The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

[rushmore223]

so now that 4k is coming out, is there even a point to keep buying Bluray?

It is out, has been for months, just go to your local Best Buy.

I have my doubts as to whether 4K will catch on with the consumer. HD (1080P) was a significant jump in clarity from Standard Def TV's, a difference anybody could see. 4K however, does not appear anywhere near as drastic an improvement to the average viewer, at least not until you start comparing the images on a 80" and above screen. I myself have compared on a 65" screen, and while you could tell which display was 4K and which was 1080P, it was not enough of a difference to get me excited, and certainly not different enough to make me shell out $4,000.00.

So, I think you should be fine continuing to buy Blu-rays.

I'd like to add on that 4k releases might only be beneficial if they get their own restorations that a dvd or bluray messed up. Robocop is supposedly getting an all new one for the 4k release, but the bluray was just fine, imo. Now, releases like - say - Predator, that were near butchered with their bluray restorations, would be something of interest if a 4k release were to fix what they messed up the first time.

If I already have anything on bluray, I'm not going to replace it with 4K.

Yeah, how about 16K then.

probably not. I haven't replaced most of my DVDs with blus unless it is something I really, really love.

Instead of higher resolution movies I'll just visit Chew's and replace my eyes.

Target will have a Despicable Me 2 Digibook but not with a 3D disc. At least that's what they're showing. In store who knows?

Do you know how much Weenie ?

The Ghostbusters 4K looks better than the previous release, so I'll probably pick this one up.

The return of Superbit!

$24.99, but that was pre-sell price. On release day it will probably be cheaper.

I might go this route.

Thanks Ween.

I'm not getting out in that mess

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Oh no, I mean Bestbuy.com. My bad!!!

All of the BLus are online. Since I pay tax on all purchases anyways, I just use bestbuy.com instead of Amazon.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

I got the Six Feet Under set, Django Unchained & the RoboCop 4K

I just ordered Pacific Rim 3D for $14.99 from Amazon. I'm glad I waited!

What's weird is that the photo of the box is the 3D version but the title and description on Amazon doesn't say that it is.

Are you certain that it is the 3D version.

It should be because the non-3D version is $7.99. If they send the wrong copy, it's going back.

I bought it too.

Now if they would only drop IM3 3D.
