Well just got it. Overall, I feel as if it is an expensive steelbook that should've commanded a £17.99 or lower price tag IMO but nevertheless I'm glad to have it
 
Mine arrived in a box with one end crushed. Luckily the steel seemed fine... until I noticed a faint scratch in the corner on the front of the box. Annoying, but not enough for a return. I agree that for the price Id expected more elaborate packaging - em/debossing or gloss... ho hum
 
Mine arrived today, great film but I'm not overly impressed with the steelbook. Mine also has some small scratches on the front at the top but I'm not bothering sending it back. Think I prefer the regular 3D edition with the slipcover!

Edit: Im going to send it back and get the slip edition. Don't think this steel is worth £24 :/

I assume the extra pennies for this steel was for the 3D disc? Glad I have it in the collection all the same...had to see the film, and have the steel!

When I eventually have a 3D setup, I will at least have something worthwhile to watch!;)
 
I just sold the 3D disc on eBay for £17 (including postage) as I don't have a 3D tv, so in all this hasn't cost me that much, especially when this is a new release, so I'm quite happy about paying the high price now :)
 
opened mine today and noticed a vertical line on the spine , anyone else have this same problem? other than that the steelbook is fine so don't know if it's enough for a return
 
You probably have a slashed spine. Lots of people have returned and had no issue, so I would do the same if I was you.

yeah it's the same as the one in your picture but it's less visible and it's just before the letter T , did you return yours?

I am returning mine yea since I'm in the UK not sure how much it would cost to send yours back from Belgium
 
preordered the jbhifi exclusive viva metalcase to go with this edition. hoping for some nice embossing / debossing on it!!!!

Seriously doubt the Oz version will get that treatment when the Play one doesn't.

Hope I'm wrong of course and if the case, I'll be putting in an order.

3d makes me get motion sickness and with this steelbook being quite expensive I also sold the 3d copy as well.
