>Spending on Steelbook titles has grown 25% in 2025, driven by collectors treating them as luxury items.
As long as they don't have those HORRENDOUS wal mart tier covers
>>220189806Aesthetic minimalism is a holocaust.
I don't give a shit about steelbooks or fancy packagings. Just give me a decent cover on a classic amaray case and I'm ok.
>>220189714I like the idea of collecting deluxe editions of movies but I'll never watch them most likely. I do like the behind the scenes on some of my favorite movie though.
how many commercials that you paid the privilege to own do they come with
>>220190172Do people rebuy DVDs just for a different cover? If they were cheap and I already didn't have the movie I'd probably buy some in the wild if I really wanted to see the film but how many people collect varieties of the same film? Is there someone out there with all of the Back to the Future variants over the years?
>>220190172is that real. that's sad. they turned them into book covers for women's shitty crazy fiction.
>>220190324I'm sure someone does but that's not who this is for directly
>>220190172
>>220190172That's not even the worst. I've been to a bookstore that turned into a toystore. They only have one shelf left for books and they all have a uniform typesetting using the same font and a solid pastel color for covers. They were all classic books too, not movie books
>>220189714Only one I own is Bugonia because it has the superior cover art to the normal version.
>>220189806>>220189844I like steelbooks, but yeah I hate that 90% of them have garbage like this on them instead of the infinitely superior theatrical poster. There are only a few exceptions where the theatrical poster is garbage and replacing it is good (BR2049).
>>220192176Sadly sometimes it's the only option to get the 4K version that does not involve shelling out to scalperniggers on scambay
this is fake. no retail store carries 4k blurays
>>220192357tf are you talking about that one's standard is in print on Amazon
>>220192176Books also have this problem. They'll come out with a nice deluxe edition, but then put a bad overly-simple cover on it. *Shaking my head*
>>220192440Not steelbook tho, between plastic shit with better cover art and steelbook with bad art, steelbook still wins
>>220190172In a way movies are like 90 minute vacations. Surely every American is used to enjoying a 90 min. vacation?
>>220190172those travel posters from the 1930s were way better for actually being traditionally hand-painted.
>>220192176Teaser poster is often better than the theatrical poster in my view.
>>220189714It's called the paypig model. Fewer people buy discs, so you upsell the ones that still do.
>>220189714>steelbookThis is one of those words that I can't read without immediately picturing a 'jak
>>220189714There have been multiple instances where I bought a steelbook only to find I've been screwed out of bonus discs from the other release which is total bullshit.
