What's on the outside doesn't matter to me.

It's a matter of how good (I think) the piece of plastic on the inside is.

Police??? I'm not arresting anyone. I just figured that since the exact same conversation was happening in another thread that it would be nice to direct people to the existing conversation to offer their opinions and input.

Think of me more like a "forum guide" in this case. Forum police would have come in, stopped the fun altogether, and arrested (suspended) all involved.

I still buy them regardless if I'm into the film that much.

Take recent 'Dark Knight Rises'. I bought the trilogy boxset (still sealed), HMV steelbook (still sealed) and the standard amaray (to watch).

I'm demented like that.

EDIT : I never went for the cowl due to it being a tacky over-priced, dust collecting piece of shit, but that 'Target' exclusive digibook looks inviting.

Has American Psycho even come out on Blu Ray?

To answer the question no, if it's an old film like say Die Hard then it's not going to cost a lot to pick it up and should a week later a steelbook version be announced then so be it I wont have wasted a lot

Not in the UK, but there are a fair few other countries that have it.
