Do you open up your Blu-ray SteelBooks™?

[blacktrinary]

I pretty much open mine. Only a few I haven't get to it. Once I get in the mood of watching them I will open them. One exception. I just pre-ordered Snow White steelbook and I have the amaray version so I probably will keep that sealed.

[ScarredLungs]

Yes. I open and watch every movie I buy.

[paulboland]

I open every steebook I purchase
I buy digibook/steelbooks/standard Blu-ray with slipcover and box sets


I buy because I like the film very important
I like steelbooks artwork and can look better in most cases than other formats but the content difference is important to me

I buy to watch the film
I double dip on a title sometimes as in a box set or digibook version of the same film as well as the stellbook and on odd occasion buy another steelbook if it has artwork I like that's different than another steelbook I have of same film but that's rare

I keep them in polybags for protection but I open all when I get them
I don't see any point of spending money to keep sealed never opened as I don't sell or trade any of my collection

I buy to enjoy all of the steelbook inside and out and most of my films I buy now are steelbooks so I will only have one version to watch most of the time

Most important factor in deciding if I buy a steelbook or a box set or digibook is the content as in extras
The one to me that's good that will be the one I go for but sometimes I also buy both if the steelbook has artwork and finish I like especially with a film I like a lot

[TheCollector86]

I never open my steelbooks or limited/collector's editions and NEVER will ...when I want to watch the movies I buy the amaray release for cheap money

[Towser]

I usually leave mine sealed opening the odd one now and again if its a duplicate

Of course i open them, whats the point to have sealed steelbooks? Unless i had plans to resell, which i would never do because each steel i have obtained has it's own story and i love each and every one.

[Packerfan75]

I'll have to keep opening them, until I find another way to get the disc out.

[wvuwhat]

I usually open them. There are a select few I still keep sealed though.

[Ronnie67]

I had the tendency to leave mine sealed but have recently started to open them but I'll leave my Play.com Iron Man 1 & 2 sealed.

So you NEVER will know whether they are mint...or not.

[Icemouth]

Yes. They're movies. I can't watch a movie through plastic.

[Rob Hunter]

course i open them..

[Optimus]

Yes of course lol

[Rich65]

I open all of mine but I am very careful.

[L.J.]

I open all of mine. Do take a little extra care with them but you know I bought them to watch. Some I have taken apart to put artwork of my choosing on the inside of the case.

[renero79]

I buy all steelbook interested and opened the better edition for me. The others trade or sell.

[quickdraw]

Always.

[YoreLore]

I open every single one as I buy films to watch not to stare at on a shelf. Steelbooks look great, but they look better when unsealed. I find it embarrassing when people say they buy other copies to watch. All personal opinion of course.

[bigwednesday]

I open all my steels. I only buy a steelbook if I want to watch the movie.

[ghost1914]

I open mine. I personally can't see myself spending a lot on multiple copies to keep a steel sealed unless the person plans on selling it later. I buy movies to watch them not to sit on shelves.
