Interesting. I wonder what that means for the rest of Disney's catalog, including SW/Indy.

No 3D version announced yet, and there's also rumbling that GOTGV2 will not have a 3D release as well. Hmmmm...

 

[jye4ever]

Would it freaking kill them to include the 3D 1080p version sheesh.

Exactly!

In his Facebook post yesterday, James Gunn specifically said that there'd be a 3D release:

Yes, it's true, & I am UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED to announce that, after a couple of years of me begging and pleading, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 will be coming to home video in 4K UltraHD. It will be the FIRST Disney release to be released this way.
4K UltraHD is almost certainly the best way you can see this movie at home - with more definition and the most vibrant colors possible on your home screen, and with the brightest brights and the blackest blacks. A being composed of light truly appears to be a being composed of light! This version is a roiling cinematic river of beauty and I've taken hundreds of hours personally making it look the best it can. This is one of the reasons why LIGHT and COLOR are such important elements of Vol. 2's story, and why we screened the World Premiere in Los Angeles in essentially this format.
And yes for those of you asking, there will also be a 3D home release.
We will soon have lots more exciting announcements about the home release and some unbelievably cool additional content, including something that's so amazing I've been chomping at the bit for months not being able to talk about it!
So more OFFICIAL announcements soon. Be careful what you listen to if it doesn't come from here or Marvel Studios as sometimes things seep out into the world from artwork that isn't finalized, etc.
And have a great Wednesday. Love to you all.

Woo hoo! Awesome and thanks for the heads up!

If you guys are going to order the Kong Skull Island steelbook, you better get on it NOW! I could only order it for store pickup only.

Is the 4k version the only Steelbook available?

Awesome. I was more specifically speaking towards the steel book release, though. I hope they bundle the 4K and 3D.

4K, 3D Blu-Ray, Blu-Ray, and digital steel book at Best Buy...for $40 right now. Hopefully the price drops somewhat on release. But for all those versions in a steel, $40 ain't bad.

 

[jye4ever]

Yeah Kong is so not worth $40 lol

 

[Centurion]

Kong just discovered how much his 4K, 3D, blu Steelbook will be....

 

[jye4ever]

It was lack of a good adversary and characters that killed the beast.

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Zavvi is starting to piss me off

 

[The Ween]

Did you try to get the Spider-Man Steelbook too?

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Did you try to get the Spider-Man Steelbook too?

Yup..

 

[The Ween]

Yup..

I got the second email saying it was back in stock and it was sold out again. I never saw anything that said how many they were making. I missed the Despicable Me 3 one as well. Only 500 of those.

I'm not even getting the emails

I'm not even getting the emails

They don't do any good most of the time anyway. By the time they come, things are gone. I noticed lately they've been putting the announcements up on Facebook waaaaay before they send the emails. I liked them on Facebook but I'm not real good at checking that.

It just seems funny to me to have a movie on pre-order that hasn't even been released in the theaters yet and selling out. They're losing money doing that.

 

[jye4ever]

I just PO the WW2 bluray.
