Exactly the same as the UK version. It is a beautiful steel.

 

[milestraume]

I think the title is debossed...

 

[Civer]

That really looks like a debossed title. If that's true, the German version kicks some serious UK ass

 

[paulboland]

German version Title is debossed
I have the UK release but I will double dip if there is a price drop in new year if I miss out on German version not a disaster as I have the UK version

 

[snooloui]

Fantastic! I'm so glad I passed on the UK version now. £23 shipped to the UK is a bit steep though. What to do?

 

[hayemaker]

Crap, the debossed title really matches the UK horizontal for the first film. Who could have called this happening? Oh well.

 

[zesty]

A German steel out doing a UK one who saw that coming

 

[BluSteel2012]

Seriously though, why do they do this? Why not just make the finish to the Steelbook the same in all countries? Or if they won't do that, at least release them at the same time so you know what your options are before you part with your cash.

I can understand a completely different design being released in different countries. Different artwork, finish etc...And I could see why people would want to double (even triple) dip with those.

But I really don't see why they'd go to the bother of just debossing the title on one countries Steelbook other than to milk the pockets of the completist collector yet again.

Of course if I had the option I would choose this over the UK one as the debossing makes it minutely superior. But is it worth double dipping over? I don't think so IMO

Amazon.de showing only 19 copies left in stock. Could this disappear as fast as the UK one??

 

[darczap]

Ordered one. Looks like it will be gone from amazon soon.

Ordered one. Looks like it will be gone from amazon soon.

Yeah, UK is OOS, people are reverting to Amazon DE. Another option might be in store DE pick up....

 

[ricster]

It's like the wanted steelbook. Germany wins. (And not via penalties this time )

Debossed

Order whacked in before OOS

 

[VRob98]

Looks like Amazon did a quick stock replenish. Back up to 162 copies now.

 

[wolfmansgotnards]

Ordered this bad boy!

 

[Geek Tragedy]

Meh...I can live with the UK version. Had I known I would have gone with this one for sure. If I can find it cheap one day I might pick it up.

 

[Apinamakina]

I already ordered the copy from Zavvi, but since this one's glossy is the same, depossed title and also has Finnish subtitles I decided to order this one aswell. I can always sell that UK version since it's OOS after all.

<--------- Schadenfreude

 

[severo]
