- germany pitch black steelbook
really a nice looking steelbook. will be a nice birthday present from me to me 
Not bad, although no title on front again
Looks like Universal have abandoned titles altogether now, with the odd exception.
Because of stuff like this I've abandoned steelbooks altogether, with the odd exception
V. smart and effective in a clean minimalist way and, yes, pitch black it almost is ...
Some of those that went before (all with titles but not just titles ... loads of other print - these early steelbooks w/ fully printed backs etc. really put meaning into the term 'steel-book' and now look decidedly old-fashioned compared to this latest sleek new panther-like almost print-free offering:-

Price €20.24 
Thought zavvi's listing at £23.99 was a temporary place holder, beginning to wonder now.
This hobby is getting way to expensive, I'm mean come on this is standard blu-ray release no 3D or 4K and probably flat and matte finish judging by no title of front.
So new pricing for 2019 is around £20 for barebones crappy catalogue title and £30 ish for new 4K releases which are getting pushed upon more and more.
Remember only paying £10 for this from play.com!
Think I'm going to be more selective and risk loosing out on a few waiting for price drops.

Unboxing video:
The German version has some nice embossing.

They should have done the goggles on the back also.
Looks like it might have more of a zero finish than the UK one too.....
