Universal Pictures have scheduled the UK DVD and Blu-ray Disc release of Inglourious Basterds for 7th December 2009. Quentin Tarantino’s latest is set in nazi-occupied France where a group of Jewish soldiers known as “The Basterds” are delivering brutal retribution under the command of Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt).
A full announcement has yet to be made but we’ve got confirmed specs for the single-disc DVD release which offers the following features:

There's a pretty snazzy (limited edition) blu-ray steel tin coming, if I'm not mistaken. I can't remember if it's exclusive or not though.

No that doesn't seem to be exclusive as I've seen it on sale at HMV, Amazon UK and play.com. I have my order in from Amazon UK.

I will say this though, I wish they'd stop putting "The new film by Quentin Tarantino" on the sleeves, while I always thought having "The x film by QT" like on Kill Bill 1 was a little odd/big headed, it works out better than having "The new film..." as that's what they did with Kill Bill 2, and now Basterds, so we'll have 2 films that are his new film as far as the artwork is concerned in our collections, obviously it doesn't take a genius to figure out what they've done, it just aggravates me personally.

Just to be sure, the UK blu-ray will have french on it (language + subtitles) ?
I just ask because when you first did the news, the french wasn't mentioned, but now it is ^^
So it's just to be sure it will be well included.
Thank you :)

It's a similar scenario to specs for Sony titles, only in this instance we didn't have any Blu-ray specs whatsoever when we first posted the news piece. Now we've seen the sleeve and those are the specs reported.
