@therealrobbo Moved your post here for better exposure since they release steelbooks.
They sometimes offer certain titles on here via group buys. You'll need to subscribe to the relevant thread to be made aware if a GB will be coming up or not and you can subscribe to the GB section itself (link below) to be notified whenever any steelbook GB is posted.
Thanks for replying! Okay cool, so can you explain exactly to me what a Group Buy is? So you don't just buy it off the website, like a Mantalab for example? Sorry!
You can buy direct from them but their site has security issues depending on your bank/web browser/time of day combination. They usually sell out in minutes, sometimes seconds.
Your best bet is a GB or, as you know, eBay/classifieds.
A group buy is hosted by someone who has access to X release. It is a convenient way to get coveted titles before their release (when a GB is offered for a given title). Blufans releases for exmaple can be only had through GBs as they haven't sold anything on their site for years.
Here's a post by our @Actarus about how to buy from a GB
Ninja tip: How to purchase a steelbook from a group buy
Hey, Since this will be my first GB I wanted to know, how exactly the buying-process works. Do I have to post the version I want in an reply-post in the GB-thread when it comes online or is there a kind of shopping cart I add the version to and check out like in many online stores? Kind regards...www.hidefninja.com
Pretty much.Yes I find their website very broken, any link I click on often doesn't work, and like you say it can sell out in seconds. So is a group buy where HD Zeta (in this case) allocates a certain amount to collector groups, and it's the first people who set dibs gets a copy?
Pretty much.
