I'm not really a steelbook 'collector' as such, but if there's a decent film of decent quality being released in a steel with some nice artwork then I'll tend to jump on it straight away so as not to miss out (if I can justify the price tag). I've also been quite lucky so far in that the ones I have bought haven't decreased much (if at all) in price. |
Actually good point on the limited nature of them , i can see the price reasons behind that. I myself do have a few steelbooks , but just in some cases i do see it is an excuse to make more money out of an already Blu ray released title.
