As always, amazed that Zavvi getaway with writing false or overstated RRPs.
Zavvi RRP £29.99 but selling for £24.99 saving £5 oooo... but HMV is selling for £19.99? So yeah, HMV decide to sell £10 below RRP??? :BS:
RRP price is provided by the distributor to retailers they are not false or overstated

Some retailers sell at products at RRP price or even at higher price
Example Zoom price is £31.99

Some but not all retailers have a file discount with distributors the amount of file discount a retailer gets from a distributor this will depend on amount of business they do with that distributor
The retailer that has a higher file discount can afford to sell at lower prices compared to other retailers.
The retailers that don't sell much of a distributor releases will often have a higher price compared to other retailers as they have no file discount or lower file discount

On-line retailers are allowed to list RRP price and list at time a lower selling price on product listings a good few retailers do this in various countries
Price on retailer website can return to RRP price or be selling higher or lower price

HMV don't list RRP prices in the listings with lower selling price same time even though they also are provided with RRP price from the distributor

Amazon and HMV often list RRP price first when listings show up on their website and then drop the price to various lower selling prices
Price drop can show up quickly on amazon and HMV or take longer

Prices can often be listed back to RRP price or higher on Amazon and HMV websites before or after release date

How will the German edition work with English subtitles? Are Koch Media English friendly?
Some of Koch Media releases have had English subtitles and some of their releases have only German Subtitles

Only way it will be known for sure is when someone has release in hand to test in a Blu-ray/UHD player

Steelbook has a later release date than the Koch Media Amaray and Mediabook releases so subtitles details should be known before steelbook release date

Koch Media Amaray and Mediabook releases has release date March 5th
Koch Media Steelbook release date is April 2

German release Audio is Korean/German (DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 )
Subtitles listed as German

You could pre order German steelbook and wait till the amaray get released to find out for sure if Subtitles is German only

Interesting.....

Extra numbers added to the print run?

I thought Zavvi only ever restock nearer or after release date once they've calculated cancellation order copies?
Not always
Zavvi sometimes make available quickly cancellations customers do and also bulk orders that Zavvi decide to cancel

Most times yes it's closer to release or after but they have processed cancellations quickly before on some high demand releases
 
Pre-ordered from Amazon, just in case nothing else better comes along. This would look nice with gloss and debossed titles
