too bad its not glossy, otherwise i would jump on it, maybe later on to a discounted price but not for retail....

I see no shiny metallic effects, very disappointing. :-(

Looks to be a Zero Finish going by fingerprints can be got when touching the steelbook

A matte finish usually don't attract fingerprints

Isn't this your own photos? So you already have it yourself, so why the guessing?

Zero Finish and Matte can be hard to tell apart sometimes

This steelbook attracts fingerprints so most likely is a Zero Finish

Were you eating any greasy finger food before handling your steelbook?

Matte finish you don't get fingerprints

Right, but zero finish is matte by default, isn't it?
If it's glossy, it's no longer 'zero' finish in my opinion.

Zero Finish is not a Matte Finish
They are a different varnish

Never seen that specs chart before! But reading those descriptions, there's no wonder the majority of studios go with a matte finish... on paper it sounds like the better/safer option. Also... matte is European only??

Yep I had the same opinion about why the studios go with matte. And yeah about the matte being European only.

That's interesting, now we (I) can say to anyone, moaning the steelbook is 'streaky matte with zero finish', because it's not embossed or spot glossed, that it's actually a particular finish, called 'matte', and a European exclusive to boot.

Oh, and even zero finish, is actually a "Zero varnish", also a finish, a special kind, "almost invisible"... yeah, like in the Emperor's New Clothes tale.

And.... there we go. Item arrived with customs in my country. Already fulfilled their form and most likely at the end of next week - thursday, friday, i'll get it so untill then i'll have to wait in what kind of state shipment arrived .

 

[5t33lb0y]

Got it today and thank god - no dents, spine slash, dings, scratches...

But on another note, one of steels which i got today, along this one, got dented big time on front. It was old steelbook edition from original Kickboxer from Zavvi.
