The US barely gets any Steelbooks (2012 mainly had Warner re-hashes from Canada, and random Sony ones), Germany puts out a decent amount, but often in their language so it's not as appealing. Japan gets some, but they're expensive as hell. Canada doesn't appear to put out as many as in the past. So yeah, 2013 is looking rather bleak at the moment.

That's what happens when most Steelbook collectors request a return when a small ding or paint chip is on their copy. Now you could say it's Play or HMV's fault for bad packaging but I think it's mostly our faults.
