Yes, after initial resistance I've come round to them. The four I have are very nice. I just keep them seperate from my steelbooks, though

Are steelbooks simply more popular in the UK? I only ever see ones that have custom art and are included with collectors edition or as a pre-order bonus. Never have I seen the standard box art on a steelbook over here...

I'm not sure I understand the question Sean. What do you mean by "standard box art on a steelbook" ??

Meaning the steelbook art is the same as the standard game. After watching your video, those do seem to be the minority, however.

Okay, just looking through I don't think there are any where the steelbook art is identical to the standard box. Even the nasty "stickerbook" I mentioned is different to the ordinary box art as far as I can recall.

As for steelbook collecting being more popular in the UK, it's difficult for me to judge because I'm not in contact with any American steelbook enthusiasts. If i were to guess, I'd say probably - but maybe someone can shoot me down on that one.
