I’ve only seen the finish through the tears in the one above, but it looks glossy. What is the finish?Got my copy, so so Steelbook but it will do for now. I thought it would be a total gloss but not
Kind of metallic with some spot gloss.Picked up my copy and of course the plastic has tears (though otherwise fine). 2 Stores later I found a copy with no tears. Guess I’ll return the other next time I’m close to Best Buy - I didn’t feel like going back in to return the first one.

I think it's better.

Looks closer to zero finish. I have one in hand. Doesn't attract finger prints. I intentionally touched it firmly and the imprint is there for a second but disappears the same way the fog in your bathroom mirror goes away once exposed to drier air. The color makes it a little more difficult to differentiate between the two finishes.Nice looking SteelBook. Reviewer says glossy and it looks glossy to me.
The US/CA version is 100% glossy. No arguments. Its got metallic effects and isn't the thickest gloss, but it's full gloss.

You're correct. Zero is very similar to matte. It feels the same, just looks slightly better. The US is usually lucky and have quite a thick gloss layer, this is more in line with a EU/UK thinner "gloss varnish". It's still full gloss though regardless.I have one in hand also. I thought the fingerprints weren't visible either after deliberately trying to leave them.
Then I looked closer under a lightbulb. They're visible at certain angles.
I believe zero finishes have a look that resembles matte finishes but I understand that people have different opinions.
Good observation. I have plenty of gloss steels and never had to shine light on it to find it. They are usually easy to detect and end up being very messy.I have one in hand also. I thought the fingerprints weren't visible either after deliberately trying to leave them.

Just for the record, I have zero problems with the finish...

Yes this was always definitely gloss. Honestly anyone debating it didn't have a clue what they were talking about according to scanavo, the UK/EU release is unfortunately zeroDefo gloss. Hope the U.K. is the same. Doubt it though
