I do like it a lot and the scratch is not too bad so I'll keep it.

Well here is my video review.
I know some of you will probably hate it as I think the front looks too dark, but it's just my opinion at the end of the day, so don't hate on it too much.

Was hoping mine was gonna arrive today but it didnt . Hopefully it comes on Monday!

Aforementioned the finish is high quality matte similar to Amazing Spidey 2

The hairline scratches look particularly obvious on Ric's photos.

I inspected mine carefully expecting to see the same but I'm glad to report that it's 100% scratch-free, so there are good ones if you guys with scratched copies decide you want to try getting replacements.

Is returning items for a replacement straight forward with ES? I might see if I can get a scratch free copy.

Some of the best CS i have encountered. Just drop them an e-mail through play.

 

[UpsetSmiley]

That's definitely not worth £24.99. I remember paying around full price for Man of Steel and the quality is the same, and it was still a lot cheaper!

 

[lgans316]

Returning my copies as there are 2 lines running right across the middle. For 24.99 I expect mint copies.

 

[Noodles]

Not sure if I'm blind or I just got lucky, but I can't see any scratches on my copy. I'm happy with this release overall.

EDIT - In the right light I can now see 1 or 2 faint lines running across (horizontally) the middle of the steelbook and even one running down (vertically) the left side... the vertical one is actually more noticeable on mine.

 

[Blu-devil]

My copy failed to arrive at work. Won't be able to get it until Wednesday now.

 

[goufcustom]

I think this one has the best artwork too bad that the "3D" wasn't sticker but I think the best finishing goes to FuturePak... jeez to bad we couldn't have it all in one steelbook...

 

[Dino Last]

ES have contacted me about the scratch.

 

[lgans316]

No thanks. I have contacted ES for a return. Will buy when the price drops. Right now I don't have the mood and energy to go through the pristine copy hunt

ES are playing a dangerous game out here.

I'm sending mine back. I'm not taking the risk of settling for it only to feel differently when I look at it in 3 weeks (when it's past the refund period).
