Steelbook & Collecting FAQ's:

Q: Where can I find a list of Steelbooks released?

A: blu-raysteelbooks.com

Q: Can I play movies contained inside Steelbooks on my Blu-Ray Player?

A: It depends-Blu-Rays are coded with Region A, B or C. Most Blu-Rays are "unlocked", regardless of what region they are, but it's always a good idea to check this forum or web resources before buying, as some are "locked".

Q: What are the differences between Steelbooks™, Iron Packs™, Metal Paks™, Viva Metal Boxes, Tins, etc?

A: Check out pics and discussion in our forum here

Q: What does "G1" and "G2" mean when discussing Steelbooks?

A: "G1" (1st Generation) refers to a Blu-Ray in a DVD-sized case. And "G2" (2nd Generation) refers to a Blu-Ray in a Blu-Ray-sized case.

Q: How to fix a loose disc on a steelbook you want to keep factory sealed that came with a floater?

A: Fixing a loose disc

Q: How do I navigate international shopping sites?

A: You can download a free 'add on' for most browsers called 'Google Translate'. Once you have it installed, the pages will translate automatically.

Q: I have many more questions-is there a general list of links to help me learn about Steelbooks, protecting them, etc?

A: Yes, here

Another vote of confidence from me. I think you will get what you ordered and well packaged too. Despite the occasional order glitches, I wouldn't hesitate to buy again from Bert.
 
Future Shop in the UK?

Hey guys I'm pretty new to steelbook collecting but was just wondering if Future Shop in Canada had any UK affiliates as I'd love a UK chain to start churning out lots of Steels (esp Disney ones)

I realise HMV are doing more but nothing seems to be matching Future Shop at present.

Why is FYE more Expensive??

Why the hell is FYE so Damn expensive????:angry: i went in to look around and saw a New copy of Bad Teacher Combo for......$45.99:angry: its not even a steelbook:( i mean almost every movie is more then the usual price from Wal-Mart or Best Buy. they do have some decent priced USED blu's:D
 
This maybe should be in the "I don't believe" thread, but as far as I'm aware there was never a Hellboy 1 & 2 Blu ray Steelbook. I know there was a DVD one, just that there is one advertised on Amazon.co.uk under Marketplace here.

Should this sort of thing be reported to Amazon ?
 
I am with surfury. I order from them and have always had the best OCD packaging. They package very well and are a very good company. :scat:


I'd like to order a few things from them, but what shipping option do I pick for US? What is the difference for C1, 2, or 3?
Thanks

Are we gonna get 100 Steelbooks from Universal this year ? Think that is might expensive way of celebrating but they are doing quite well so far with the MM releases and the Play.com ones as well.
 
My feeling on the Hellboy thing is that this is a bit 'sneaky', as there is no such release. Anytime someone 'doctors' their listing to sell what was never actually officially released,I'd proceed with caution.

My point entirely. Fair enough selling a pair like that in forum environment, but should Amazon be made aware ?
 
Surf-it's really up to you, and any other member whether you wish to report. It helps everyone if you do alert retailers if something doesn't look right, but you're not obligated, of course.
 
BRJ-the seller has a listing that says 'Hellboy 1 and 2' but shows the cover for Hellboy 1. There is no such 'officially released' Steelbook that includes 1 and 2, and it is not clear what actual discs/versions are included. Since this seems a bit 'homespun', folks should just be aware, when considering a purchase, as it looks like an 'official' Amazon listing.
