Did you copy and past this from the last thread someone dare mention the words 're-release'?
You say it's selfish for Steelbook collectors to say it's waste, well I say it's selfish and lazy for someone to wish every Steelbook ever released be re-released in the UK or any other country for that matter. The majority of Steelbook collectors import, it's only a select few who don't (typically new collectors). It's so easy to import that there's no excuse not to. It's easy to get a region free player so that's not a problem either.
Personally, I've only been collecting a couple of years but I went back and collected ones I missed out on. Re-releases annoy long term collectors because they take the fun out of it. Where's the fun in collecting if everything is available at the click of a mouse? There's also the fact that collectors spend thousands of £s and $s collecting, buying OOP items, rare items, joining group buys etc. in the hope of having something unique (which for me is one of the main draws. I like the thought that I have something not many others have) only for studios to ruin that for us by chasing new customers.
