Ah, there it was. I assume this is the same as the wronly listed Amazon.fr item. The price seems more right but still a very good price I would say.

Spoiler: Amazon.fr photos

Pass as I find Harry Potter pretty annoying.

Ah, so we're supposed to believe that WB has not allowed the inclusion of 4K discs in France but has in Germany

Anyway, goes without saying - best Harry Potter steelbook art out there + cool shelf box + English language titles + confirmed UHD.

As haven't bought the previous UK HP steels yet will be waiting patiently for a tradewide UK release of this lovely International collection

Maybe what they haven't approved is the 4k discs at that French price
Are the English titles confirmed on the German steels?

Confronting the titles from the image to the german titles, it seems to me that the lettering and wording is closer to the english titles but I doubt that means much given that it is not definitive artwork plus I dunno but it feels strange to me that the ribbon with 4k on it which goeas around the shelf is totally in english, I would have expected at least that to be in german

Those photos are from the Amazon.fr listing, not the German one for which there are no photos yet on Amazon. Can’t be sure it’s accurate yet but really hope this new release with the box will be a worldwide release so that the steelbooks have English titles.

Since these steelbooks (or the actual French ones) don't look to be new, it would be easy to determine if they're going to have English or German text. Does a German version exist of these steelbooks? I've seen the French version but not a German one. Anybody know for sure?

 

[DMD4k]

Well according to Scanavo there exist 2-3 sets, a French version (this artwork pictured), the UK version which is just text, and an general/internationa? version which looks exactly like the UK version. No german version on site but I don't know how up to date their info is.
If that artwork is solely French, which according to Scanavo it is, then what are the English titles doing on there? And in the other thread I've already determined those are English titles, I'm sure of it.

 

[Hewitt89]

According to the Blu-ray.com database, there is no steelbooks with these design already released in Germany. My guess is this set will be released in many countries, also UK, and new steelbooks with English titles will be made for these releases. With France you might not know though, seeing as they’ve done that design there with French titles they might use them again.

I am curious if the 4K version is really an improvement over the normal BD. For the first Potter movie as an example there are many negative responses for the 4K version at amazon.de

From bd.com:

Warner's 2160p, HEVC/H.265-encoded UHD of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone derives from a new 4K scan of the film's original camera negative, followed by extensive color correction and HDR encoding. The result is an image of exceptional detail and clarity, with new intensity in the many shadings of color in the environs in and around Hogwarts.

LOL

No previous German steelbooks w/ this "French artwork".

Previous German steelbook collection looks like ours in the UK ... except for the German text.
The collection did however come with a few excellent bonus items - to wit, a cool box to hold the 8 steels (although reportedly little stronger than the box our STAR TREK 1 - X UK steelbook collection came in) + a v. smart hardback book of "Artefacts" w/ English print + a couple of other items … and all for 130 Euros originally before rising to 150:-

As an example - live pic of one of the eight:-

No my photos are from the Media Markt / Saturn website. Showing english titles, but it says TBA anyway.

Yeah but I was referring to the one with the 4K banner that he talked about. That has so far only been shown on Amazon.fr.

 

[frankfish44]

Been waiting to get these in 4K. Ordered this for now.

 

[RyanD]

images on Amazon.de have been updated to show that these steels will have German titles

 

[Hewitt89]

Shite, now I have to cancel..

 

[tono06]

If they are having German titles maybe France will change theirs as well
