So I've been wondering lately about the number of blu ray Steelbooks Zavvi have been producing lately and all the video game steelbooks they've missed. Wouldn't it be good if they started to look into the video game Steelbook market. Now, now hear me out
Zavvi with blu ray steelbooks have went a tad crazy lately as we've all seen, they seem to release a lot of steelbooks compared to what the market was once like years ago, however with video game steelbooks they can't really backtrack with re-releases of video games can they unlike them re-releasing another steelbook for a film which has either previously been released in the UK or in other counties. So with video game steelbooks it's not like they can go crazy and offer us too much. Even if they made a steelbook for all the video game releases coming up it would still look bare compared to how many film steelbooks they do. As I've said they can't go over the top can they
The only thing they could really do, which is probably a silly idea to most people, is to release empty steelbook cases for old games and I'm talking about games which have never gotten steelbooks. Take Uncharted for example the third game got a steelbook, the second one did (not as good) but the first game didn't get one and that makes some peoples collections stick out like a swore thumb. Look at Borderlands 2, that got a Steelbook but the first one never did then you have big releases like inFAMOUS where not ONE game has had a steelbook releases. So when you look at the options they could take that's the only road they could go down and it's not a very likely one so at the end of the day we don't have to worry about Zavvi releasing too many video game steelbooks.
Anyway this just occurred to me today when I saw that Zavvi was doing the Evil Within steelbook which looks like the same one offered at Gamestop in Germany. We miss out of a lot of steelbooks that other places like Germany especially get. Tomb Raider, Skryim, Mario Kart 8, Minecraft and even Smash Bros from FutureShop...wouldn't it be good if Zavvi picked up these steelbooks no one else are doing. Hell even DriveClub got a steelbook but with some of the lesser known sites for the UK offering it the steelbook would go right under the radar if you didn't keep up with forums.
So yeah that's my thought on it, I just think it would be a good idea if somebody on here could reach out to Zavvi and see if they wouldn't mind at least looking into the video game steelbook market. Think about it aswell they could do bundles of collectors editions with the steelbook they are EXCLUSIVELY offering and because most of our editions miss out on Steelbooks (Take the recent The Order 1886 Steelbook for example) then people are more likely to shop at Zavvi since they will getting more.
This could be a good thing for Zavvi, they are already known as the "Home of the Steelbooks" so why not expand on that.
Thoughts on this?
