I wonder if someome has that set and
a) has experienced any playback issues with the 4k discs?
b) can confirm that the 4K discs are not locked with French audio/subtitles and does indeed have Swedish subtitles?

Just curious, are you wondering because the French release is much cheaper than the Nordic one?

Because the Nordic one is still ~€230. But to get it cheaper I think the German edition at ~€165 is a better option than the French one?

Don’t buy it, the 4K discs are completely locked with French audio when playing on a Swedish 4k player! I just tried and that’s true! I couldn’t believe my ears!

I ordered it for €130 incl shipping while it was cheap. Equivalent German steelbooks are €599 + shipping.
Still has not shipped, can probably cancel...
Seems like audio is locked... very worrying! Unless he is joking.

[Fjodor2000]

Do you need steelbooks? Otherwise the regular German release can be had for €165 at amazon.de.

Regardless, strange that the Nordic release is so much more expensive than releases in other European countries.

Nope, I don't need steelbooks but this was so cheap and I believe the 4K discs are identical in the German and French 4K sets.

[Fjodor2000]

Yeah, if the discs are identical to the Nordic release and you got it for €130 incl shipping then you made a really good deal. Approx half the price of the Nordic edition, shipping included.

That was obviously a joke. Don't worry, I'm sure the discs will be shared among regions and nothing forced. That'd be a first for HBO/WB. I ordered the set as well. If mine gets here before yours I'll let you know.

Just checked disc 2 of season 1, the first one that was done ripping. Looks like the same disc as everywhere else. Nordic subs included (Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian and Danish) as well as a ton of others. Also features a whole laundry list of languages. You can rest easy and look forward to your set. If I encounter any exceptions I'll let you know.

Thanks!
Just got this in an email:
" Nouvelle date d'arrivée prévue : 10 décembre 2021 / New arrival date forecast: 10 December 2021 "

Just a small update now that I'm done with all discs in this set. All discs fine, but every single one needed a wipe down, and several needed more than one drive until they ripped without errors. I learned that this set - not this steelbook set in particular, just GoT4K - is known as a hard case. It gives many people trouble.

This steelbook set was probably the ideal way to get the discs, as it comes pre-wrapped in bubble wrap, and the steelbooks are cushioned individually. None of my discs were loose or scratched in any way. The wipe-downs were needed only to make them easier to read.

Most of theses discs are BD-100s. They are always difficult, and here you have 23 of them. The manufacturing is fine, but I believe the authoring was done in such a way that the drive needs to start reading around a layer break. Every single one had trouble mounting. After that it was mostly fine.

In closing: it's a superb set, the manufacturing of the discs is fine and it came well packaged. It's only due to the nature of BD-100 density that some of the discs may have trouble loading or skipping around a layer break. I suggest giving all of the discs a good wipe-down with rubbing alcohol before you start. Oh and: Swedish subs are on all seasons. Have fun.
