I was given the wonderful opportunity to hold a give away for collection of SteelBook cased copies of Sukiyaki Western Django. The contest is being held on my site CollectorsEdition.org.

If you’re not familiar with Sukiyaki Western Django then you should hit up the IMDB page for it as well as the trailer. It’s a spaghetti western with a nearly all Japanese cast Japanese writer/director Takashi Miike. It also stars Quinten Tarrentino and as an added twist it’s completely English language (no dubs, no subs). If you liked Kill Bill or Spaghetti Westerns you’ll probably love this film.

So check it out and sign up on Collector’s Edition for a chance to win a really nice SteelBook collectors set on release day.

I was recently contacted by an employee from the company that makes SteelBook cases for Special Edition DVDs and Games. He was kind enough to send me a number of sample cases and I was kind enough to take lots of pictures and do a write up over on CollectorsEdition.org.

You should go read it, or at very least look at all the great cases I took pictures of.

          

There seems to be a lot of hoopla surrounding a recently published GamePro article, PS3 vs. Xbox 360 ports: The cold, hard truth that compares four recently released cross-platform games. The article concludes that among the four games “PlayStation 3 beats the Xbox 360 handily“.
