- Welcome back to a new episode of Steelbook Hunting In CEX
So many people don't know that CEX will sell the steelbook version of a game for the same price as the standard version, of course there are some exceptions, but this is true 99% of the time.
So in this series I will be travelling all over the U.K visiting different CEX stores to try and find awesome steelbooks to add to my collection!
First up in this episode we hit up Ipswich, where I find what is quite possibly one of the best value steelbooks I have ever seen in CEX as well as a steelbook which has me conflicted on wether to pick it up.
Then we’re off to Stratford where I find a goldmine of Xbox 360 steelbooks, and as and these are getting harder to find, this is a great thing to see.
Finally in my local CEX here in the fine city of Norwich I find a steelbook which I have been searching for for years!
Also in this episode we have a bonus bargain steelbook eBay find and even better, YOU can also grab this for super cheap!

Let me know what steelbooks you’ve found recently in CEX in the comments down below so I know what to keep an eye out for in the future!

So many awesome steel books, great finds 💪🏽
Thanks I was very pleased with my finds this time!
That lost planet steelbook has its own listing on the site at £6 so you've caught them out there
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll have to keep an eye out to see if they make this mistake again!
I've started collecting Xbox 360 steel books. So far got
* Black ops 1 and 2,
* Stranglehold,
* BIA Hells highway,
* Project dark zero
* Prince of Persia
Some great titles right there! Have you not seen Bioshock or Turok yet as like I said they seem fairly common.
Keeping my eye out for Turok, but played Bioshock so many times not too bothered for it.
Pretty rare I see steel books in CEX and those I do are usually in pretty rough condition,
Some stores definitely seem to have more steelbooks than others and I have seen a decline in the numbers I see in the recent year sadly
Sod steelbooks you should have picked those PS4 Fallout 4's for £2 lol, easy future credit...Nice pick ups...
In hindsight I should have grabbed them, I’m wondering if the same thing will happen with the Borderlands games when the movie is released?
I've never really looked at steel books much though I do own a few - Lost Planet, Forza 4 Ltd Collectors Edition & GTA V Special Edition on PS3 and Driver parallel lines on PS2. I might start looking at them to replace standard titles in my collection though.
They’re definitely worth checking out as like I’ve said many times before most of them are absolutely beautiful and have alternative designs to the classic cover of the games
Slight correction, but Lost Planet 1 did eventually make it to the PS3 also. It was a timed exclusive on the 360. :)
Thanks I never knew it got a PS3 release. Did they make a PS3 steelbook?
Not to my knowledge, at least I've never seen one. I only really know it exists as I'm going for a full PS3 set and it's in my current collection. :)
@@adycakes5335 nice, that’s a very big challenge there and only going to get harder in the next few years.
How many games have you found so far?
@@DanTheGamesMan, my current total is 1029 although that does include some cover variants. So it's like more like 1000.
Thankfully I do have most of the heavy hitters already, but there are still some that I need to source.
I'm also a Norwich local like yourself, I'll say hello next time I see you in the Re-use shop or out & about. :)
@@adycakes5335 wow that’s a very impressive number and my next question is do you have many of the heavy hitters!
Glad to see another local to Norwich, I wondered why there was never any good PS3 games around lol 😂
Come say hi if you ever see me 👋
my favourite sleet book in my collection is halo 2 for Xbox i love how they made it look rusty
That is a great Steelbook and one I remember picking up on launch day lol.
There wasn’t many Steelbooks for the Xbox but the ones they did where amazing!
If I had space, I’d be tempted to pick up steelbooks. Nice haul!
Thanks! They can take up a lot of space as for a lot of the games I do have the standard copy also.
But.
They’re just so beautiful lol
@@DanTheGamesMan For sure! I literally own one steelbook. Found it in a charity shop for £1 years ago - not even a game, but Karate Kid 1, 2 & 3 in a gorgeous steelbook, I couldn’t leave it behind. To this day, still not found a suitable place to display it, but so glad I own it. I may be tempted to pick more up if I find them in the wild now though after watching this series! Keep up the good work bud, you’re inspiring me for sure ;)
@@RetroMattUK thank you that’s what I aim for, to inspire people with their collections!
I love the Karate Kid films and that sounds like an awesome steelbook box set! Thanks for watching!
Hey great video as always n I’ve just went on eBay to make it 9 steelbooks to my collection, I’d love to see u do a few videos on ur steelbook collection by console
Thanks! Glad your also building your steelbook collection, what games did you buy?
I’m planning to do a video on all my steelbooks in the future, probably when I reach a milestone like 100 steelbooks.
@@DanTheGamesMan wwe 2k17, fallout 4, saints row, gran Turismo sport, gta 5, hitman, final fantasy 15, street fighter 5 and killzone shadow fall
@@GammyGamer626 wow some great games there and some steelbooks I also need for my collection!
Keep looking for the cyberpunk steelbooks I got one after a long time in my local and it was in a slip case I think it was a mismatch of normal slip case from a standard game and a steelbook from the collectors edition 🤣
Thankfully I got one at launch but it’s always worth keeping an eye for steelbooks hiding in slipcases
That BioShock steelbook i got for £2 delivered from ebay about three years ago 😂
Haha wow that is cheap! I remember when people pre ordered it 😂
Still all jokes aside, amazing game!
I'm sure it was music magpie as well...yh just checked it's £3.89 free delivery even now!!
@@j1m909 haha well it’s cheaper than CEX lol
Hey is there any chance you are near Ipswich or can possibly go back im too far away to drive and I’m desperate for the ghost of Tsushima steelbook I’ve needed it in my collection for years but haven’t found the perfect copy if you can’t that’s perfectly fine x
I’m not unfortunately. But it is somewhere I visit fairly often so if I do visit again soon, or see it anywhere else I can grab it for you!
My cex only 236 xbox games never notice any metal cases mostly buying xbox 360 on eBay at the moment I have 3 rare games Dan
That’s very impressive to build an Xbox collection of that size using just CEX!
Which 3 rare games do you have?
It’s definitely getting harder to find Xbox 360 steelbooks these days sadly
@@DanTheGamesMan never Dead, Onchanbara and Alice isnt easy to get in mint condition
@@darrenhitchen247 3 very good games there especially Onchanbara, it’s a great time to get those heavy hitters now as the prices will only go up in the future
@@DanTheGamesMan Dan I nearly bought Alien Breed as well but no manual
@@darrenhitchen247 shame about the manual that’s going to be a hard one to find very soon
did you see the absolutely battered god of war collection in ipswich? 😂😂
I don’t think it was there when I was thankfully lol.
I hope no one got it in a CEX lottery 🤦♂️
Was there PS3 steal books?
There was quite a few I’ve found so far…
@@DanTheGamesMan Just wondering I never saw one in the wild.
@@ComeOnMacOS I don’t see them very often but I think I have around 10 so far…
