What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Audio details are inconsistent: the description lists English and German Dolby Atmos, while product details give English and German DTS 5.1. The description also lists French audio and audio description, which the product-details audio field does not mention. Product details say the aspect ratio is "Unknown", conflicting with the description's 1.78:1 widescreen claim. Confirm the selected edition's specifications if these details matter.
