My copy just departed from Osaka and arrived in Cincinnati somehow in a day, according to DHL. I should have this in hand by the end of the week =)

^^Matte or glossy?

The steel looks like it has a matte finish.
Doesn't matter I'm going to order one.

Looks matte. If it is I'm pretty disappointed, to be honest. I thought for sure this would have a high-gloss finish.

Im assuming its the same finish as Lockout JP. Not bad but credits on the front cover?

I just noticed that. WTF?
Is this a first for Japan?

The back art looks really washed out compared to the mock-up picture. We've been getting fooled here lately...

Hopefully it will look loads better in hand.

Matte = Lifeless colors.
Glossy = Vibrant colors.

I'm still surprised some ppl like matte finishes.

matte steelbooks are killing this hobby for me.

Is it region locked?

I was really hoping this would be a glossy finish, but for some reason, I had expected a matte finish. Looks matte to me. I'm not disappointed, as this still looks like one sweet steelbook. No regrets on the purchase and still very much looking forward to getting my copy.

Also, yeah, I just noticed the credits and stuff on the front cover too. That's certainly an... interesting decision to say the least.

If you don't like the credits on the front keep it sealed!!

 

[goufcustom]

Yeah... Just noticed they putting the credit on the front...not so crazy about that at all...

TBH, i really hate glossy finish, it looks cheap. Thank goodness this steel has matte finish.

 

[pbtour4il]

It is matte!

 

[grow]

Oh dear. I don't like the look of this. I think it is going direct to ebay!

 

[ocielz]

Looks good to me plus it has 7.1 and NeoX audio

 

[grow]

My US 3D Dredd has dts 7.1 and Neo X, that's not such a big deal.

why keep it sealed? I can't read Japanese and you can't watch it.
