Looks like AmazonJP will also release the same steel.

Top contender for ugliest steelbook of 2019

Maybe an April Fools joke? Anyway, I quite like it tbh, as long as it’s not streaky matt

Keeping up the tradition of unspectacular WWA "Alien" steelbooks . . . at least it's confirmed gloss finish.

Glossy poop....is just poop with gloss on it.

I think this is as good as we're going to get for a 4k steelbook for Alien. Shame but dire art seems to be the norm these days.

Same here. Hoping it will arrive Saturday, otherwise it won't be until Tuesday (no Monday deliveries next week as a Bank Holiday here in the UK).

Just arrived - far better than expected. Full gloss and metallic accents takes the edge off the colours and makes it much more in keeping.

Haven't ordered this yet but based on this pic courtesy DVDFantasium looks like one of the better if not the best of all the WWA steelbooks for ALIEN (and the others in the saga):-

2d disc same old one, or newly remastered?

What I've read 4K is worth the cash ...

I did a side by side with the previous blu ray yesterday. It IS worth the cash if you're a massive Alien fan and are into 4k, but the blu ray still looks excellent if you're on the fence.

I'm both.

I've always said, make it glossy and embossed and it will be 10x better. The exception being when they use a turd of an artwork like this, looks awful
