The spine on French books (and DVDs) always reads bottom to top. That's the French standard.

As far as I know none of the French TF1 SteelBooks are like that... I know for a fact that Kill Bill, Rescue Dawn, Next, and Casino have normal top to bottom spines...

Here's a pic of more spines as well...

What is the confirmed format on the french version ? It would be earth shattering if this is a 2.35:1 master all the way through.

Is it too early to ask.. where is the portuguese subtitle??

29,99 € + 8,30 € = 38,29 €
It's expensive! I already got the German and it was cheaper!!


By the way I only pay 5.7€ from Portugal to worldwide.. We could combine forces

FNAC are using excessively high international shipping prices indeed. Might be better to go for the Amazon.fr version, except it won't have the small freebies the exclusive FNAC version has but who cares about 2 postcards and a comic book?

FNAC: 24.58 Euro each x 3 + 20.55 Euro = 94.29 Euro = ~ $120 or $40 each.

Amazon.fr: 22.98 Euro each x 3 + 14.70 Euro = 83.64 Euro = ~$107 or $36 each.

Are extras worth $4? I guess that's up to you.

ps. How many more TDK SteelBooks are we going to see?
beware, they are customs whor3s as well
