BEST BUY Americas edition 2 discs (including DVD which is not unusual):-
5249800_sa.jpg;canvasHeight=216;canvasWidth=500

Big thumbs-up for the colouring of the discs for obvious reasons.

U.K. / Euro edition is also 2 discs - judging by the images on Zavvi's / CDON's sites - so unlike the U.S. in this case it will most likely be 1 x 3D, 1 x 2D BDs . . . or less likely 3D/2D on disc one with Extras on disc two.
Confusing as listed as 1 BD elsewhere and pictured with 1 BD on Scanavo's site for the Euro edition.

"Attack on Titan" = Zero finish (not Gloss)

What is the "zero-finish"?
Pour expliquer cette finition, on dit en général qu'il s'agit d'un intermédiaire entre mat et verni (glossy).
To explain this finish, we say in general that this is an intermediary between matte and lacquered (glossy).

En effet, si le mat de base se contente d'une simple impression, le zero-finish a une couche supplémentaire qui permet d' accentuer les contrastes et de faire ressortir les couleurs et les noirs .
While the base matte is satisfied with a single print, zero-finish has an extra layer that allows an increase of contrast and bring out the colors and the blacks.

Un peu les qualité du glossy , mais avec moins de reflets brillants et moins de traces de doigts !
A little of the gloss quality, but with less and less bright reflections fingerprints!

Le Zero finish a aussi une bonne résistance au rayures.
The finish Zero also has good resistance to scratches.
Comparative Clash of the Titans: Steelbook matte-finish VS zero







Les photos parlent d'elles même.
The pictures speak for themselves.

Nous avons à gauche le steelbook mat ressorti en Amérique à bas prix, et à droite le steelbook original exclusif Future Shop.
We have on the left the matte Steelbook from American, and on the right the original exclusive Steelbook Future Shop.

Le mat simple, sans aucune finition en fait, est plutôt fade à côté de l'édition zero-finish qui “claque” plus.
The simple mat, without actually finishing is rather bland next to the zero-edition finish that "slaps" more.

Some recent decent Zero finish steelbooks:-
ATTACK ON TITAN: PART 1
UNFORGIVEN
EVEREST
BATMAN BEGINS
THE DARK KNIGHT RISES
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
. . . and decent . . . hopefully . . .

Anyone notice that the huntsman is looking downwards on the German steelbook and looking straight ahead on the French and UK steelbook
