This image was posted on BD by crs. It is tough to tell what the finish is from this angle.

Am I the only one who prefers a matte finish to a glossy finish?

The steelbook definitely feels as though it's missing something... some debossing or an embossed border would have finished it off nicely!

I enjoy both finishes and some steels suit gloss while others suit matte. I reckon this one looks cool with matte and I can't wait to get it, that's for sure

Dispatched :movie:.

I'm a big fan of glossy steels! I just like the way the light hits them and I also feel like the paint is of a higher quality than a matt finish. They seem to last longer and chip less easily.

I like all finishes, depends on the artwork for me and what it suits. This one was crying out for a gloss finish to really flesh out the inky blacks and make the title stand out.

I like it too. Sometimes less is more. I like simple designs. This one does beg for a nice glossy finish though to bring out the inky blacks of the cover art.

copycat

Seriously though, I totally agree. Some artwork works better with a certain finish. This one screams for gloss though. If it ends up being a matte finish, I'll just have to accept it. I'd really prefer it in gloss though. Haha maybe hit it with a layer of hi-gloss clearcoat

 

[Lone Crusader]

To all those who prefer gloss, I recommend some Krylon polyurethane clear spray. It works wonders at making matte surfaces into gloss. muuuhhaaaaaahhahahaha

It would've been sweet if title was embossed like Terminator but despite this, the steelbook looks good to me.

 

[Starling]

I haven't seen this confirmed as matte yet, have I missed something?

 

[CyberAthlete]

Aye, an embossing or debossing would've been nice. At 23.99 it's really expensive. 2.3x more than most steelbooks play.com has produced.

For some reason I feel the higher the budget and the less successful the movie (in terms of box office), the more they have to milk out the revenue from the home market release.

New releases are always more. The Raid was £14.99. That was a single disc.

To put it into perspective, the 3D amaray is £20 at Amazon and that's the cheapest.

just had 4 dispatched emails. Im sure i only ordered 2 in-case 1 was damaged. but obviously i ordered 2 twice! oh well il have something to trade with lol

 

[Scarface]

I like both matte and glossy and a steel is a steel at the end of the day,it beats a normal amaray case that's for sure.

 

[Menouthis]

I like both although at times the glossy finish is a nightmare to take care of (ie. Avengers steelbook).

Shipped

 

[Sir Hilary Bray]

Really looking forward to this, would love it to get here for Saturday night.

Will go down well with a chinese take away.

 

[MrFurious]

mine also shipped last night, most ive paid for a steelbook in a while

 

[Scary Hair]

Shipped YES Take that X factor . I am so Hyped Yes expensive but I saved on NOT going to the cinema so I saved £7 thire at least.

Gloss finish for me would be wrong because nice and glossy holding hands together. As we are picked off one by one and the rest turn on each other in terror.

(That's the type of thing I am hoping for ).

Would for me be WRONG being shinny and nice I like dull and dirty grime in my horror .

Looking forward to the alternate beginning AND end .
