    There usually the same ie; identical.
    But a cool art design is a must factor.

    Latest acquisition.
    End Of Watch' ( embossed steelbook) New sealed 8.99.
    A great film deserves great packaging.
     
  4. So this is the fancy name for those tin DVD/BD cases? I have a couple of them, both for Sam Dunn music doc's oddly enough: Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage and Metal Evolution.

    Think they were called tin edition at one time, morphed into steelbooks. Popular in europa. UK's avforum has a big fetish for them. I'm very select myself..but i snap them up as soon as they come out, due to limited availability. All depends on the artdesign. I collect blu ray steelbooks.
    Some look stunning like Oblivion for example.

  19. I love steelbook BDs.

    A great recent one I got is the Phantom Of The Paradise UK steel. Just beautiful!

    And in case anyone is about to respond that they wish they had it but can't play UK discs...get it together!

    There is absolutely no reason to let video companies decide what you can and cannot watch.

    Multiregion players and very cheap and you will not be kept from enjoying your favourite movies.

    Yeah! Addictive.
    Reminds of collecting Japan Obi replica CDs from 10 years ago. Although with steelbooks i find only one good BDS title appears every month.

    Picked up the remastered Fargo today on Steelbook. I see from various forums that a lot of people don't like the artwork. I think it's rather (Minnesota) nice myself.

    I have a couple of steelbooks, but not by choice, picked them up in a sale when they were going cheap. I don't understand their appeal; the film in basic packaging is enough for me.
