[quote="www.lionking.org"]4/24/2011 - "The Lion King Trilogy" 8-Disc Set Available for Preorder

That's right: eight discs. That includes the original movie in:

Blu-Ray 3D
Blu-Ray
DVD
Digital copy

On top of that, both Simba's Pride and TLK 1 ½ are included in both Blu-Ray and DVD formats.

The whole thing lists for $100, but you can preorder it at Amazon for $79.99.[/quote]

I've got a question and I can't find the answer. Maybe you guys know.
It says it'll be possible to preorder at Amazon but:

(1) Will it also be possible to just buy it in a store?
(2) Will it also be available in Europe? Because I am Belgian and watching it in Dutch like in the good ol' days would be superawesome.

If you guys know anything more about it, it would help me a lot!

Regards.

Nevermind, I've got some help, S-TLK.org states this:

So far it seems to be the same, that were before on the LD, or the DVD, but perhaps there will be some new bonus material. The Memoir from Don Hahn and a few other seems promising. Don't forget to preorder it on amazon, or whereever you like, before it's to late.

Also there will be a 2-disc BD and DVD Combo Pack available and finally the one disc DVD set. And of course the 8-disc collector edition already discussed above.
Now some technical specs: The Lion king will appear on BD with a resolution of 1080p and aspect ratio of 1.78:1. Simba's Pride and TLK 1 1/2 will have an aspect ratio of 1.66:1. Concerning the sound, TLK will be for the first time ever available with 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio in English and for the french and spanish tracks in 5.1 Disney's Enhanced Home Theater Mix (DEHT).

I would imagine so, yeah.
