I think the artwork is weak for these. Prob be a no for me

 

[snooloui]

Same as the Amaray artwork

It is not surprising considering it is EiV. I think we should be more concerned with the possibility of a printed back and/or no inside artwork.

I like them, but only for £6.99, with 10% discount, so looks like I'll eventually get em!

 

[BookofSteel]

best looking artwork IMO
like it

 

[badgerman]

Prefer the art on the Canadian release, weak from Zavvi.

 

[Noodles]

Art is nothing special... I'll be sticking with my CA steel too.

 

[davetherave]

Yeah.....im gonna stick with my CA version

 

[SteelbookGenius666]

Shame, standard Amaray art, bit lazy IMO...

Agree with all 3 of you guys, will be sticking with this I think!

EiV played it safe, which is probably the best way to play. If they used unconventional artwork this thread would be inundated with complaints.

I love this movie, but not paying over the odds for catalogue titles anymore. So will wait for a price drop

with full gloss, a debossed title, inside artwork and clean back it could be good.
otherwise its a 4.99 steelbook.

I already have the German Warner Steelbook which is identical to the North American release. I also happen to like the artwork on this one. Not prepared to pay full price for it but at some time in the not too distant future, the price will undoubtedly fall, at which point I shall happily double dip.

Same artwork as the German dvd steel...

im not paying the £10 'early adopter tax' .. i'l wait until its £6.99. bare-bones catalogue release is not worth premium price.

in 2015 im not being suckered like i was this year

The early bird catches the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese

The mock up pic for this looks to purposefully have a 'shine' effect to it (If you particularly look at Leo-where the names are, from his shoulder down there is different levels of blackness). Was this always the case with this particular artwork or is it to indicate the Steelbook may be glossy??

 

[Prazzers]

I LOVE this movie but this artwork (like Gangs of New York) is dull, this is the same cover as the amaray release in Canada. I was really hoping for something new and unique.

Wouldn't be too bad if they took off all the names and just had the title. But yeah I'm happy sticking with my CA steel
