X (4K+2D Blu-ray SteelBook) [Italy]

I probably should have mentioned that this person is in the U.S. so most likely means locked to region "B".
I don't have a 4K player or a region free player so I don't know what such a player shows to indicate the region of the disc.
Can you please explain what your 4K player shows or how it indicates that the 4K disc is indeed region free and not just locked to region "B"?
Thanks in advance.
I’ve checked the 4K disc yeah but it’s not a region A player as far as I'm aware. I can’t play locked region Blu Ray discs. Just region B.
But obviously 4K discs are multi so I’ve never had an issue. But I have checked the X 4K already just not the standard blu ray disc
Yeah didn’t realise that so maybe there is an issue
Huh? 4K never states it’s region free. On the disc or j card. It should just be region free
In that case, you have a region B player.
As far as I'm aware, a multi-region Blu-ray player with hardware mod to support switching between regions, always needs manual switching (typically via the remote) from one region to another.
This behaviour is different from multi-region DVD players which "just work" regardless of the disc region.
Sorry I’m being a mong too. I know it’s not a region A player. I’m not sure why I said “as far as I’m aware”
But yeah 4K plays automatically regardless of where it’s from. I don’t have to switch anything over
Uk will start getting some of these A24s right? Like I want everything everywhere all at once but I heard the German mediabook version is super dark.
Can never tell. Things like hereditary was out straight away but green knight a year later. Plus distributors In other countries change for the all the A24 films from film to film all the time. Can never tell unfortunately
The UK is shafted time after time when it comes to not getting 4k releases...
Lamb, Men, Midsommar, X, Hereditary, Everything everywhere all at once, and that's just the A24 releases...
Yeah it's annoying. But everything everywhere is one I really really want. How bad is the German 4k with the mediabook?
No idea but, apparently if you order direct from Leonine now you get the corrected disc...

Please disregard. It turns out the guy thought both discs were region locked because the "B" symbol is on the label of both discs.
That's because most DVDs accepted R0 setting, but there were some RCE discs, mostly R1 from Columbia and Warner, that required R1 to be set on the player. I had a manual setting ability to go around that, but such discs wouldn't have worked on basic R0 multiregion players.
I'm leaning more and more towards one of the mediabook... just need to decide which of the two to get!
i have both mediabooks and prefer the black one, spot gloss on the x.
I think that's the one I'm swaying more towards at the moment... artwork works better all round. Although I do love that front art on the other one!
