Does anybody new which subs will be on this steelbook?

At first I wanted to order the Uk version, but the Uk steelbook only has dutch subs on the 2D discs and not on the 3D discs
I would really like if this steelbook would have dutch subs on the 2d and 3d disc, just like the extended steelbook version of The Hobbit an unexpected journey

Does anybody new which subs will be on this steelbook?

The regular french edition 3D has Dutch subtitles, at least that's what this site tells us:

Edit: regular ed = theatrical ed. Extended ed not sure. This steel will not sell out so if you can wait ....

2D: ENG/FRE(DTS HD MA 7.1) /ITA(DD5.1) and subs (plus NED subs), same disc as the UK edition

3D specs not known yet, but they will likely be the same

G1 like the EE first movie steelbook?

For The Hobbit 1 it's a flyer, so for The Hobbit 2 it will be the same (and G1...).

Confirmed G1?

I have just seen it in store (went to pick up Transcendence, now that is a classy steelbook) and I can sadly confirm this is G1 .

It's too bad because I for one prefer this front art with Smaug over the one with Bilbo, but I guess I'll have no choice but to order the UK edition. Too bad Warner didn't follow through after their stellar run on the first Hobbit (3 different steelbooks & 1 great lenticular edition).
