How many Blu-ray steelbooks are there?

How many Blu-rays have been released with the steelbook packaging? Nicholasprado (talk) 00:49, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Trying to remember a video game.

It was from my childhood, I can remember that it was a fighting game, and to select your fighter there would be a wheel of fighters to select from. I'm quite sure it was a PlayStation 2 title. Thanks! Nicholasprado (talk) 00:52, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

For questions like this, it's much more helpful for you to roughly estimate the years you played this game, rather than saying "from my childhood", when we don't know when that was. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 01:03, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

It's more of a sphere than a wheel, but maybe you mean Capcom vs Marvel 2?

We may not know when the OP was a child, but the PS2 was released in 2000 and succeeded by the PS3 in 2006 (though PS2 games continued, though with less hype]. I assume "in my childhood" means more than five years ago, but may be wrong. Kind of narrows it down. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:45, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Would it be Guilty Gear XX by chance? There is also the List of fighting games if you need it. uhhlive (talk) 14:27, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I only played it briefly in my childhood, when I played this game it was probably during the early 2000's, when I was of six or so years. Also more details on the wheel, I remember it would be going around the players, acting sort of as a hoop surrounding the player, also I don't remember if this was any mainstream game, and it would be wrong to eliminate the possibility that it was a PlayStation 1 game instead. To respond to those who have suggested some titles already, those games do not seem to be the one I am thinking of, but thanks for your efforts. Nicholasprado (talk) 22:46, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Can you recall whether it was a Japanese game or not? Not language-wise, necessarily, but anime-style? InedibleHulk (talk) 22:58, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Actually I do think the game was more Japanese themed charactors. Ryu might've been one of the charactors, but I'm not entirely sure. Nicholasprado (talk) 23:54, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Andrea Pirlo

Is it truth that Andrea Pirlo is gonna leave the National Team after Brazil 2014?? Miss Bono ^[zootalk]☆ 16:29, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

We cannot tell the future, and hence we cannot possibly confirm any rumours you may have heard to this effect. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 16:48, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I've heard that he told that. Miss Bono ^[zootalk]☆ 16:55, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Pirlo has been quoted as saying that he will not play for Italy after the 2014 FIFA World Cup. - Cucumber Mike (talk) 17:11, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Thanks! Well, I guess I won't see my fav player in my fav team anymore :( Miss Bono ^[zootalk]☆ 17:34, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Age and retirement come to us all but you still have more than a year of enjoying his play on the national team so don't be too sad. MarnetteD | Talk 17:38, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, and he will still play for Juventus, my fav FC! Yay! Miss Bono ^[zootalk]☆ 17:39, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
