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

You start picking up cheap Steelbooks for average movies.

I just picked up Resident Evil 1-4 for $44.

The employees you deal with are now experts on Steelbooks as well

when you search through websites in different languages that you dont understand trying to find a bargain lol

ala you might be a rednecks...

If your wife has to say words like embossed, inside art, and 4000 print run to get you in bed you might be a steelbook collector

If you have 300 steelbooks and no blu-ray player you might be a steelbook collector

If you've spent more time at work on HDN than doin work you might... well you might get fired... but you might also be a steelbook collector

When you judge your latest pay check by how many Iron Man FS's you could afford if you didn't pay any bills for a month and left the country.

Oh yes, I like that dream a lot. Trouble was when we did have Best Buy they didn't stock BB exclusives.

When the post arrives and you realise its a steelbook but have no idea what it is until you open it

When the only word you type into HMV/PLAY/Amazon's search bar is 'Steelbook' just to see if any new ones have been announced

When you check your emails and you have dozens of notifications from HMV/Play/Amazon to say 'you can now preorder these steelbooks'

When you think the postman should start working Sundays (and bank holidays - lazy gits).

When you get home and are fed up because the postman hasn't left you anything nice (just the credit card bill).
