Forza Motorsport 4 Limited Collector's Edition announced

[gurpswoo1]

I just don't see the fascination of steelbooks compared to a digipak design, especially one as good Forza 3. Yes compared to the boring standard plastic case, it is a considerably improvement. But steelbooks are mostly of the same size and start to become generic, especially when they are used in large volumes as they are now.

Don’t get me wrong, I would get a steelbook version over a normal plastic version, but they are pushing it for a £50+ collector’s Edition. It just looks lazy by the designers, "just get a steelbook made, job done".

Steelbooks should be glossed or lacquered to make it shiny and to mostly protect it during postage, the current design is not suitable for postage like normal plastic cases. Poor design or just making it as cheap as possible, who knows. The result is the same.


Ok rant over.
