Your first Video Game Steelbook? - Blu-ray Forum

Avidlookertash · 11-09-2011, 04:09 PM

This thread is to say what your first video game steelbook was.

Mine came in a game lot I purchased on ebay and it was Turning Point Fall of Liberty (U.S.) and the rest is history lmao.

Final Fantasy XII

vidjunkie · 11-09-2011, 04:29 PM

I think mine was Resident Evil 5

boxterduke · 11-09-2011, 04:35 PM

Mine was Batman Arkham City.
A couple of years ago, when I started collecting Steelbooks and we had that crazy holiday 2009 Disney steelbook releases, I decided I would'nt go into Game Steelbooks since it will get really expensive.
So yeah my first was Batman Arkham City since they handed me one when I bought the game and FS.
My second was Uncharted 3 since I bought the CE.

Edit Nov 15, 2011: I just remembered, my first even was Halo 2 for xbox 1. I never remembered it since I already sold that console and all the games back in the day.

sk33tr · 11-11-2011, 01:09 AM

my first (and only, so far) is uncharted 3 collector's edition.

shinseiRomeo · 11-11-2011, 01:29 AM

I'd have to say Halo 2. I don't recall any before that.

Chris93ny · 11-11-2011, 02:34 AM

Halo 2 isn't a steelbook

RoleheN · 11-11-2011, 03:04 AM

My first one was Bioshock (X360) three years ago, now i have around 40 steelbooks and few metal case games (in addition to others collector's editions.)

I started collecting games (x360 only) and now i will continue with Blu-ray (I have a few for now, but I hope that the collection grows) althought is a expensive hobby compared to the regular versions.

SethRex · 11-11-2011, 04:19 AM

I think my first video game steelbook was Devil May Cry 4 for X-box 360.

Steelbook is a brand. Just because the case is metal doesn't qualify it as a Steelbook. Take a look at how short the spine is. I'm not sure when Scanavo started making Steelbooks but this one came out in 2004.

Ashamed Pegasus pretty much answered your question. I had the same problem when I first started collecting steelbooks. I thought any that were slim and metal were steelbooks. Had enough sense to know the large tins were just tins lol but eventually a member here showed me the light >.< that was after I had purchased Perfect Dark or whatever. To further answer your question with a good hint. All (as far as I have seen) official steelbooks will have the "Steelbook" brand logo on the inside of the case, printed usually on the plastic interior. I have learned that when buying steelbooks on ebay to always check the master list to make sure it's on there, if it isn't than it's a newer steelbook not yet mentioned in the forums or it's not a steelbook at all. Had to double check a Medal of Honor tin recently because the seller listed it as a "steelbook".

arkham city then uncharted 3

Blu-Benny · 11-11-2011, 09:40 PM

The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition

I called around the city I live in and found 1 copy @ 1 gamestop…..had them hold for me until the next day.

i had no idea it was a steelbook until I went in and picked it up.

Menouthis · 11-11-2011, 11:15 PM

Depends. My first time was with Soul Calibur 4. But it's not until Devil May Cry 4 (US version) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (JPN version) that I considered the idea of collecting more.
