I got excited when I saw a pre-Black Friday sale for steelbooks at Best Buy!

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/20161117-steelbooks

Then I clicked on the link and say that only two steels were on sale. Ghostbusters 2016 for $9.99 (don't want it), and TFA for $14.99 (already have it).

For those that are interested, have at it.

Has their shipping gotten any better?

 

[DinoDB1975]

I usually do in store pick up, but the few steelbooks I've received in the mail have been undamaged.

Ghostbusters is still too expensive

Man 1080p still looks good

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

Not sure why it wouldn't especially on smaller screens. (<100")

 

[Gates70]

1080p still looks great on my 112" as well, but the HDR and WCG on UHD is what does it for me.

 

[DinoDB1975]

You've probably mentioned it before, Jye, but what kind of TV do you have?

True true.

This one specifically is the 2013 (very very very very old tv) Vizio M701d-A3.

Free is too expensive because it would take up valuable shelf space.

My Daughter asked for the new GB for Christmas, I told her there are some things even Santa Clause won't do.

 

[jye4ever]

lolololololol

 

[rushmore223]

Now that I typed it and read It back, kind of makes me feel like an A-hole.

 

[jye4ever]

If it makes you feel better just delete it.

 

[rushmore223]

If it makes you feel better just delete it.

That's ok, I said it, it's me, not pretending to be something I'm not.

Have a feeling she might find it under the tree now, though. Unless my Wife talks me out of it.

lolololololol

After watching TFA in 3D I am now fully convinced that 3D is a good thing for cinema.

I find the experience to be so rewarding, it actually has the power to turn a just ok movie into an entertaining fun movie, it brings certain movies to life.

Not every movie requires it though and sometimes if a movie is long it can be slightly irritating to the eyes but once I enjoy a movie in 3D it's hard to go back to the 2D version.

Real shame with how 3D was neglected for 4K even though 3D content is still being heavily created.

 

[rushmore223]

Yeah, it's a real shame they arent embracing it after shoving it down people's throats. There is a lot of 3D content out there, content that sells. To me, the only really attractive thing about 4K is HDR, the extra resolution isn't that noticeable to me until you get past 60" TV's. I can see it, but it doesn't feel like that big a step up. 3D on the other hand, gives a unique experience. I think those that enjoy 3D, may be hesitant to adopt 4K since most UHDTVs don't support 3D
