It needs some work/improvements, but I made a test slip for this using my design - I'm hoping to sell them once I've perfected the process (whenever that may be) if anyone's interested.
Because we can. Back in the day, standard steelbooks would have amazing artworks and finishes. These days not so much. So that’s the comparison.
I get what you're saying but it's been a while since we had great steels like the Play.com ones and other fantastic ones. It just gets a bit frustrating when, with all respect, people always mention the premium editions when they're almost double the price.Because we can. Back in the day, standard steelbooks would have amazing artworks and finishes. These days not so much. So that’s the comparison.
Back in the day steelbooks were no better than what we have now . . . only seem so to those that only like original poster art used as steelbook designs.
Haha I guess so! Shame they're not steelbooks, but it's probably the closest I'll ever get.Impressive work there @Noodles! You design and manufacture your own concepts now??????

Truth
Nonsense.
“Back in the day” we didn’t have constant rereleases of the same movies. “Back in the day” we weren’t plagued by poorly executed pop art.
Heck, in some cases steels were priced the same as their amaray counterparts.... back in the day.

Will let you know after I consult my crystal ballwill this come back in stock? TIA
Very likely yes when Zavvi make available canceled orders done by customers and orders they canceled due to failed payments and card fruad detectionwill this come back in stock? TIA
Zavvi will debit payment the week before release date likely to be on Wed or Thur but can be as early as Mon or TueWill this be really released on Sep. 3rd? I mean, sometimes Zavvi release new steelbooks a few days earlier than announced release date.
In truth steelbooks were not cheaper when they first appeared on the scene and the HMV and Amazon prices are comparable to today's prices . . . main difference of course being that discs were only regular Blu-rays w/ sometimes DVDs included (no 3D discs and obviously no 4K UHD discs) . . .
It was only when Play.com started churning them out from May, 2012 that we had a decent selection of £9.99 and £10.99 steelbooks.
It should also be remembered that when Blu-rays first appeared in the UK in the last quarter of 2006, and for a while after that, you could pop into your local HMV and find most new Amaray releases priced at between £18 - £25 w/ some priced at a stratospheric £29.99.
