What sort of SteelBook™ collector are you? - Blu-ray Forum

Kynch · 03-05-2009, 10:09 PM

I just wonder what people do with their SteelBooks and what they mean to them.

Like the poll question says, select an answer between 1 and 4 as well as one between 5 and 7.

i own 5 steelbooks only because it's the only edition they did for the movie i wanted.
End Of.

I only buy the ones I'm interested in and I open all of them as the reason I bought them is to watch them afterall.

For now, I try to get as many of the Steelbooks I can. However I am beginning to see that the habit is getting out of hand financially-LOL So I am going to become a bit more particular with which ones I buy. I also open the movies I like (and feel less guilty about doing so since purchasing the plastic baggies for them) and will keep the ones I think might increase in value in the future, sealed, or try to by 2 of them if money allows me to, one to open, one to keep sealed. Cool poll by the way Kynch!

I will buy any Blu-ray SteelBooks that are either in English or have English subtitles regardless or region. However, I will only open those SteelBooks for movies that I have not seen.

Just curious, why would the lack of English audio or subtitles or a region code be a no-go if the steels will be kept sealed anyway? I mean who will ever notice it?

Let me start off by saying I love my Steelbooks!

I open my Steelbooks as I watch them, yes I know they look awesome sealed, but I buy movies so I can watch and enjoy them with my family!

In my opinion I don't think they'll be worth much down the road, just like VHS or even DVD's are not really worth anything anymore. And yes I know some guy out there is trying to sale his John Rambo for 499.99 EUR's "but he's just crazy"

Bottom line, I love collecting Steelbook to watch them and the HUNT in trying to find them!

DIRTY.
