So all interested buyers who do not currently have 4K UHD players will have to buy the Blu Ray version. If and when they do get the 4K UHD player they will have to buy the other version. The German set, by including both versions, makes the equipment upgrade in future a non-issue. Also, the fact that the Blu Ray version is B-locked and the 4K UHD is Region-Free might suggest that whoever is planning to release this in USA does not intend to issue the 4K UHD version.

Glad to see it it going to be on UHD, although I am still going to cherish my big box ex-VHS rental copy of Crash, mostly because I have fond memories of being too shy and cautious to go into a shop and buy it underage (I was 17 and a half so felt as if I was breaking the law to do so!), when the friend I was with said that she would buy it for me, took my money, marched into the shop and got it apparently no questions asked whilst I stood outside blushing and wringing my hands nervously!

(Of course less than six months later I was buying Boogie Nights and Funny Games from the HMV in Meadowhall in Sheffield, feeling all self righteous after turning 18! But even before that time I was already aware about mail order and the deluge of 18 rated material being delivered to the door had pretty much begun in earnest anyway! But after all the overblown fuss made about it by the tabloids I was really worried that having a copy of Crash in my possession would result in police action!)

I just placed an order through diabolikdvd but it’s on backorder. I’m not very experienced working with them- but since there are only a limited amount of copies, is there a chance they’ll just ship me whatever standard re-release vs the LE I paid for? I don’t really see how an item like this can be on “back order” unless that simply means it’s a preorder

Just a quick note that BACKORDER on our site only means that it isn't in stock at the time of your order. It has no other connotation so you can just take it at face value - OUT OF STOCK. Thanks.
