I believe you, that's why I asked for pictures, in the hope I (and maybe others) could see that transposed in pictures too...
Maybe some "not straight" ("askew"?) to capture the surface and the finish, or some "in hand actually" pictures would say more...
Around the 10 minute mark you can get a look at how the Speed Best Buy SteelBook looks out of the package. Looks shiny. This actually looks pretty decent.
