So again, all the people that will be the first to receive this today are the ones who never open them!!

Mine just arrived this morning. Surprisingly for Zavvi, it came in one of those crappy brown A1 mailers, the kind Amazon UK tend to use, with no kind of protection lining the inside. There's no actual damage to the steelbook thankfully, but I'm absolutely not happy with them shipping it out with zero padding.

Don't wanna hear about packaging woes right now. What is the finish like and how about some pics!

I'm pretty new to all this, but from the little I do know the finish is mostly matte with gloss on the logo itself. The embossing is nice, though the frame around the edge does cut right through his face, so that's a bit of an odd choice. Overall I like it though, it's a really good looking steelbook.

I'd love to get some pictures up, but sadly the only camera I own is attached to my PS Vita. It caps out at 640 x 480 pixels, so maybe best to leave that to someone who can do it justice.

Right, just spotted my post man on the opposite side of the street. When I get hold of mine (the steel, not the postman) I'm getting it naked (again, not the postman)

 

[BluSteel2012]

Matte?? Seriously?

 

[PKAVFC]

It's full gloss baby!!! Also got sent in cardboard mailer!! Sorry for poop pics!

Few lines going down steel

That's why I always buy two copies (other one not turned up today)

Hair line scratch going from knife to end of steel. Oh well.

 

[scnjedi]

Matte?? Seriously?

Actually, I might be wrong. I just opened a curtain and it looks a lot shinier in the natural light rather than my reading lamp. My bad, sorry!

Doesn't look too glossy. Is it like Batman?

Nice looking steel! The spine title not in the middle would bug the crap out of me tho

Please tell me the ratings logos are stickers you chose not to remove

 

[BluSteel2012]

It's ridiculous that they're shipping an item limited to 2,500 pieces in a piece of card. It's hard enough to pick up a copy without all the damages that are going to ensue.

They are removable

Can somebody who got it take a pic of the package please?

Order a £7.99 steel and watch it turn up in their normal white box.

Frustrating. But at least Zavvi are consistent.

I also fear for those leaving UK shores and getting there in one peice.

We want V for Vendetta not B for Banana!

If it's possible, can one of the mods who deals (or talks) with Zavvi , get in touch with them and tell them to deactivate the warehouse oink who decided it was a good idea to send steelbooks out in cardboard envelopes with no protection ?

Thanks

If they are going to start doing that then half of them are going to be returned as damaged - mine arrived with a massive dent on the front where Postman Prat had slapped something heavy on top of it (probably his backside)

They should say spot gloss on the listing. Looks matte to me.

You were right.

They must've ran out of jiffy bags again.
