Uusally open them, to watch film and see what artwork is inside. But favorite movies, I might end up buying 2 copies and keep one sealed.

I keep mine sealed as much as possible, but my main bugbear is getting a rare steel and the discs are loose :-(

I tend to watch the films on Netflix or Sky HD, so I don't need to open them!

Does anyone know if the loose discs can be reattached without opening the factory seal?

Open and watch... and remove rating stickers where possible,hate those things.

I could not watch it on netflix or sky otherwise it puts my home cinema system to waste lol. You might as well enjoy the likes of Dolby True HD 7.1 and DTS-HD Master 7.1 and better picture by opening and enjoying the blu-rays played on the bluray player.

I don't have a home cinema system, so I'm not really bothered! And most films on sky HD look crystal clear so you couldn't tell the difference on picture. Anyway! Some Blu's have a **** transfer rate anyway, some of them look like they have been copied from DVD! Keeping them sealed or not is a personal choice and I like to keep em sealed!

I disagree mate, until you get yourself a decent AV and blu-ray player connected up with 7 channel sound from 7 speakers and 1 sub you will see the difference

But if your not bothered about picture and sound it doesn't matter at all

Back to open or sealed? 80 percent opened, 20 percent sealed.

open them, enjoy them, feal them, smell them, love them

I always keep these sealed given their rarity. But if I find a rare, open one....I won't pass it up.

I'm with you

 

[workforce]

open them and enjoy these bad boys

I mostly open my steelbooks... I have a passion for films and love watching these film (Like ALL HiDef Ninja's).. I am a collector of films and when you spend money on these you MUST want to appreciate the Artwork (FRONT,BACK,INSIDE) and you cannot do this with sealed copies. Also I don't really plan to get ride of them as I am very picky on what I sometimes buy...

I only open them as I get around to watch them. If I have doubled on films with different artwork then I might keep them sealed for NOW but when I have more space to display them then I might open them..

Great discussion guys.... keep it going.

Only the spares stay sealed, if I were receiving a trade then I would want em sealed so would others I guess. Also if they're spare why open them? I open all my steels even if I don't watch em right away Only time I feel guilty about opening them is when it's in a trade and I know it's been seen for ages already. Also, I felt guilty about opening my Iron man yesterday..

i always open them so i can see the inside artwork.

Exactly! What's the point in owning something beautiful when you can't see half of it?

 

[xage]

I do have my own personal points of reason. I acquire it under my own expense and my personal satisfaction cannot superseded by other's personal opinion

And, Yes - I have all my steelbooks, metal cases, metal box... etc SEALED

Should you see an image from me which is opened, rest assured it is part of multiple "backup copies" of that open copy.

 

[lgans316]

17 of us never opening anything? :shoot:mg:

 

[CyberAthlete]

It depends, the more rare ones stay sealed

Probably more. Not everyone has voted.

I open them, but immediately put them in covers.

After all I would hate to buy duplicates of a ton of movies.
