For some people it is about "I have it and you don't". Where is the fun in collecting if everything is widely available and everyone owns the same things?
That fine and i understand if you like having something others don't have
But if you had missed out before would you not be glad to get a chance to purchase
Steelbooks are getting lot more popular worldwide now and is also an excuse for some studios to offload non selling existing stock of back catalog releases which is great if its something you want although some recently have been of poor quality
There will always be some releases that will remain very limited and hard to get but for me i want to be able to purchase a release without having to pay crazy price
Some will like it been released and some wont like it re released
If you had a chance to purchase a steelbook you missed out on which would you prefer pay crazy price or normal price
This is of course is solved with different artwork used in different countries releases but all that counts is you get the chance to get it if you want it but you still get some complaining even when artwork is different
I purchase a steelbook because its something i want for me and some steelbooks i don't buy because I'm not interested in it
Whats important is what you purchase your happy with and you were able to purchase
You decide to keep it or not is up to each person and reasons making a purchase is there right
