So just to clarify which is it? embossed or debossed?

As clarified in the post above yours, and in the pictures mentioned, it's embossed like Alien 3 and not debossed like Aliens.

The border and embossed title definitely works with these. Big pity Aliens wasn't the same.

I agree... these look great! Very big shame they didn't do the same for the Aliens steelbook.

 

[digitalbabe]

Looks good-ship already!

Mama is waiting!

 

[tpapas25]

Aliens wasn't debossed.

I think the Alien steelbooks are somewhat cheap because they're missing the two bonus discs from the anthology box set.

I know right, it's like their X-Men and Die Hard range all over again

Sorry to clarify when I said debossed, I meant it was debossed around the title and with a border. I got 'told off' a couple of time on some of these threads for describing something as embossed when 'technically' that's not what's going on...but yeah I'd called it embossed in reality because that's what the text has had done to it. Calling it debossed actually makes it sound like the text itself has been debossed. It's a bit of a Catch-22...

So yeah, can we actually call it embossed? Debossed is more like the recent Red 2 steelbook or something.

Anyway, a nice steelbook (but as I said before, no way am I spending just under £20 on it).

Glad you got the pics up before me..
I was still in shock it had arrived on a Thursday...
It's very nice in hand but why emboss the Title then not do it for Aliens..

 

[extrafuzzyllama]

disappointed it doesn't match up with the zavvi exclusive as far as debossed border
