gurpswoo the steelbook collectors (me included) do NOT like the stickerbook effect to say the least just cheapens the feel of them... and althought its a STEELBOOK inside... as you stated because it is printed on the front... just not as nice. personal view and i think the view of alot of other steelbook collectors!

It doesn't matter who it's made by, but if it's a Steelbook with stickers on the front and rear.... it's a stickerbook.

Source code is a 100% stickerbook, not a proper Steelbook. But is made by Steelbook.com

Are you saying that the steelbook community refuse to accept these types as an official steelbook.

Are we expecting all new steelbooks to be like this in the future?

Ah I see, so this is purely a personal view of many collectors's and not a official change in designation. For a moment I was getting worried we were going to have change some games in the database.

Yeah I agree the quality of these newer designs are terrible, the dead island one I got was really cheaply made. It also looks to be a becoming common for new releases.

I can't stand them personally but each to there own, you can pick up plain steelbooks quite cheap from amazon, and it's not hard to get a vinyl print to stick on them! you have your own stickerbook for any discs you would like to put in them,

Example : This saints row stickerbook, I could purchase say a pack of 6 plain steelbooks, get the stickers made...slap them on the front and sell them, nobody would have a clue they wasn't "genuine" release.

Stickerbooks are very uncommon tbh but atm It tends to be the free promo steelbooks that are these stickerbooks, and not genuine releases.

Maybe the shops selling these stickerbooks are actually making them themselves??

I'm pretty certain there's never been an official release with a CE that contains a stickerbook rather than a Steelbook.

The only stickerbooks that pop to mind are :

Saints row
Uncharted collection
Dead island.

Think that's about it tbh!

That's a very good point, does Scanavo have a public list of steelbooks they have made.

Deus Ex's from Spain
SBK
Vanquish
Assassins Creed 2
Black Ops
Star Wars Force Unleashed 2 (NL)
GT5 (NL)
Mortal Kombat (fr)

to name some more. Dead Island is probably the ugliest though.
