Resident Evil: Degeneration hits Europe on DVD, BluRay and UMD in Early January 2009

[Carnivol]

Got a little heads up from one of the people at the German Resident Evil fan-site Resident Evil ALL STARS that apparently, the site Movie-Infos.net reports that Resident Evil: Degeneration will hit Germany on the 8th of January.

This seem to stack up nicely with Play.com taking pre-orders for Resident Evil: Degeneration, with a release dated for the 12th of January. I guess this means stores around Europe might expect to receive their supplies on, or around, the 8th of January (a Thursday), and the official release date is the 12th of January (Monday).


Note: This might only be for the bigger countries in Europe, as I've been unable to locate any local stores taking pre-orders. This isn't uncommon, thanks to various companies handling subtitling and/or dubbing in different corners of Europe. However, some Sony Pictures releases have at least had UK releases with full 16+ language subtitle sets, but not seen local releases in various countries until several months later. (Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children comes to mind).


Thanks goes to "Resident Evil ALL STARS" for the heads up on this one.

I thought English was the primary audio language of the movie, so I'm pretty sure the Japanese release will let you watch it with the following settings:

English audio
English audio w/Japanese Subtitles
Japanese Dub
Japanese Dub w/Japanese Subtitles
