Grrrrr

*Off to order more copies of the dark souls steel

I think 20 or so should net me a single mint copy right?

They better not screw it up

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.
