Yeah I read that and thankfully this is the replacement. I managed to get it from eBay and after reading up they sent a whole new blu ray with case and art as replacements.Be careful these an issue of lock up between chapters 14 and 15 on first pressing of the 4K disc there is a disc replacement scheme and they ship the replacement disc to the UK f.o.c
If they don't release a UK edition I'll probably look for a US one.I know what you mean but sometimes there’s no choice. I can confirm it looks fantastic. Lots more detail. I’ll upload pictures tomorrow if anyone’s interested

This won't be region locked right?
The included blu with the special features will be. 4Ks are all region free.4K disc won't be but the Blu-ray will.
Yeah we own the German release as well and its fabulous, but if a UK release came out I'd be all over it again.The German version has the advantage of HDR10+, along with Dolby Vision.
I have the German version and it is an amazing disc, will be interesting to see if the US can improve on it
Where would be a good place to pick up the German version?I got mine from Amazon.de Amazon product ASIN B08LN5K91K
