got mine today
a few paint scuffs, and a faded spot where the small square at the top of the left side off the plastic was but its all good. I love how its debossed on the title!

Mine had that faded spot too, from the sticker that was on the shrinkwrap I guess. The debossing is very nice with the deep black color of the steel, its awesome, I love black steels!

I'm not liking the printed back at all....I may have to trade this one and pic up the French version. Pretty good flick though, but a bit of a regurgitation of the JC version.

I just ordered this earlier at 17.95 and came home and saw the price dropped. Good thing I had it on order with the Matrix Trilogy, because it didn't ship out. I re-ordered at the lower price and cancelled the original order

I had similar issue and emailed them today. Hopefully they will sort it out for me. 4 small paint chips and after opening the left side of steelbook is little deformed.

Glad amazon.de dropped the price.

I cancelled my order due to price decrease and design. I will probably go with the French one.

 

[Henke007]

Great price for a copy to open and keep the FR sealed

 

[Shanester]

Great price but I'm just going to stick with my French one. Too much crap on the back

Sometimes it pays to have a pre-order for something else on the horizon I've had this on order for ages, the only thing left to be released is Sin City. Looking forward to testing out amazons price guarantee

I have a few things to clarify about the "Price Guarantee" of Amazon. I'm almost sure this offer eligible only upon items that are still available to pre-order and correct me if you know otherwise.

You can check your order at the "My Account" section at Amazon, and the price should has been already updated automatically. In addition, there were a problem while back with the price updates as part of the price guarantee, because of the differences between the initial price of the item to the actual price after vat fees reduction/changes. So even if the price changed at your order details, you should check if it's now approximately 12.09 EURO (as you live in the UK) and not more than that.

EDIT: But even if the price didn't get updated at your outstanding order, you may send Amazon's customer service an E-mail and ask them to do so, which they will gladly should do.

Thanks Murdock, you are totally correct

"Pre-order Price Guarantee: The price of a product which appeared not to change from the time of reservation until the release date."

I'll drop them an email as some of the items are lower than current price & others higher. I can but ask

Sorted. 1 email and 15 mins later it's 12 Eur for me too. I can live with a printed back at that price

Mine came with few manufacturing defects so I have contacted them and they asked me to send it back for either refund or replacement...Hopefully they will be able to refund me as someone has already secured me a copy from amazon....

I contacted them too and they shipped out a replacement yesterday but since the steelbook seems sold out on their webiste i'm afraid they will sent me a return from someone else
