I was very disappointed that I couldn't use it for American Made.

It did work for about a 1/2 hour after going live but you have to be quick to get an order in before Zavvi disable the discount code
Sometimes some pre orders will be disabled as soon as a release goes live

Best to do a pre order before you get Zavvi new steelbook alert email as it's usually disabled by then

Arrived today.
going to be honest, I'm disappointed. Although gloss it's screaming for some embossing. I was under the impression this would be bossed but unfortunately no

i agree + more importantly its not really glossy... reminds of pseudo gloss like zavvi aliens had

The finish looks like either UK Batman Steels or Zavvi Lenticulars. It is is like they did a basic coat and then gave up. Having said that the PQ is an abomination.

Mines definately glossy compared to those you both mention. Much more glossy

...the PQ is an abomination.

Is it any different than any previous Blu-ray release?

OK those pictures from FilmArena, the colours and the finish are much better than the steelbook I received from Zavvi. The Zavvi version isn't glossy like the North American Wonder Woman.
The Zavvi version is more like somebody used the paint from kindergarten class (the stuff you mix with water) but in this case added too much water and then tried to paint over a Delorean.

Anyway I don't know how else to describe it. Seems like I can see the bare steel coming through the thin paint.

### so many underwhelming steels in the city these days,,, ###

 

[Stygian]

Same disc I believe.

Well I thought that's what I read somewhere, that it hasn't been re-mastered or anything.

@Flloydo

So, honestly, does this look worse than what you received?
