thanks.

if it's gloss as the German steelbook, then i'll order the UK one

It LOOKS as though it will be identical to the German release.

I just find it a tad annoying that it was announced AFTER the German edition was released. Had I known we would be getting a UK version, I wouldn't have ordered the German release (or cancelled it prior to release date, which I have done with other titles as well when I thought there wasn't going to be a UK release).

BTW, I see that Zavvi have it listed at £15.99 (not yet in the OP)

Is this exactly the same as the german one? Cause I do have that one now... If not, I might buy this one too. I'm just wishing they would include Airplane! The Sequel as well, while you're at it.

 

[virkia]

Yes, thankfully not German “Die unglaubliche Reise in einem verrückten Flugzeug”

or French "Y a-t-il un pilote dans l'avion?"

but original title everywhere and presumably same gloss finish everywhere too:-

 

[jasong]

Oh yes, be ordering this...but that’s not important right now...

I'm thinking it will be, and I also reckon it will be exactly the same disc but with the UK BBFC ratings sticker on it. Why? Well, the images of the steelbook LOOK identical, the extras listed are the same and the ratings sticker for the German release looks like it has been applied at a later stage in the production process if you look closely:

I don't know the technical term for it, as it's not a removable sticker, but it is definitely some type of sticker that has been 'fused' on to the disc.

I don't know for sure, mind - this is just my theory.

Card charged.

Same here.

That's early! They seem to be charging earlier and earlier for pre-releases these days.

Not been charged for Fifth Element yet, though (and that's got the same release date).
