I can see now it's debossed. I think it would've been much nicer embossed

 

[hayemaker]

Not sure what's going on with all this black matte, but these are mostly going to end up in the bargain bin if this carries on.

dayum! That debossed cover!

The puzzle pieces could have done with some debossed treatment. As it stands I won't be ordering this one. Finish looks pretty bad too my eyes again. Zavvi please stop with these black matte steelbooks.

Another plain as hell Steelbook. Front cover is almost laughable imo.

 

[apsmith21]

Staying away from this, too much trouble with black matte steels.

 

[snooloui]

This one is just awful. It needed a title on the cover, the front is just too empty. I'm glad I cancelled.

Twelve monkeys playing the Game = Thirteen monkeys

Waste of space.

 

[Nightowl]

Looks good in the actual pics, IMHO ...

 

[Leshita]

I really like this movie but passing on this. If this had the title on the front I may have purchased it. My Criterion Blu-ray will do for my collection purposes at this time.

 

[Manny10210]

Yeah can't see this selling out for a while, will pick it up when it's cheaper!

 

[NinjaFeetz]

Why do you guys need the title on the front?

 

[number33]

The actual pics look great! Can't wait to finally get it

 

[jayce20]

love it great embossing

thx DB ++

 

[rj531]

disappointing artwork..

 

[ariba266]

I love it. I keep my pre-order.

 

[Steeler]

Why do you guys need the title on the front?

So they can know what film it is without having to tear the collectible shrink wrap?

Joke aside. Featuring the title on the spine and j-card ususally does the trick for me. Unless it's an iconic title design, like 'A Clockwork Orange', in which case I like to see big, fat lettering with embossing/debossing on the front.

I love this movie and the steelbook too.

Will definitely get this when it drops below a tenner. Really like the embossing and like they didn't have to add a border. Great film, hear the transfer's not that great but I need to replace my DVD copy so probably worth getting this eventually.

It's debossed, not embossed (Zavvis own description is wrong). That's why there is no border. Embossing without a border can be done (see Futureshop Hunger Games District 12 steel) but it sticks out and can be susceptible to damage especially if on a shelf between other steels.

I prefer debossing anyway. Much cleaner overall.
