[quote name='hazzmos']This is how I read the change:
Original Ultimate Edition - HD collection steelbook, MGS4, MGS1 PSN D/L, 5 Art Cards
New Ultimate Edition (Called Limited) - HD collection steelbook, MGS T-shirt, 250 page artbook, MGS4(if you pre-ordered originally)
The part I'm most confused about is how many they were producing originally vs. how many they are producing now (8k PS3, 5k Xbox)[/QUOTE]
I believe that's how most people read it, but there's a mess up on Konami and Zavvi's original agreement...
Original Ultimate Edition - HD collection steelbook, MGS4, MGS1 PSN D/L, 5 Art Cards
Does not exist anymore... This version has scrapped the MGS1 PSN D/L and 5 art cards. The content is now same as the new pre-order, but with platinum copy of MGS 4 and exclusive outer box to avoid confusion (word for word from Zavvi's e-mail).
New Ultimate Edition (Called Limited) - HD collection steelbook, MGS T-shirt, 250 page artbook, MGS4(if you pre-ordered originally)
No, not the same as you pre-order originally. This is the new one, which you can pre-order now. The contents are listed as it is on the site. This is virtually the same version as the original pre-order. Just that the original pre-orders are now boxed with a different outer box and a copy of MGS 4 platinum.
The part I'm most confused about is how many they were producing originally vs. how many they are producing now (8k PS3, 5k Xbox)
Original pre-order stated there are 4000 copies (both PS3 and xbox, so fair to assume 2000 each)... So the new numbers can either be inclusive or exclusive. If including the original number, then the current pre-order are really a max of 6k PS3 amd 3K Xobx. If not, total of 8K and 5K still stands.
