StarTrek:Into Darkness BD player/disc query

[Trekofile]

Ok, we all know now that Paramount and or Bad Robot farmed out most of the extras to stores exclusives/online. I have the Target copy coming tomorrow in mail. Someone on this list is scoring me a Candian Best Buy copy. I bought a Best Buy USA copy off ebay. I also preordered the German version from Amazon. My source claims the German release SHOULD be regionless and play in my standard U.S. Blu Ray player! But the only version that has the unedited ratio of IMAX footage is the 3D combo version from Germany along with "ALL" the produced extras, featurettes/audio commentary! Now my main question is.......fingers crossed the Germany version plays in my machine.....since it's 3D, will my standard BD player be able to read and playback the disc or not???????

Unfortunately, from what I've been hearing, the German version does NOT dcontain the IMAX footage. It's the same as the U.S. release as far as the IMAX footage is concerned.

The 3D region free disc will only play in a 3D blu-ray player not in a standard blu-ray player.

Sadly, none of your concerns can be addressed at this time. No concrete evidence of any of the information you seek has been revealed officially regarding the German release. As of right now it is all still speculation. Even the IMAX aspect ratio has been pure speculation up to this point.

Please stop asking this in the North America section. There is a thread in the Germany section for their release.
