Starting a steelbook collection

[scottcross]

I'm looking to start a steelbook collection and just looking for some quick advice on possibly a few cheap or easy titles I could get my hands on to start me off.

Any help much appreciated :v:

Which platforms are you collecting them for? :)

[scottcross]

PS3 and XBOX 360 mainly

[Mike1888]

Well I collect for just Playstation and one of my first few steelbooks was Turok (nice and cheap). Also you can nab the SBK 12 and Assassins Creed steelbooks brand new right now for cheap. Other cheap ones could be Cars 2, MvC, Jericho, AvP etc.

ebay.co.uk auctions I'd say.

[Rashmeet]

That and amazon.co.uk used listings. Couple of them real cheap, got pictures on demand too.

On that Note, how rare is DBZ Raging Blast steelbook? I can get like 10-20 of them at a good price

[Mike1888]

Pretty rare I'd say. How much can you get them for exactly?

[Rashmeet]

Less than 40 euros

Blu-Ray or Dvd? Which region?

There's a dedicated SteelBook collectors forum called www.steelbookhunterz.com (http://www.steelbookhunterz.com), but it's currently down for maintenance as I believe they are changing the forum host and software. Hopefully it will be back up soon


EDIT: I've just read the comments above and see that you're interested in console game SteelBooks. I also notice that you're Welsh, so that answers my other question - I presume you'd be looking for UK releases?

If I could offer any advice, it's probably this: The X360 has significantly more SteelBooks available for it than the PS3, obviously due to the fact that the PS3 was late being released, and it took about a year for it to take off and therefore there aren't many early SteelBooks for it. In comparison, the Xbox had already had a few dozen, mostly exclusives

the steelbook dbz's for xbox are quite common ps3 is alot rarer

[Rashmeet]

Cool, didn't know. Still, if anyone needs it for the 360, message me :)

[scottcross]

Not to worried about uk releases as I'd even like foreign steelbooks, not so bothered about playing them just like a nice collection, I ordered my first cheap one today, brothers in arms hells highway for ps3, nothing special just one to start me off

Some more steelbook titles that won't burn a hole in your pocket are:

Far Cry 2
Quantum of Solace CE
Killzone 2 LE
MAG

Cheers will look into them as soon as my next payday arrives lol
