Thanks for the info. It sounds legit, but I wasn't aware that there was a SteelBook manager in China. With all the Iron Paks coming out from China, I would doubly make sure that this is genuine SteelBook packaging from Scanavo and not imitation Iron Pak or Metal Pak casing.

I personally do not care about steelbooks,

they may be fancy, but they have more disadvantages than advantages,

they dent, they scratch, they print wears off, rust?, a reason for companies to overprice their product, and it mismatches the rest of the collection

and the few advantages would be that it is a greener choice than plastic, although it contains plastic components itself, its looks fancy.

I see steelbook as a hyped but useless product.

I've personally never heard of the print on a Steelbook wearing off or rusting, has this ever happened to you? Sure, they can scratch and dent, but if you are gentle with them, this does not happen (you should never put two together or they will rub against each other and scratch). A Steelbook is a physical collectible item in limited quantity that can last forever. Blu-rays will not last forever, but these collectible cases will always remain of some value, especially to movie fans and collectors. It not only looks fancy, but if you've ever seen one in person, it is a lot more beautiful than the standard Blu-ray case, almost like a piece of artwork. It is hyped, but only with good reason.

I would definitely buy; however, it would depend on the movie.
