I own the France steelbook (which I adore) but would've loved to get a UHD by Divisa in Spain but I do not think they're gonna release it at any point now.

The encode on the existing SC release is not great, Eagle would have to drop the ball pretty hard for this to not be a visible improvement imo.

As for a Divisa release, I remember them licensing Eagle encodes in the past, with Total Recall, T2, The Pianist and so on. They might do the same with here, once this Italian edition is out.

I don't think you understood what I meant. It wasn't a "looking for a better alternative elsewhere" more like it'd be nice to get a local disc for the audio/subs for other reasons, etc.

Divisa didn't "license" the Eagle releases, at most they probably encoded similarly. The thing I meant is that Divisa is probably not doing any more UHDs. They went from a lot in two years to a absolutely NO single UHD this year. The UHDs probably didn't sell enough.

Sorry, wasn't aware of that.

T2 and Total Recall have identical bitrates and runtimes between the Divisa and Eagle releases, so I don't believe they're just encoded similarly, it's quite literally the same video file.

Anyone planning on ordering this?
Would love to know how it compares to the SC version if so.

Also is this limited in any way or is likely to be easy to find after release?

It'll be easy to find, just without the slipcover.
I'm interested in getting this, but I can't make a comparison with the SC version.

Bumping this, hoping someone’s able to test out the Eagle 4K
