Looks ok but gather it has no embossing like previous steelbook from 2013

I cancelled my order last week as I already have the 2013 steelbook and was waiting to see in hand photos to decide if I double dip
I will not be getting this new steelbook as in my opinion the 2013 looks better

If blu-ray in the steelbook had of had new remaster and new extras then I would have purchased again but it has same disc as 2013 steelbook

For those that missed out on the 2013 steelbook it's still a good alternative

Yeah no embossing on front bit of a let down but still looks pretty decent though

meh, ordered for the case they improved on the first release by adding full gloss... shouldve known better

I managed to get the Fnac FuturePak and it's incredible, much better than this. The original and FuturePak is the way to go

Hmm looks nice with the finish. Even no bossing is needed in my opinion.

 

[Hereticz]

Hmm OK, gloss help it a lot, maybe I will get this one afterall lol

 

[tha_lunatic]

I own the original release and bought the re-release because of the different back artwork.

 

[Lollard2002]

My copy arrived today and I have to admit it's a lovely steelbook. Was not expecting such a lovely finish.

 

[hatredhorror]

oh, it IS full gloss.. thats a nice surprise then!

 

[MM3]

I'd rather have a nice glossy steelbook with no embossing/debossing than an embossed/debossed steelbook with matte finish, but that is just my preference.

Me too......

Maybe a Black Friday price drop?!

I'm happy enough with the original steel, but this one turned out pretty nice also.

Note that although the UK Limited Edition includes corrected audio and the original mono track, it only includes the cut version."
