I don't get why a matte finish is mostly a negative thing. I think matte is perfect for a film like this, gives it a certain elegance. Clint's this stone-faced rugged tough guy (a true legend and hero of mine :)), so a glossy steel for this wouldn't fit the bill IMHO.
 
Clean lines - simple and effective artwork.
Hence why all your catalogue title's in steelbook form are going for inflated prices at the pre-order stage.

People need to calm down.
One way to shift old discs that they can't give away in Amaray cases I suppose is to put them in premium packaging?
Like the film but cancelled my pre-order last week as "once bitten, twice shy" - too many times have I paid the pre-order price, sometimes with a discount code, but found a month or two later that the price has gone down by a fiveror more (just look at the prices of the four animated features released at the end of March or the recent Gallery 88 range - all GBP 5 cheaper now than at release. . .)
Got to stop being a mug!

Does anyone else have problems with mis-aligned paintwork around the writing? Mine is off, like the X-Files steelbook, and I wondered if it was wort getting a replacement?

It seems to be a problem with a lot of Steelbooks. It is noticeable when there is embossing or the edges of the Steelbook are a different colour to the front and/or back e.g. The Incredibles.
 
I actually really like this. It'll come down in price so waiting on that but the embossing is pretty nice and the debossed (or non embossed, whichever way you look at it) lettering is what sets this apart from the other versions of this.
 
don't know if this is the same as french one but I saw one copy in my FNAC store and wow it's a fantastic steelbook, matte finish w/ embossing all around eastwood face + title I believe

available on amazon.fr as well for 13 €

cheers :p
