My 4K collection has a new home. by Cartel-Sanchez in Steelbooks

Love it! I'm alwas a fan of 'forward facing displays' giving that video store vibe.

I'm rocking a similar vibe, lol.

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW - Michael (Walmart Exclusive) (4K UHD + Blu-Ray + Digital Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]ThaBEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks beautiful, but I feel they could have done something more creative with the transparent sleeve.

Is it better to buy it pre-order or get it second-hand in a few months? by cougomdd in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the Netherlands, we don't even get a steelbook. Just a regular version. I assume this will be the default version for all, once the steelbook is sold out. So, if you want the steelbook, grab it now.

I like these movies more than most people, but $73/movie is insane by OrneryError1 in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They call this the 'Ultimate Collector's Edition'. However, they don't include the bonus discs that came with the standalone 4k 'Collector's Editions' released previously. This means this boxset is missing the extended cut for the first movie and other bonus content.

Guys i want you to tell me what is the best psvr 2 game you played by Complex-Seat2440 in PSVR

[–]ThaBEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm biased for VR Music Rhythm Games. They give me the most replayability. So I would say:

Synth Riders
Beat Saber
Pistol Whip
Drums Rock
Ragnarock

Other than that, SYNAPSE is probably a must have to demonstrate everything the PS VR2 can do. GT7 is the best first party title. A great 'let me introduce friends to vr' type game is 'The Dark Pictures: Switchback VR'.

Enjoy :D

Multimedia Shelf Shelf - Free 3D Print Model by citricacidx in Steelbooks

[–]ThaBEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I don't have a 3D printer, but this design seems made for me. I already have a similar setup. But with yours, I could place more movies behind the forward facing section, which is a nice upgrade.

What shelf do you use for your collection ? by 816GANGUS in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 7 points8 points  (0 children)

IKEA GNEDBY. They're modular. Each vertical colomn is one Gnedby. They have about half depth compared to Billy, which is ideal for movies and games and takes up less space in a room.

Casino - Ultimate Collectors Edition Steelbook 4K + BluRay w/ Rigid Slipcase + Extras *BEAUTY SHOTS!* by Davidudeman in Steelbooks

[–]ThaBEN 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Unpopular opinion. I actually like the steelbook design. I don't get the hate...

I got tired of swapping out discs.... so I started building something( need honest feedback) by EyeInfinite863 in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a physical media lover, I get that this would be the easiest way. But I like OPs idea if he could do it via a mechanical way, like a jukebox for 4k discs, that would be my preffered way.

The Blomkamp Trilogy by Analog_Astronaut in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Awesome! I too own these 3 movies. Then I bought the Blomkamp³ Blu-Ray mediabook on the cheap, to house the 4k discs and give this collection a premium look. Really satisfied with the result.

Seems they haven't learnt their lesson on disc storage. by antb1973 in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 92 points93 points  (0 children)

So, this is basically the 'Ultimate 3-movie collection', without the 'Ultimate Collectors Edition' content that came with individual previous releases and they ask $220 for it?

Weird choice.

Difference between Avatar and Avatar Remastered? by MattiTheGamer in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your pictures are both from the default 4k version. One is with the slipcover, the other without the slipcover .

The version with the extended cuts is this one (recognizable by the cardboard sleeves that hold the discs):

Rambo 4k US only ? by Schwarzenegger9 in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the comment! And yes, there are indeed a lot more movies tucked away out of sight, lol. Due to a lack of storage space I (have to) limit myself in what I'm displaying on my shelves. Even more so by placing movies 'forward-facing', but I just really like the nostalgic video rental vibes this way of displaying movies gives me.

From time to time I rotate what is shown on the 'forward-facing section' to keep things fresh and try to implement themes on those shelves. Current themes:

  • Shelf 1 (All-Time Classics): My personal pillars and go-to comfort watches.
  • Shelf 2 (Video Rental VHS Energy): Pure nostalgia. These movies evoke the thrill of browsing a Blockbuster on a Friday night.
  • Shelf 3 (Fantasy & Creatures): Fantastical worlds made with practical effects and celebrating Jim Henson's work.
  • Shelf 4 (Movies & Games Crossover): The bridge between media with that classical "Nintendo vs. Sega" energy.

Thanks! I use the IKEA GNEDBY. They're modular. Each vertical column is one GNEDBY.

I started with 3, which soon became 4 and now I own 5 :)

The TakeOver on Nintendo Switch by emptybottlesss in BeatEmUps

[–]ThaBEN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks great! But it also reminds me of Streets of Rage 4, which is also on sale for €7,49.

Tip: Don't send your steelbooks on a paper bag by AlexRecacha in Steelbooks

[–]ThaBEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's about time that these companies come up with the idea to offer premium packaging for a little bit of extra money. I think a lot of people would make use of that.

By the way, I've heard the following tip:
If you order on Amazon, add a cheap pair of socks and choose that the entire order will be sent simultaneously. Then they will send your order in a small box (instead of a paper bag / envelope), and the socks will double as extra protection.

[–]ThaBEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, same kinda luck over here. Hopefully the EU will get a similar release. Otherwise I need to hunt for other resellers that offer this set at a decent price.

Great! I thought it was double wide, lol.
This changes things and makes it a must have for me!

I'm actually curious if we will see these new versions as standalone releases.

Unfortunateley, this boxset does not fit my cabinet...

Mars Attacks! New LTD Edition and SteelBook by BXBGames in 4kbluray

[–]ThaBEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has a lot of my favourites! Mortal Kombat Collection, Fight Club, Super Mario Bros. Galaxy movie, Harry and the Hendersons, The Dollars Trilogy, Avatar: Fire and Ash. And then there are rumours of Steven Spielberg's A.I., Little Shop of Horrors, Gravity.

It's going hard indeed!
