Lets not forget that sold out at Future Shop does not always mean sold out. Does anyone remember when their online store brought in almost 200 copies of the Superman Returns Steelbook, during the Boxing Day sale and slashed the price to $9.99 for almost a week.

Sellers on eBay were asking up to $60.00 for a new copy and up to $50.00 for used copy. It is still available online for $29.99

I have never had a problem in getting a US exclusive Steelbook at a fairly reasonable price. The trick is to stay calm and wait for the dust to clear. A few weeks after release day, people who bought extra copies are now dumping them on eBay.

I think that the I Am Legend Blu-ray Steelbook will be harder to find in a few months but not difficult by any means. Three of the four stores in my city is still showing stock.

YMMV

Hi xage,

Happy Easter back at you.

Very impressive collection that you have there. Good job.

xage

Thanks...

but still not nearly as half as your "Massive" Collection..

Im basically drooling on the horizontal steelbooks you posted... i hope they have R1 of those

For Canadian, it's a better deal at some HMV where they added more Fox steelbooks, YMMV, for $12.50 in the 2/$25 section.. Of course, they won't carry any of the exclusives that BestBuy US has..

Personally, I won't get my rewardzone points.. The US one is much more generous than the Canadian to get your $5 rz certificate (250 vs 400 points)..

Someone on eBay is trying to pass off a Cars TIN as a Steelbook.

A true Cars Steelbook is all red without any silver border.

Seller must be starving. He is now accepting Best Offer and dramatically reduced his shipping charges by 30-50%.

planet terror and death proof sb are once again available on BB.com. I didn't get them the first time around and the closest store to have them was an hour away.

Wow this cloverfield case looks awesome

IGN Link to cover art





Can't wait. The "crushed" case could really be sweet.

I hope that's the steelbook and not the slipcover. Does anyone know for sure what the Sweeney Todd steelbook will look like?

pridesticks06

According to IGN, that is the Cloverfield steelbook case. Looks tight.

And has any sweeney steelbook art been verified? I can only hope it's the Czech art....

Kory

The spine doesn't look like a Steelbook spine, but that picture that doesn't include the spine DEFINITELY looks like a Steelbook. We'll see.

And no, there hasn't been a confirmed "Sweeney Todd" cover yet, so I'm PRAYING that we will see the one posted with the bloody knife here in the U.S. .

howwon

Actually, the news release called it a steel-book. It could just be a typo.

prozac80

where will that cloverfield case be at?

pridesticks06

I believe Transworld stores, i.e. FYE, suncoast etc. Someone correct me if I'm wrong though. Really makes things difficult for me though, since I'm not near one without driving about an hour.

Question: Of the die hard steelbooks, is there a difference in the colored version to the black and white, or grayscale, one? Is one more rare than the other?

howwon

Die Hard Steelbook comparision

pridesticks06

Ah. Thanks. I need to use the search function more often.

EDIT: Tried searching this question, couldn't find anything. Does anybody have any info on cleaning a steelbook? My Die Hard steelbook has some sticker residue on it, and I was just curious as to technique on cleaning it, for it's obviously different than the regular plastic surface.

howwon

Hang tight for now. I hope to have an answer for you, tomorrow.

ScottsdaleSaint

eh, goo-gone worked just fine for me, just like it works on regular dvd cases.
