Ok which one of the fast fives will be region free? UK or the German version?

Should be both since its being release from Universal.

I think i might go with the UK version, i like the side view of the car better.

Since Paul looks to be the same steelbook in the UK and Germany, I'm starting to suspect it won't matter which you order on this one either (besides price, that is).

I like the clean releases Universal is putting out, but it seems they have also started drinking the "let's-do-the-same-artwork-everywhere kool aid".

 

[ocielz]

True on the same artwork but it makes choosing easier and cheaper.

I actually preferred the previous cover at least it was different. This one looks to much like the UK version which is much nicer

 

[karl01]

thats nice artwork perfer of the uk version.

 

[Horhay]

The UK version looks nicer. I am sticking to the UK.

I believe this WILL be the UK artwork. Look at the quote at the base, it says Sunday Mirror. Sunday Mirror is a UK Tabloid Newspaper. Why put a UK newspaper quote if it aint going to be sold in the UK?

****EDIT**** Looks like they have done away with the crappy quote. Thank God.

Even though it is a nice looking steel I prefer the UK version better that's why I preordered it.

 

[thedonguillermo79]

Oh yeah and just so everyone knows there will be a part 6 of this.

I'm absolutely loving this one the more I see it. Gonna be one of my faves of 2011.

 

[digitalbabe]

Can't wait to get this, movie was bad ass and funny-loved it!

 

[Blu-devil]

Price Drop to 21.99 Euro (18.48 after deductions).

I read somewhere else that this will not include the extended cut. UK steel will include it though. Any truth to it??

The listing on amazon.co.uk does show some more details about the content than the German one for sure.

But you might note that on the UK version, the disc details show the extended cut on the same disc as the theatrical version of the movie.

So I'd have to say that the German version WILL contain the extended cut, as big studios like Universal use the same blu-ray disc for many countries in Europe (usually you might see this happen with some studios by seeing multiple ratings logos printed on the disc).

The third disc in the UK edition, IMO, appears to be only the digital copy.

This of course, is all guess work from me - unless people point to a press release or something official, it's hard to assume different editions in most situations.

Did anyone notice that there is no writing at all on the front cover in the pictures on amazon.de? The title "Fast & Furious 5" looks to be on part of the packaging.

 

[digitalbabe]

BC, yes you are correct, odd....

 

[bd251]

I think it actually looks better with only the art on the front. If that is the case (no title) I might lean toward this version instead of the UK version.
