I don't think that steelbook looks glossy at all. Looks more like a satin finish....

It's a gloss finish unboxing video clearly shows this

 

[Hereticz]

Yep, looks nice and glossy to me

 

[samdavies]

Surprised the UK hasn’t got this?

Nah, different distributor. Second Sight have it in the UK, who have already released their special edition, and don't do steels.

Ahh, okay. I actually have super mario bros, didn't realise it was their's. The rest aren't films for me though, so not surprising I didn't twig they did steels. Doesn't sound like they've done very many though to be fair.

I thought they did a nice job with that special edition, I’m looking at it on my bookshelf right now.
I don’t remember what it cost but it was reasonable.
I think if this is a WEA I’m going to grab a copy @paulboland do you know the region of the blu-ray? It doesn’t say on Amazon

You have the Super mario bros SteelBook the 1983 film
That SteelBook sells for a lot and hard to find now

I don't have the France SteelBook of Drive so I don't know if Blu-ray is region locked or not

Yep, that's the one. Quite a nice steel. Picked it up years ago for around a tenner, but I've seen it go for crazy money since

 

[NateDog]

Still can't quite make my mind up on this one. Didn't like it at first but coming around to it, rear looks very nice from the unboxing. Was hoping I'd manage to get the Manta DL at some stage but probably out of reach price wise so maybe I should go for this.

Anyone who has this, is the disc English friendly? Are there forced French subs....?

 

[Masta Norris]

Really nice artworks over all. Looking forward!

 

[Flloydo]

Been charged by Amazon. Hopefully have it by the weekend

Shipped

 

[Lutzo]

Shipped, finally

 

[TheWildEye]

Cool.
Would you guys kindly post some nice images of the Steelbook, if you can?
I understand some don't open their books and prefer sealed but maybe there are the ones who don't and like to rip that sucker out

Any news on whether the subs are hardcoded on this?

Saw something on Reddit that suggested they were hardcoded.
