Anyone been charged for either of these editions yet?
Not yet

It's not unusual for Zavvi to only start taking payment until Thur/Fri or even from Monday release date on some releases
It can be even after release date sometimes due to stock arriving late

Yeah they've been pretty slow on the uptake with quite a few titles recently. I think the true romance arrow release arrived late, so it wouldn't surprise me if this did too, particularly as the US street date has been pushed back by a week or so now..
 
I wonder whats the difference between this and the german 4k steel?
The Arrow edition appears to have more bonus features on the 4k disc, most of these are reserved for one of the discs in the Ultimate Edition from Koch. On the other hand, there is a newly produced feature-length documentary ("The Sleeper Awakens" or some such) that ran into production troubles and was therefore canceled for the Arrow edition but will be included in the Koch releases. That's actually why the release date of the latter was pushed back (while Arrow decided to stick to the August release...).
Will be interesting to see if there's a difference in encoding. The Koch 4k seems to have more disc space available...

Btw, the non-steel limited edition box was already dispatched by Arrow. I have the steelbook coming from Diabolik and will combine these. ;)

Same, dispatch notice at like 11.15 last night. Be surprised if it reaches me before Thursday now with the BH. Standard RM this time though it seems, rather than hermes - thank christ.
