I had liked these SteelBooks at first but after getting V for Vendetta, TDK and Batman Begins I stopped. I'm not digging the lack of art inside the case itself. Seems kind of blah.
I'm not a special case guy anymore like I was in my DVD days but if something looks nice (i.e. Django) I'm all for it. The WB reissues just come off as lazy.

Saw a bunch of these tonight. I own a bunch of the ones I'd want. I picked up Chinatown and might get Batman Begins and The Dark Knight.

I really dig the Watchmen steelbook cover, and alot of others...that said, I just can't bring myself to triple dip. I upgraded alot of these from DVD to blu already.

The Death Race comic steelbook looks awful up close. Whoever drew that somehow managed to make the uber-sexy Natalie Martinez look bloated and ugly.
The only ones I bought were Face/Off and Heat. Never liked the white border on the original Face/Off cover and I really like the metallic blue cover on the Heat steelbook.

Picked up Batman and Batman Returns at Wal-Mart. Not one to double dip for artwork, but I love the cover for The Departed steelbook.

I finally seen these yesterday at Best Buy (priced $14.99), and a cardboard display of the Universal "Reel Heroes" steelbooks. Best buy has a larger selection of the Universal's than Walmart did.

If you remove the security tape will you peel off some of the ink on artwork?
That is what happened to my Scarface steelbook.

Yeah, I was at Best Buy to get a PSN card and noticed this endcap. Several different Universal films in comic panel style packaging, all with Ultraviolet copies. I picked up Pitch Black, Chronicles of Riddick, The Big Lebowski, and Scott Pilgrim. I didn't have the first three on BD yet (I have them on HD DVD). I have two copies of Scott Pilgrim (regular BD and UK Steelbook), but this one looked so cool, I couldn't resist. They were all $14.99.

Some are $9.96 at Wal-mart this week (Pitch Black), and some are $12.96 (Riddick, Big Lebowski, Scott Pilgrim). Target is also selling some of these for $12.

I was at Target earlier and saw The Mummy, Chronicles of Riddick and Scarface for $12 each.
Those are really beautiful covers but man I really wish these were full-fledged SteelBook cases with interior artwork.

It's a shame Warner's wont use the theatrical poster of NOES for the steelbook.
I would of double dipped just for this cover.

I'll pick up The Ring since I never got around to getting the original release. Would like to get Cloverfield, but I'm not rebuying movies I already have just for a new case.

Best Buy is having a 2-day sale on several of the WB steelbooks for $8.99 each. Looks like Amazon has matched some of them.
