So the guns basically are shiny metal right? Kind of like how it is bare metal on the blu-ray steelbook of Faster on his biceps?

Yes, you noticed that too on Faster? That steel is simply brilliant. The guns on this Darkness 2 cover are like that and also like the BB Fast Five cover.

This is what they look like "in the flesh":

Absolutely love it!

The title is debossed as well

The nl version of fast five has it too
Much cleaner cover
Faster is just simply awesome
Pick away at them on the cheap

yep, BestBuy Fast Five does that...it's the "bling bling" effect

Here are list of others giving that same effect...

Planet of the Ape (french version)
Fast Five (netherland version)
Let The Bullet Fly (china version)
Lord of the Rings (War in the North PS3)
Devil May Cry 4 (USA PS3)
Romeo Juliet (ironpack)
Moulin Rouge (ironpack)

interesting, my Soul Calibur IV doesn't give that bling effect...hmmmm It's only debossed..but not the bling.

Check out Final Destination 4 3D (DE) - the skull and rifles!

That's really what it is - the debossing effect can be glossy or shiny.

 

[MayFlower]

I guess we are listing two different things here

glossy vs. bling effect are different. I was giving a listing of bling effect..not glossy effect

The whole Soul Calibur IV has a glossy artwork...no bling effect.

Me too but it was a freebie and I was shocked that this title even existed as a steelbook. It is actually skull and glass pieces, not rifles.

 

[Awkward]

One of my lights in the room shines towards the spines of my steels on the shelf, just noticed the "II" part of the title has that bling effect in red! The more I look at this steel the more badass it gets

 

[biscuitnoir]

Care to take pictures and share them?

 

[Awkward]

Can't seem to capture it on my cruddy phone

 

[Awkward]

Managed to sort of get one that shows it Not very well tho

 

[biscuitnoir]

Very nice! Can't wait for my 7 copies now

 

[Liad32989999990111]

Man I love that Death Race. Sticks out really good.

Oh btw just got my order today. Damn these are nice looking. WOW!!!!

 

[biscuitnoir]

Can't wait to receive my copies. No idea when they'll arrive, the DHL tracking doesn't show any movement I'll probably receive the HK release before, even tho I've ordered it a week after these!

 

[MayFlower]

I just received this today, pretty impressive use of bling effect. - both guns, the dragon eyeball, AND the the face behind his seat/head. I didn't noticed there was a face behind him until I moved it against the light.

Too bad no internal artwork, but the bling effect and debossed make it a winner.

Got mine today as well! All I have to say is...folks, this is one of the most beautiful video game Steelbooks ever made. Like, ever. Even if you're ONLY a G2 collector or whatever....this is the sort of Steelbook that you just have to own regardless. This is the kind of Steelbook that makes G2 collectors start collecting G1s...it's THAT awesome. In fact, i may get a second copy just for the heck of it!

I literally inspected mine for 5 straight minutes, but Amazon.de had it packed in a box shell (especially made for Steebook cases), then packed in another box...mine was in absolutely perfect condition!!! I put it in a plastic sleeve right away.
