I'd love it with that artwork, but..is FNAC still the horror show (with delivery) I read about in the retailer section? Or have they gotten better? If I have zero chance of getting an undamaged steel by their delivery, maybe I better wait for a possible GB or eBay....

Sorry if this is a dumb question but will this steelbook be as wide/oversized as it looks in the photo? lol
That's a fair question (with this being a French release!)
Answer: Highly unlikely. Should be a G2. Unless France pulls some weird shite (which they have - see The Dark Knight Steelbook cover). But 90% odds it should be a garden variety G2.

This is good news. If you have reservations about FNAC, and their shipping reputation(as I do)- it appears that Amazon.fr has the same steelbook. There is no cover art on the site, but it has the same release date, so I am assuming it will be the same one. I hope so! And with that art!!

Question is: is FNAC's exactly the same as the Amazon.de and Zavvi?
(Amazon.fr has it too)
Or does it have the dreaded upside down spine?

It should be the same.

Westworld was a WB title, and that had the text the right way round on the spine.

The only WB titles I can think of these days that aren't the same are the DC Comics animated movies and maybe the LOTR films.
