Default What are the top 10 LEAST desirable/worst steelbooks ever to be released?

Ok guys here it is the worst of the worst.

List all the steelbooks that made you cringe at first sight.

Jumbo steelbooks are not exempt for all you Jumbo steelbook haters out there

Also please, if you want, state why you hate the steelbook and what could be done to make it better.

This thread is for STEELBOOKS only.
Please keep Metal Packs/ Iron Cases out fo this discussion.

Thanks and have fun dissing those uglies.

I'll go first:

1) RocknRolla (Brown colored cover-they could have done better
2) Final Fantasy MM release
3) Dead snow (weird looking cover)
4) Beowulf
5) Golden Compass
6) Shoot 'em Up
7) the Spirit
8) Terminator 2 Amazon.de release (That skull looks like its smiling
9) Sex and the City (Girly and pink)
10) 10,000 BC UK release


There you go.
I know you guys won't agree with some of my choices.

Can't wait to see yours.

And the end I think you guys can choose the ugliest steelbook (by tallying all the results) and see which steelbook is truly the ugliest.

People having that steelbook in their collection will be laughed upon...j/k

Take care

The only bad one I know of would be "10000 BC" UK import, purely because of the movie. I do like the cover though.

1-Body of Lies, German letters take like 40% of the cover
2-Angels & Demons, Bilingual Cover? WTF?
3-Fast & Furious: 1-4 Special Limited Edition Pimp My Box Set Blu-ray SteelBook™, Really?
4-INSERT STICKERBOOK NAME HERE, ...
5_INSERT TF1 NAME HERE, Hardcoded Subs + Region Locked FTL
6- Public Enemies German Steelbook, Green FSK Logo all up in your face
7-INSERT ANY JUMBO RELEASE, worst idea ever, is more plastic than steel
8-Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within MM, horrible cover
9-Dragon Wars (Media Markt Exclusive), Oscar worthy movie
10- James Bond Steels, incomplete collection and widely available

That's an hard one there's so many TF1 releases!
OK I'll try to do it.

1, FaF 1-4 (DVD sized blank) (UK)
2. Anthony Kavanagh.com
3. Ushuaïa Nature
4. Les Aventures de Rabbi Jacob
5. Les Animaux Amoureux
6. JCVD (stickerbook) (MM, Germany)
7. FaF 1-4 (plasticbook) (Germany)
8. FaF 1-4 (plasticbook) (Italy)
9. Beowulf (MM, Germany)
10. Angels and Demons (Canada)

I think these 10 are the ugliest or have the worst content ever.

Cheers,
Gui.

Anything with a Printed FSK Logo & Angels & Demons Canada. You have to be pretty OCD to even consider buying one with an FSK Logo Printed on it, totally ruins the artwork and cover.

True I wonder how many people here will stop buying FSK logo steelbooks when they are mandatory in Germany?

Just a thought

Well.. if they keep it as a sticker, it will still abide by their regulations and we will still get what we want (SB without FSK logo). If they decide to imprint it on the SB, then they will get the message when there are tons left on the racks when we vote with our wallets.. its up to them, but if they are savvy, they should make the logo a sticker.

Isn't the Final Fantasy MM cover the same as the regular release? I'm gonna assume people just don't like it because of the movie....I have the DVD and think the cover is all right...
