Tide turning against steelbook video game collecting?

[Twisted]

i somewhat feel the same as you..i just think the market is being flooded with them, and it starts to lose some of it's luster as something niche, sought after, it used to be "special" to hear about a upcoming steelbook edition, but now it almost to the point where it is not the exception but the norm.....5 years ago, some of my friends used to be "in awe" when i showed them some steelbooks, because it was a rare sight to behold..and steelbooks kinda back then flew under the radar..and now my friends who are gamers are like "who cares" when it comes to steelbook packaging..same ones who used to tell me "wow, those are cool metal cases" when i showed off mine when i first started collecting steelbooks about 5 years ago.
