To many steelbook variants

[ingmar1988]

So, i got recently into steelbook collecting, although i prefer g2 sized ps3 branded steelbooks, i pretty much collect them all.

One frustration though is the amount of steelbooks available.

Lets start with the futureshop steelbooks, they have now steelbooks for pretty much every big game, exclusive to them. They also suck by putting barcode on them and not sealing them, and also not offering international shipping. This inflates prices on ebay, asking for a steelbook only almost the price of the full game.

Lets take medal of honor for example, this game allready has 3 different steelbooks.

-Futureshop
- Polish steelbook
- Steelbook on shopto and other sites (this is the 'regular' one i think).

Wanting these steelbooks, will allready cost you about 120 euro.

And besides that, every game seems to have at least one steelbook edition now a days.

they are becoming more and more popular. have to agree, futureshop has nice steels but unless your from there ya getting hammered for prices

[JammedFlipper]

I'm starting to get on the steelbook collecting also and am sticking with only G2 size. Since I am from Canada, I am lucky enough to get the FS steels.

I will be getting the MoH steel soon, and as it will be G1, I will likely want to trade it off for a G2.. hint hint lol

Is there anywhere I could look to see what G2 steels are even out there? I would only be wanting to see games, not movies.

There are a few lists about - I'll try and find a latets one and send it to you

Course it's alwyas changing...

Take ACIII...

We now have:
ACIII US pre-order steel G1 (also found in Freedom editions)
UK HMV exclusive G1
Futureshop G1
PS Vita G1 and so it goes on....

:suicide:

[vhal_x]

There's no steelbook in the Join or Die edition, the US preorder steelbook is inside the Freedom Edition, not Join or Die xx

[Redmagster]

Oops!! My bad - getting carried away there! It's medallions all the way in JOD! ;)

Thanks Vhal x

yeah I pretty much gave up on building my SteelBook collection. I WAS collecting all North American releases until Futureshop decided to start releasing all kinds of exclusives and not shipping "internationally"

The real kick in the balls is that I'm a 2 hour drive to the border and a 3 hour drive to the nearest Futureshop... and those jerks still wont ship to me. :(

[SBCollectorAl]

I am frustrated, too.

The problem is that most steelbook are exclusive to specific countries and it is nearly impossible to get them all if you just have started with collecting.

I started collecting videogamesteelbooks in march and still I got only 40 till 50 steelbooks and I have invested between 1500 - 2000 euro, because a lot of them were in terrible condition when I got them from ebayseller that's why I was looking for a forums like that.

[Madigan]

I'm happy with this trend, and if it's exclusive to a country, better, that makes it more "limited" than a worldwide release.

I know for many games there are numerous steelbooks, just look at Arkham City, it had six (or more). For games that I have, I'd like to get at least one or maybe two steelbooks depending on the artwork and price.

WTF arkham city has 6 or more steelbooks? There's only 5 as far as I know.

Sorry dude, my bad. Miscounted. :suicide:

I know of:

Joker
Penguin
Catwoman
Two Face
Riddler

Somehow I thought I had seen other ones as well.

[Redmagster]

IWhere was the Riddled one released?!? Never seen that at all...

There is a Catwoman stickerbook.as well as a steekbook. Think the stickerbook was Italy?

[vhal_x]

There is no Riddler steel :S There's Penguin, Catwoman, Two Face, Joker and Catwoman Stickerbook xx

[kennyrh]

Just going off on a tangent - but still on steelbooks, I'm a big fan of Bluray steelies. I thought the number of releases in the UK was just about perfect for collectors . . .but now it seems they're gonna saturate the market by producing scores for older film re-issues.

Why can't they just leave well alone and bring out one a week for the current releases and leave it at that :banghead:

All it's gonna do is devalue the collections of current enthusiasts because every bloody film will have a steelbook variant before long . . .:rant:

[Lemur]

There is no Riddler steel :S There's Penguin, Catwoman, Two Face, Joker and Catwoman Stickerbook xx

Yeah just like the woman said. :wave:

The catwoman stickerbook is from Spain :v:
