This seems odd to me: I doubt Warners is producing a separate disc for the German market. Usually it produces discs for the whole of Europe, with numerous language options (English + German + French + Spanish etc.) as well as subtitles for plenty of languages.

.

That "BD-66" suggests the 4K UHD disc contains only the movie. If the enclosed Blu-ray is merely a repeat of the previous 2016 release, it might very well be possible we're not getting any new extras.

German, French, Italian etc blu rays have their own packaging in hteir respective langiage. but the disc itself is the same.

4K blu rays normally contain the feature film only. All extras are on a seperate (regular) blu ray disc.

By the way, the listing on jpc.de has disappeared, guess they published it too early.

Just like the white winged dove...

Several French listings appeared today. All announce a (possibly limited edition) Steelbook release on 26 June.

Certainly hoping for some additional "extras". Otherwise, not buying this for the [approximately] 5th time. No thanks. I'll save my money for the SDE's.

Having said that, it would be pretty cool if they added a "new" live Purple Rain-era concert/even concert footage with various Prince artists during the period to the package. Then, SOLD!

I guess it's just the same as the 20 anniversary 2 DVD set but in 4K (the extras disc are probably the same quality as the 2 DVD set)

Amazon UK now has listings for two versions:

.

- Regular: https://www.amazon.co.uk/...B0D2LHHWSW

.

- (Limited edition?) Steelbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/...B0D2LJ9M1Z

.

Note that the listing title for the Steelbook includes the word "Motorbike", which suggests that alternate art I posted earlier might also still be in the pipeline.

.

No new extras.

.

Zavvi: https://www.zavvi.com/4k/...61234.html and https://www.zavvi.com/4k/...61235.html

.

HMV: https://hmv.com/store/fil...urple-rain and https://hmv.com/store/fil...e-rain-(1)

.

Note the release dates:

.

- Regular: 24 Jun (Amazon), 29 Jul (Zavvi), 24 Jun (HMV)

.

- Steelbook: 29 Jul (Amazon), 29 Jul (Zavvi), 29 Jul (HMV)

.

Odd to see a month between the regular release and the Steelbook, if the 24 Jun release date for the regular edition is correct.

They could've at least put the performance from the premiere party on here. They performed 17 Days, Irresistible Bitch, and When Doves Cry.
Also, some of the rehearsal footage that was in the posthumous videos for Nothing Compares 2 U and Manic Monday would've been a nice addition.
