PascalCgon - Did that box hold 1 or 2 SBs? Never seen that one before...

 

[SaberTooth]

Mine just came

It held 2. So glad the foam padding was in there otherwise I would have feared the worst. The box almost feels like it got wet and then dried out, if you know what I mean, the cardboard feels more flimsy.

 

[prophecygirl]

Got mine yesterday. Really impressed with this one and looking forward to seeing the film!

 

[ThalliumBook]

For me, steelbook of the year.

I thought they overdid the debossing on the Raid, this one is just right.

It also feels weighty, due to the three discs and booklet.

No sign of mine either but normally I don't get them to approx. 6pm but it us a Saturday so I've given up hope for today

Worse news is that it means it with courier another couple of days which lowers the chance if them arriving in 1 piece

Mine arrived today, looks stunning. Definitely one of the steelbooks of the year for me. Only criticism about my order is this is what state the box was in.

Spoiler

Looks almost as if someone has opened it, thankfully both steelbooks were in perfect condition.

I bet you were thinking the worst when you first saw the box although I have had the same experience a few times now with play the box turns up open at one end? Almost like someone is trying to see what's in there

 

[hitster]

Got mine today!! Such a nice steelbook one of my favourite films and one of the best steels of 2012.

Also loving the additional booklet

 

[Andy CYP]

Sweet FA from Herpes today. Hate them with a passion.

 

[Sigill]

Received mine today, It's very nice but not as amazing as I thought it was going to be. Great price though for a 3 disc Steelbook with booklet!

 

[Menouthis]

Can't wait for mine. Shame about the disc art though. They're kind of ugly. I'm thinking of getting a copy of the US version as well now just to replace the discs. Also, didn't someone mention that there's a difference in the quality of the video? With the US one having a more natural tint whereas this one has green-ish tint?

 

[ThalliumBook]

Haven't we learnt by now they put no effort into the discs.

Fair enough, let's be thankful they haven't stripped down this release like Forrest Gump, Iron Man and Saving Private Ryan.

 

[lgans316]

Steelbook will have a PREMIUM finish - This is wrong and misleading as it looks like yet another normal Steelbook. In fact it doesn't look glossy at all to me except for the embossed portion.

Poor QC on this Steelbook. Check out for hairline scratches and text alignment on the spine.

 

[Stevemartin]

Ordered two and both come with simualer paint scratch in the same place..
Opened one but still like to have a mint one to keep sealed..
Lovey steelbook tho..

 

[DJ IXS]

Am I the only one who is going to swap out the discs with the US version? The only thing that sucks is that the US version is 4 discs. Not sure what I'm going to do about that lol

 

[Smash41]

Mine came and it's dented (3cm indent) on the back :-(
Can't send it back for a replacement as its sold out so i'm going to have to live with it.
It's the only thing I see when I looked at the otherwise fantastic steel.
Oh well......

Smash - keep an eye on the Play site on Monday as there is always the possibility they might have a small amount of stock which they turn back on. Not definite but worth looking out for

Yes, I can't see anything premium either ...
Looks like the spine was stuck in the cutting machine
