To all

It looks like KochMedia used a master with a different aspect ratio, 1:78 vs. the original 1:85, so the image is slightly zoomed, and tha pq is not so good (french is better)

Interesting, so the Italian version has the highest bitrate, both for video and audio (Italian is also 24-bit DTS-HD Master Audio compared to the 16-bit of the other two) yet a different aspect ratio.

Based on the comparison pics, in some the IT looks better, and in others the French does.

At the moment it seems if you want English subs the Taiwanese version is the one to go for as it has them, but it looks like that may be locked to Region A.

Clearly you can't win maybe if a UK steelbook ever gets released I'll just swap out the disk for that assuming it's a better encode.

Damn, that's one nice looking Steelbook. Can't wait for mine to arrive now!
My order has finally updated to "In preparazione alla spedizione" so it looks like hopefully it'll ship today.

Great pics, thanks!

 

[Jb162009]

Pics look fantastic, cant wait to get this in hand

 

[snooloui]

Wow. I think this may just be the best Italian Steelbook release to date. It's such a shame that this doesn't have English subs, it would have been a must buy otherwise

Wow that looks great, look forward to getting my copy soon

 

[StifflersDad]

Wow!!!! This artwork smokes the competition including kimchi. In fact the only reason my kimchi order isn't history by now is the English subtitles on that. Otherwise this and the french release are the ones to have.

Looks great. Glad I retained my order with amazon.it when others were cancelling due to the lack of English sub-titles. Eager to get this in my hands.

Completely agree. This edition blows away the Kimchi exclusive. Can't wait to have it in hand

You can always swap the disks out if it's that much of an issue for you, as for the film anything said in Korean that's plot related is said in English too - the only thing that that might perhaps cause issues with is special features, depending on what language they were recorded in.

Amazing looking steelbook

????? Are the special features extras audio language in English
