Zavvi ship to the states. You guys get different steelbooks from Zavvi compared to what we get though. International customers get the much more common "concave style" steelbooks.

I think it's a crap idea. Just look what has hapened to Bluray movie steelbooks. Once upon a time they were only released for current films and became quite collectable - now every movie and his dog has a steelbook and it's just unsustainable for the average collector with a budget.

If this is just gonna be the odd release then fine but if they're gonna just flood the market then people who already have the game who just happen to like steelbooks are gonna be royally pissed off and die-hard steelbook collectors are just going to see it as a devaluation of the hobby.

It looks like just another attempt to squeeze the last drop out of current gen before the new machines arrive and i can live without it ta very much.

This is why I stopped collecting steelbooks in general, I only buy the ones for my favorite franchises, but I'm glad steelbooks are more common in VG.

I think the dark souls steel will be rare in the future, they pulled it out of nowhere, the hype for that game is dead and nobody cares about it.

I told you once already I'm pretty boring and am just fine with the regular flat steelbooks. Don't really care for the "concave style". They don't have to take the extra effort to send us these.
