Do you open up your Blu-ray SteelBooks™? - Page 4 - Blu-ray Forum

movieking · 10-21-2009, 11:11 AM

Most are unopended, but it is more of a lack of time to watch rather than anything else. I'll eventually go through them all and watch them.

I now have a total of 4 SteelBooks, and I opened them to inspect it, and to see if it plays on my PS3.

I have 3 more coming my way and I plan on doing the same.

Since I have the US versions, I might sell them since I think it's a waste to have 2 movies, but then again I'd rather not open my SB and keep them as display and use my US version as the watched BD.

Come on over, there is plenty of room over here on the dark side

I usually open them (since I'm not a serious collector) however if I have another "standard" copy I'll keep it sealed.

So far I have I Am Legend, Ironman, The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Watchmen, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (sealed), Sleeping Beauty (sealed), Pinocchio (sealed) and Transformers Revenge of the Fallen (sealed) all from Futureshop...

I was thinking that (I have the amrays of A Bugs life, Cars, and the three pirates movies) but these new Disney movies have such amazing artwork inside. I would feel bad for leaving them sealed

paulsandhu · 10-23-2009, 05:08 PM

I buy them to watch them. The steel is just so that they look cooler in my cooler in my collection.

You see, the thing about this is that steels look cool both ways

sealed, it keeps its integrity and looking untouched...

Now, when naked, wow, you can inspect it, smell it, feel it, open it, and you know....put it inside.....

a bluray player!!!

In other words, like me, I buy two, one to admire, one to put my fingers all over!!!

I wouldn't want to be sitting next to you when you "de-virginize" a sealed steelie!
Or maybe I would!

"When you look at the dark side, careful you must be. For the dark side looks back." [Very true! Those dark side members are always watching!]

"Try not. Do or do not, there is no try."

"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the light, the future is" [or the inside of a SteelBook].

"Once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will" [just ask those two that are already with the darkside].

"Fear [and that bad feeling of leaving them sealed] is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

"Always two there are, a master and an apprentice." [LOL! Which one of the two is the master vs. the apprentice is still up for debate though.]

Avoid the dark side, you must!

nycomet · 10-23-2009, 06:53 PM

That's me and Crash gearing up for another sword fight after he opened up my Crepúsculo.

I can say that after some of the things I have learned/seen in the last couple of days, I fear that THE ONE who thought he was the master may have to return to the school of OCD to learn the true nature of the dark side
