Region Free? Not announced yet.
Price €32.99

Even though it says steelbook, the case looks a little too long than Bluray steelbook, more or less looks like a Standard DVD Steelbook but with a Bluray logo ???

[Zman2k2]

I think I'll wait to see if it's region free. Besides $52 CAD is a bit much for a steelbook.
Who am I kidding, I'll probably end up getting it anyways.

I know! If I buy that steelbook, I'll probably end up trying to collect them all!

I just got the Iron Man Steelbook yesterday and I'm officially addicted. This one is a must have!

I know! I have a very addictive personality!! I just cant buy one bd! I always end up buying more than 1. If I start steelbook then ill want Iron Man, If i get that then Ill want whatever else is out there! lol

[jceperley]

Seeing that the cover's in english only, I suspect we'll see it her in North America as a instore exclusive, perhaps at Future Shop and/ or FYE.

[elks86]

is this coming out in the U.K?

[jw]

just amazon.de so far.........I think the listing is wrong on amazon.uk(look at the price)

All Warner releases over here have been region free, sporting the same encode (never heard otherwise anyway) and if there was a lossless track on the US release there was a English lossless track on the German version also.

So it's safe to be ordering this, and that's why I have this pre-ordered as well

[Windows V]

So how does someone living in California like me who doesn't know a word of German pre-order TDK? Can I use my amazon.com account on amazon.de or do I have to make a new one? And is there a way to translate it?

- Add to shopping cart (In den Einkaufswagen)
- Proceed to Checkout (Zur Kasse gehen)
- Login using your same E-mail address and password - Sign in using our secure server (Weiter uber den Sicherheitsserver)
- Ship to this address (An diese Adresse versenden)

You have to pay attention to the next screen (shipping option screen)

Standard-Versand (7-9 Werktage) (7-9 working days)
Internationale Express-Zustellung (2-12 Werktage) (2-12 working days)

I would recommend going with the cheaper standard service.

- Check the shipping option and click the continue button (Weiter button)
- Verify your CC information and click the continue button (Weiter button)
- Review the order and shipping details. If you are satisfied with everything, Click the "Place your order" button (Bestellung abschicken)

Your order is now processing and you will rceive a confirmation E-mail.

Do I have to make a new account on that site since I doubt I can use my amazon.com one. Also when I do the shipping I live In California what's the best shipping option to choose since I never ordered anything from another country.

As for the shipping options, they will usually give you two options. You can pick which ever you prefer.

Thanks wasn't sure since I thought maybe I have to use international shipping or something differen't. So what is the cheaper shipping option. Also do they charge just like amazon.com when the pre-order ships.

for USA its 14€, now thats whether you buy one or 15, so you may wanna get a couple other items to save shipping

Thanks again. Also how many Steelbooks are there going to be as in what coutry will have them. I noticed many come from Futureshop from Cananda so wasn't sure who else was going to have TDK Steelbooks besides Amazon.de

This may end up also being a Future Shop exclusive up in Canada. Chances are, since this will be the biggest Blu-Ray release of the year, you will find at least one retailer offering a steel book version here in the USA/Canada. My guess either FYE here in the U.S. or Future Shop up in Canada. It would be nice if Best Buy got back into the exclusive steel book market again.

IF though it ends up being an Amazon.de exclusive only, then expect prices to be pretty high on eBay for them.

Thanks. It will be tuff to get all of them. I never ordered a steel book before but I know what they look like since I have DMC4. But this I bet is going to be my only Steelbook I order. So if Future Shop does have a steelbook will it be the same picture as amazon.de or differen't I know it may be too early to tell but wasn't sure how the past steelbooks where.

[Stuie]

I will be hoping that this one will be region free so I can order one from the US/Canada.
