Elevate your media display with new and upcoming steelbooks, complete with limited-edition artwork and premium steel cases.
What is a Steelbook?
Far more than just a standard DVD, a steelbook is a special release of a 4K UHD or Blu-ray disc, or a video game, in a deluxe steel case embellished with exclusive artwork that is often specially commissioned. Steelbooks are the world's most sought-after collectable media packaging, prized by fans who have an appreciation for the nostalgia and artistry of physical discs.
It's the ultimate way to preserve your favourites with high-definition visuals or fall in love with something new by seeing it in its best presentation.
What are the different types of Steelbooks available?
Our steelbooks cover titles in a wide range of genres so there is something for everyone, whether you want the non-stop excitement of action & adventure or the thrilling suspense of horror. You'll also find TV box set steelbooks that will immerse you in your favourite worlds and characters.
We stock a variety of steelbooks with different special features, often including extras you won't find on standard-edition discs.
4K Ultra HD Blu-ray
This is the format which delivers higher capacity than standard Blu-ray discs and maximum resolution with four times the number of pixels. You'll find editions emblazoned with alternate movie artwork you can't find anywhere else.
Blu-ray
Combine the incredible picture and sound quality of Blu-ray technology with the exciting array of steelbook finishes and what do you get? The ultimate way to experience and store the movies and games you love.
Blu-ray Box Set
From the Walking Dead to the Sopranos and Star Trek to Doctor Who, you'll find unforgettable classics in our Blu-ray steelbook box sets. Complete with new artwork and previously unseen bonus features, these limited-edition products are thoughtful gifts for someone crazy about their TV shows.
Blu-ray 3D
Get all the action-packed excitement of 3D viewing and premium aesthetics of special-edition cases with a Blu-ray 3D steelbook. Enjoy an immersive, high-definition TV experience and a collectable addition that will steal the show.
Why buy a Steelbook?
There is no better way to celebrate your fandom than by displaying limited-edition artwork in your home. You can build up a fantastic movie library full of incredible, sought-after collector's items.
While owning a standard DVD, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra disc is enough for many, a steelbook is the ultimate gift for hardcore film enthusiasts. Available in every shape and size, steelbooks are true celebrations of cinema's most crowning achievements.
Can I preorder upcoming Steelbooks
Absolutely; in fact, we recommend it! Sometimes we simply can't wait for our best-loved films to come out as a steelbook and we need to have them as soon as possible. From cult classics offering rare artwork and exciting bonus material to upcoming releases that aren't yet out of the cinema, there are a variety of steelbooks available to order. But our steelbooks tend to sell out quickly, so don't wait!
We aim to dispatch your preorder for the advertised date of release. Of course, there will be instances where this can't happen but we'll do everything we can to ensure it arrives when it should. We recommend that you place your preorder at least 48 hours before the release date to receive it as early as possible.
