside the box were fine though.

I preordered the Zavvi edition of Revengence, but might stick with getting the US edition instead. All I really want is a steelbook with the game.

As for the UK edition of Injustice, it's so much better than the US edition. I've been keeping my eyes peeled for that to pop up somewhere.

Finally got my ACIII Ubiworkshop Edition today. Unfortunately, they sent me the PS3 game instead of the X360 one. Back to chatting with CS.

I'd recommend not ordering from them in the future. Not worth the hassle.

Ouch, that has got to suck.

On a related note, did anyone get the bundle with the shoes? http://shop.ubi.com/store?SiteID=ubi...emeID=29282800

Are you asking if anyone pre-ordered it or if anyone actually received the bundle? Cause that deal is exclusively for PC and aren't being released till November 20th.

This is the first time I'm hearing about this bundle though. I'm not a PC gamer but my interested was piqued when I read that these were a pair of RG3/Rock the Vote inspired Adidas. Still don't think that warrants a $100+ price tag for the shoes though.

Damn, that Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch – Wizard’s Edition looks sexy af.
Sold out apparently :C

Oh oops, I didn't even notice the release date, I thought it was already out. I barely ran across it the other day as well and I was surprised I had never heard of it either. I was wondering if anyone here had actually preordered it.
