The Signs Of Steelbook Addiction

[OxfordNick]

Thought I, as a caring member of society, would start a thread to help people recognise those first signs of addiction. Feel free to add your own to the list.

The addict will:

1. Start to put his/her iPhone by his/her bed so that he/she can check HDN/eBay on waking

2. Start to use the word emboss far too regularly (or in some cases for the first time)

3. They may ask for opinions about something called 'open or sealed'

4. They appear to become Indiana Jones - always muttering about a search for the Holy Grail

5. They have no money for everyday things yet the postman has pretty much moved in

Just my starter for ten. Anyone else?

Cheers

Nick

Like I did yesterday, post in a thread "Did I ask anyone to get me this ?" because you have genuinely lost track of all the Steelbooks you're due, not to mention the Group Buys you've started, Group Buys you're taking part in or Group Buys you're trying to finish. ARGGGHHHH. Finally, not to mention the times you start to hate Steelbooks and wonder how you ever got started in the first place: as I said, don't mention that !!

You watched a movie in theaters and it sucked big time. But then there is a Steelbook announcement with badass artwork for the movie and you pre-order it despite the movie itself is crap.

Spot on Guilty as charged...

When you have friends round and they start to wonder if your mad because "you have films in bags" as my friend would say. And just in case anyone starts to wonder I'm talking about steel protectors, I'm not that crazy

You even have to read sites like these just to get a fix

 

[Drum18]

When doing "your everyday job" on the road, you decide which customer to go depending if there's a Future Shop nearby!

[PS3_Kiwi]

You are continually thinking of emigrating to Canada, so that you can get a daily Future Shop hit.

When store security comes up to you because you have created a stack of bad/dented steelbooks while looking for "the one"

When the employees at your local store recognize you and ask you what the newest releases are going to be
