Sorry for the long link. If it doesn't work search for "steelbook" and click on "OEM" in left hand column.

Not worth it

Two words: Over. Priced.

Yup!

If you got all 5 for 20 I would think about it but those prices are insane!

$20 for steelbooks? Overpriced.
Steelbooks always arrived scratched, and they always print barcodes right on the cases.

How's this even a deal?

Fear 3 and Duke Nukem are both $19.99 new. So if you got the game and steelbook for $20 that I'd say that's a good deal.

IF they came with their respective game it would be a good deal. However, these are just $20 cases.

I'm pretty sure BellardB is some asshole Futureshop dreg trying to drum up interest in his awful, awful deal.

I thought you guys were being a bit harsh until I realized these don't come with games. Yeesh!

I tried to order the games and add to cases to the order, they tried to charge me for both. So I emailed support to see if they would give me the steelbooks for free since I was buying the games and was told no. So without getting the game too this is definitely a crappy deal

There are dudes that pay 5x the price to import from another country just to get the steelbook. For $20 I'm sure there's a group of people who would get excited for this.

Many of the people who would pay for this are probably on CAG, just look in the regular forums. This may be a money-making opportunity for some. Just not me.

If they were $5 a pop like in some stores on the clearance tables I would get them but at $20 a pop though there is no way.

Well, normally, as a limited-edition pre-order type deal, these would have some collector value. But what people don't seem to realize is that Future Shop just has some supplier making these things for them en masse, and now they're apparently swamped enough to be selling them outright. Perceived/intangible value down, cynical profiteering up.

God damn, I wish someone would give me $20 for mine.

$20? Wow.

A few weeks ago I was at the Futureshop at Yonge and Eg and they had some steelbooks for $10. Don't know if that's new or not but that was the first time I saw them. They had FF12, Skyrim, AC. Still, $10 is a rip-off.

I'd think $10 is fair. I preorder specifically to get stuff like this, not because I want the game on day 1. So if I could buy the preoder goodie, and wait for the game to inevitably drop $30-$40 I'd come out way ahead.

Selling them after the fact like this though, is quite pointless.

I would pay $10 a piece for these, but my FS doesn't sell them separately.
