I recently jumped on the Blu-Ray HD wagon. I bought myself a PS3 and a 40inch Samsung 1080p HDTV. So i really hope they start making blu-ray steelbooks!

I have over 25 steelbooks right now so i'm obviously a collector, but i just love the look of a blu ray movies so much! So im torn, my steelbook addiction wants the pretty cases but i also want the blu ray movie. I REALLY don't want to have to resort to buying the steelbook AND the blu-ray movie...

I'm also torn because i said before that i would never start buying blu ray movies since i love collecting cool special edition DVDs. I've always disliked those tiny little blu cases...

Oh well heh.

The Blu-ray / HD SteelBook inventory is still pretty small.

The ones that I have so far are:

I Am Legend - Blu-ray R1 & R2
Pans Labyrinth - Blu-ray R2
Sweeney Todd - Blu-ray R2
Strip Mind - HD R2
T2 - HD R2

If I ever get time, I'll posts the pictures.

I saw a copy of History's Shockwave and Battle 360 out early.. Shockwave comes in box that you open the top like a lid. I couldn't tell if there's a steelbook inside.. Does anyone have an early copy they can open to confirm?

Didnt mention anything about two steelbooks, I guess it got you confused on my quoted response to Scott's point of view on Steelbook design between USA & Canada.

As of now, no one knows the actual cover design of the IronMan steelbook, as what I mentioned on my previous post - "possible" Iron Man steelbook.

and even if one looks at the Futureshop Iron Man ad (and reference to howwon's post below), there is a small disclaimer there stating:

"Releases 30 Sep/08. Note: Image may not be exactly as shown."

too bad it doesn't have the extras of the R2. i guess i'll just put that 2nd disc into this SteelBook.

i wonder if Best Buy will have this next week. too bad speedy is on vacation, but he deserves it.

I was able to pre-order it @ my local Suncoast earlier today. I also pre-ordered the steelbook for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (10/14).

Sweet Jesus!

Damn...why can't the release all four films in steelbook (yeah i know about the trilogy from Futureshop, but it'd be sweet to have all four in one collection, or even seperate like the Die Hard steels)
