Yes, both discs got german (and french) track (DD+7.1)Do both discs got german language on board (4K/2D)?
If people stopped paying it, then Zavvi might stop charging it.
For another €20 you'd get the Blufans edition delivered.....
The Zavvi steelbook wil have a full matte finish and no debossed title. So the Best Buy one is the version to own
esterday, 23Just got mine, no bossing at all, but glossy finish.
@virkia from the second picture it looks like full gloss.
the right hand / second pic - of the U.S. steelbook - is more glossy and definitely looks Full Gloss / "Glossy"
ROW - U.K. etc. - does not look Full Gloss / "Glossy" . . . but looks like "Gloss Varnish"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe not a bad idea to have a quick recap of the usual finishes:
- MATTE: No sheen, Best finish for maximum fine detailed artwork. Streaks can be a problem
- ZERO: Sheen midway between Matte and Glossy. Vast majority of WWA steelbooks supplied with this finish
- SATIN: Sheen similar to Zero but more opaque. Smoother to the touch
- GLOSS VARNISH: More of a sheen than Zero but not as much as Glossy.
GV allows for metallic reflections to shine through unlike Glossy . . . seen here on the red mist when you tilt the steelbook - and on other Gloss Varnish steelbooks where the look of the artwork changes when the steelbook position is altered.
- GLOSSY: Full gloss. No metallic reflections
Unless my eyes are playing tricks on me the difference between the U.S. and the U.K. steelbooks is obvious . . . with the colours on the U.S. steelbook more vibrant etc..
Examples of the difference between the finishes:-
The manufacturer does make a distinction between the two finishes with steelbooks listed as "Gloss Varnish" and others listed as "Glossy".We can have glossy steelbook with metallic reflection. The blufans for exemple (Avengers 2, Guardian of the Galaxy 1 & 2, etc...). I'm not sure gloss warnish and glossy are different...
Looks like a "Gloss varnish" finish - somewhere between full gloss and zero - w/ metallic reflections which are absent on the U.S. steelbook.
Finish not quite the same as the U.S. - pic from @Wootball and @Wreck just for comparison purposes :-

Decent enough steelbook and will sit comfortably with most of the previous THOR UK steelbooks
