hold on, so this is the same as the Zavvi version?

No, Canadian and US both have the title on the front.

Does anybody have any update on the finish, will it be Matte or Glossy?

I'm kind of mixed about the artwork..... I like the idea of it as the Walkman plays a large part of the movie, but there was so many superb posters and artwork made for the movie that there could've been a truly fantastic steelbook made. However, I will be having this

In the Future Shop Thread:

My understanding is that our version has spot gloss on the glass overtop the tape

And both versions are the same.

The 'glass window' of the Walkman on the front really looks debossed.

That art card is the deal breaker for me

Looking forward to getting this and watching it again (hopefully over the Xmas period)

Trying to determine if it's worth it to just wait for this to release at best buy which is literally down the street from me. Or if I should get the UK version only because it comes out two weeks earlier than the BB version. I'll pay $50 for the Zavvi one but will have it earlier or pay $27.99 and wait an extra two weeks. The artwork is the same on both also.

Artwork is different, as the BB and Futureshop ones will have the title on the front; the UK one won't. The UK one won't have the better J-Card either

Oo yea that's right! I forgot the title will be on front for US and Canada. But as far as waiting or being impatient and paying more I think I'll just get the BB version. I'll just have to wait 2 weeks to watch it as opposed to getting it the 24th of Nov.

Day 1!

The dilemma of getting this to watch the movie again with all its extras or hold out for a better artwork steel.

There's no guarantee that another steelbook will be released..... although nothing is for certain

Not only that, but there's no guarantee that the artwork will be better. Especially when dealing with Marvel who is very strict on approving different artwork.

I'm starting to really like the cassette artwork, especially with the title. Although, I will probably hate the spine (hopefully it's not off like CAtWS)

I kind of like the digital release cover a little more, though:

 

[charleybusko]

I still don't admire the artwork... I'm gonna get it because the BB release will be the cheapest worldwide. Even if the BB version is glossy, has awesome industry defining debossing, and applies the best quality control work with no flaws, it's still an awful looking steel. Nice slip by the way.

Totally agree

Anyone else happen to catch the picture of the steel on kimchi, I noticed today when I was on the site or the Iron Man steel, it looks like a clear slip that shows the title on the side and some other, I kinda like this slip better.

Korea has done this with Monsters U, Frozen, Thor 2 and Cap America 2. Offered the clear slip with title, spine treatments, etc. They have all turned out nice so far

OH YEAH!!!
