Do you let your friends/family borrow your steelbooks?

[Sir Hilary Bray]

The only person who I'll let borrow my steelbooks, is my best friend, simply because I am 100% confident that if he damaged them, he'd replace them, even if that means paying crazy Ebay prices.


Aside from that, I'll just let anyone else borrow the disc, I'll just stick it in a CD case or something.

 

[Lone Crusader]

My family only and I pop the disc out and throw it into a regular empty amaray but I keep the steelbook whenever they want to borrow something.

 

[Jason Bourne]

Only my sister.

 

[Orange Splice]

Oh hell no!!!

Discs only!!!

^ 100% agreed.

 

[Colombianlove41]

I would buy my family a copy before I would ever let anything leave the house...

 

[Blu-devil]

I only lend my Steelbooks out to people over the age of 80 and only if accompanied by Both grandparents.

Family are the worse as they see it as their god given right, then if it gets lost or damaged they don't give a ****. I Never Never Never lend my Blu-rays out to anyone, not even my Amarays. Here in the Philippines if you lend someone something don't expect it back, they assume they can keep it. Happened a couple of times with DVD's, hence my rule. As we Brits say, never a borrower or lender be.

 

[Drum18]

Always happy to share my movies with family/friends BUT my steelbooks stays here!!!

It helps that I have a lot of double copies... tx for double-dipping

 

[FanOfGaming]

Don't lend any of my movies, steelbook or otherwise, to people

I wanted it, I bought it. They want it, they can buy it

 

[grahamotoole1]

never lent a steelbook and never will,ive had dvds destroyed over the years by friends and family so i wont be burned again

 

[fariz]

nope.
i just give the disc only
family, friends, lovers. it's all the same. anything can happen to the steelbook

 

[cooey]

Just before ypu do that and say "as long as you don't leave the country" just remember that i do work at an airport hahaha

Hahaha just remember I know where you live

 

[nhang]

Maybe I'm a bit OCD, but I won't let anyone (except myself) touch either an open Steelbook or the Discs!

 

[amen]

I wouldnt even dream of such a thing!! Its mine...all mine...muhahaha!!!

 

[spawnshop]

I will lend out a disc in another case, but never lend out the actual steelbook - Trust No One!

 

[Zorro]

Discs only to family. Cases never leave my house.

 

[Stash]

I learned as a child (with the biggest VHS Collection out
of my friends) that you never lend movies. I stick to that. Made a few
exceptions with my DVD collection, and never saw them again or it took
a year before I got it back.

Now that I have over 100+ Steelbooks and a serious BD collection I completely
do not believe in lending. However, I like to own lots of BDs to entertain so my main
rule is, "If you want to watch it, just come over and watch it with me."

Too harsh? I don't think so.

 

[trm3]

Never because other people just don't understand our passion for our hobbies. I usually lend out the DVD copies, most of the time they never notice the difference.

 

[avenger85]

Never lend my steelbooks to anyone. Too risky ...

Barely let my wife look at them.

 

[Bobthesub]

I rarely lend anything out, but if I do its the disks in a spare Blu ray case

 

[grow]

From Shakespeare

Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.

I never lend anything that I would want to see returned now. No one I know treats loaned property well. Discs left lying around on the floor, lost cases...or they forget who lent them what, and when...(because the borrowers I know have several things on loan from many different people).

 

[Konflick]

They can borrow only the disc and not the case.
