| | Posted: | | | | A few "Region 2" users have voiced a desire to add "Steel Book" as a case type.
I am in Region 1 and only have 1 of these.
If you want this case type added, this is the place to voice your reason. | | | | Dan | | | | Last edited: by Dan W |

| | Posted: | | | | Well, there's quite a few out (or coming out) in region 1 (I currently own 5) and this Tuesday a few more are coming out, so it's still worth having even for region 1 folks. |

| | Posted: | | | | As much as i dislike them, yes, we need it. I'd say 50% of the new 2-Disc releases in Germany come as Steelbooks, Steel Paks or similar metallic cases. | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | There's actually quite a few of the "Steel Books" being released on R1 now. Best Buy is stocking a bunch of them in stores...mostly from Fox. I don't think any are actually BB exclusives, except for the X-Men 1.5. | | | | Corey |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, I think, we need something like "Steel Book" or "Metal Case", because of the fact, that there are many of this releases. |

| | Posted: | | | | For those unclear what a "Steel Book" is, follow the link below. Steel Book"The Departed" (Region 1) is in one of these cases. | | | | Dan |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes - Please add this, there are enough to justify the new case type. I got a few now (X-Men3, Appleseed...) this could be a great addition for type of case  |

| | Posted: | | | | I am surprised this was not already added to release 3.0. As this is the most used method of wrapping up collector's items today. | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | Considering the number of esp German R2 DVD released in those cases I'd say YES. |

| | Posted: | | | | Yes, because (in case of Germany) more and more DVDs will be released and re-released in this case type and I think this will continue.  | | | | Not desperate. |

| | Posted: | | | | Studios here in Portugal are using them quite commonly for the collector's editions for the last year or so.
