Nope, I didn't. Zavvi, HMV and Amazon... they all have their faults as companies do, but I did find it a bit unusual that the heading appears to be pushing the Zavvi version. I've always appreciated this forum on giving great, impartial advice, the GB's etc and did find it odd. How does one ask the Mods to rectify it? Cheers.
Marion's in this so that means PA will do this one too, right? Right? With a nice turquoise cursive font. 
Missed it at the cinema but I'm reminded of Valhalla Rising when I think of the trailers so I think I'm in for one of these... I wouldn't mind a little cheaper though!

Damn, I was really hoping this would have a full gloss finish, I think the artwork needed it. @BluSteel2012 Would you say its a good matte finish or the standard cheap kind? I still think the amaray art is much nicer too, oh well. 
Sorry mate I didn't get this. I found these pics on Instagram. I'm sure we'll see better ones soon.Damn, I was really hoping this would have a full gloss finish, I think the artwork needed it. @BluSteel2012 Would you say its a good matte finish or the standard cheap kind?

I actually really love this Macbeth steelbook. Really enjoyed the movie too. Will await a cheeky little price drop first but will definitely be getting this.
@BluSteel2012 Oh that's fair enough, hopefully its a nice matte varnish finish or something along those lines, but Studiocanal are so much more miss than hit I'm not gonna bet on it.
Looking at in-hand pics a few posts above this one all I can say is that they look pretty poor finish-wise for a penny shy of 20 quid each 
If it's a joke I freely admit to not really seeing the funny side . . .
Reminded of the inimitable Terry-Thomas and one of his best known quotes come to mind - "What an absolute shower !" - and I'll leave it at that.
(The more modern Aussie slang version - "What a shower of sh** !" meaning "A pile of second-rate things" is also relevant to these steelbooks. . .)
Nothing new about, or wrong with, "big head" front artwork which goes back to the days of SALT in 2010 (and maybe even before. . . but can't be bothered to check) to this one and beyond with examples in-between listed in no particular order or preference:- THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU, STAR TREK XI (black ed.), HANNA. BOURNE TRILOGY, THE FRIGHTENERS, TERMINATOR SALVATION, MALEFICENT, PREDATOR 3D, THE PUNISHER 2004, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2, LA HAINE, AVATAR 3D, PROMETHEUS (Play.com), HUNGER GAMES COLLECTION, THE MARTIAN, INFERNO, STAR WARS 1 through 6, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS (newer release), X-MEN: THE WOLVERINE, X-MEN: DAYS OF FUTURE PAST, LEON, SERPICO, DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, THE FLY 1958, MINORITY REPORT, STAR TREK XI (Nero), LUCY, SPIDER-MAN TRILOGY, SIN CITY, GODZILLA, PREDATOR 1 & 2, THE TERMINATOR, HARRY'S WAR, UNKNOWN, 300, THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND, UNDER THE SKIN, 28 WEEKS LATER, GRAN TORINO, SCREAM, GLADIATOR, MALEFICENT, AVATAR (original release), THEY LIVE, TERMINATOR 3, 30 DAYS OF NIGHT, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 1, 2 & 3, HANCOCK et al.
Not forgetting two of the futurepacks - WESTWORLD and ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST.
RDIT 1/2: Scratch negative comment about "Sicario" as just watched an unboxing video and can see better what the artwork is about (even though I won't be buying it at this point in time).
This one, though not the worst around, leaves a lot to be desired ()IMO).
Any spot gloss on this like on "The Gunman" to give it a bit of life ?
