SteelBooks™ Side-By-Side Picture Comparison Thread

[DJHilalo]

I have had this idea in the back of my head for sometime now and every time I post a picture in its relevant thread I almost always post it with another country release for comparison, be it a world-wide release of a certain steelbook title or as my man FM puts it a 'Worldwide Exclusive Artwork' aka WEA

So rather than doing that I thought it'd be best off creating a dedicated thread that showcase a comparison shots of a similar steelbook titles and to make it easy for members to browse and decide which one is THE one that suits them most, that would also make the other threads less cluttered and easier to load/browse.

So without further ado I will start this thread with couple of pictures and will add more as time permits, please feel free to post your own comparison shots stating either in the image or post country of release & maybe store exclusive

Thanks mate, looking great
But somehow your images are not visible on my iMac/iPad, I have to click on each link for them to open in a new window and show.

Thanks guys, hope it will be worth the effort in taking pictures, editing, uploading and then posting it on here for HDN members to fully make use of it as a guiding reference

That's the spirit my friend, the whole point of this thread is to contribute and share our double-dipping titles in our collections, be it a holy grail or not, £10 or £900 it makes no different, it's not to show off or boost it's to help each other out and other new members, post as many as you want matey and hope others contribute to it too, it doesn't matter if someone already posted a certain comparison title, just do it the more the merrier and thanks to everyone in advance

Some more shots coming your way in the next couple of minutes

 

[surfury]

Could think of loads of combinations, and is is a Thread that I have already subscribed to.

Any chance of a list of ones (photos) already posted in the OP ?? Saves any repitition then, just a thought.

 

[Noodles]

I have to agree... great idea for a thread DJ! Thanks to those who have shared photos so far.

Cheers guys, hope U join in with the fun, post them steels U have

@surfury, could do but I sense that more and more fellow members will post pictures (which is really the the whole point of such thread), but that will also mean it will be a chaos of a 1st post lol besides the purpose of this whole thread is less chat & more pictures, meaning it should be a fun ride to go throw the whole thread months from now

Hilal, what a great idea for a thread, matey! I will try to contribute some pics by the weekend.

Wow well done to OP's idea & everyone posting!

But if i was to be critical, i see that its only just front pics.

I would suggest open pics as well as inside artwork and number of disks in a release is also very important to many collectors - it can be the deciding factor overall when working out which version of a release to go for
