the steel case

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 9:55 am

did anyone get http://cklu.ca/other/steelskyrim.jpg, and if so, how?

my reason for asking:
i went to futureshop to buy the game friday morning and there were piles of these cases all over the place- i had no idea what they were, but they looked awesome
and when i went to check out, the girl at the counter gave the guy in front of me a case to go along with his game
at this point i was assuming it was some kind of 'do you want to pay fifteen extra bucks for a case' or a preorder thing
so i when i got to the counter i asked the girl why the guy got a case, and she said
'were giving them out to the first howevermany customers, but that was my last one. sorry'
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!????

so im an idiot and i said oh whatever thats fine and i left
drove to the grocery store for snacks, the whole time thinking if id gotten to futureshop one minute earlier i wouldve gotten a kick ass steel case for free




then i went back to futureshop and said give me a steel case and they did and its pretty cool

so were they doing this everywhere?
does everyone have a steel case from the midnight release or early next-morning sales?
how come i didnt hear about this ahead of time? why wasnt it in the collectors edition?

yeah i pre-ordered mine on the 10th in Ottawa at futureshop, picked it up the next day, and was the first in line at my store and the first one to buy my copy lol. So proud :P anyway if you pre-ordered you were allowed one steelbook case, but otherwise you werent given one. I was also given the hardcover collectors edition guide since i was the first one in the store. Sweeeeetness. Not braggin'. Just... very proud of my timing to get there lol.

i agree the collecors edition should have had a steel case or even better, SOUNDTRACK since we paid so much for it, but still im not complaining. I have the game, and a great leather-bound artbook to enjoy. The statue, meh. Its not a bad addition.

yes id love a copy of the art book, and so far the music is outstanding
not sure why the mp3s arent accessible like morrowind and oblivion...?

first in the store is impressive
i was pretty mad at myself when i thought id missed out on a steel case just because i slept in a few extra minutes
i also found out futureshop opened at 6am instead of the midnight release
dont think i couldve been first in the store at 6... but id love to know who was!
