The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

No doubt 4K becomes more common, especially for these big, tentpole movies.

I just like 3D being included, 4K is the icing on the 3D cake.

I like having options on which version I watch, so I'm all for 4K and 3D combos.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I agree. I end up buying both the 4k and 3D if I like the film, so it's a budget-saver when they include both.

You can also recoup your costs. Lot of boardies on the other forum I get this info from end up cannibalizing the product and selling off what they don't need/want. After they sell off the 4K or 3D disc, and digital copy, their net costs are nil.

Oh, and Ween, the listing didn't originally specify "steelbook" when it came up, but it did say "Only@Best Buy" and Best Buy is the exclusive distributor of the steelbook domestically.

Indeed. I like to be able to choose myself.

So, just to confirm ... are the 4D and 3D/4D sets BOTH Steelbooks (along with the regular BD Steel), or just the 3D/4D combo set? Pardon the confusion.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Unless I'm mistaken, the 3D and 4K is a combo set, while the other steel "only" has the 2D version.

Right ... but there's a 4K version that doesn't include the 3D disk:

And one that does:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/guardi...y-only--best-buy-2017/5904801.p?skuId=5904801

Seeing that the 2D version is the only one that currently confirms it's a Steelbook, I'm trying to figure out what's going on with the other two releases.

 

[DinoDB1975]

I hadn't seen the first link you posted (the superset version), but I'm guessing that's the amaray version.

RE the second link, again though it does not explicitly say "steelbook", the "Only@BestBuy" is a pretty good indicator as Best Buy is the exclusive steel book distributor for GOTGV2 in the US.

EDIT: Best Buy has updated the link confirming the 3D/4K combo is a steelbook...

SECOND EDIT: Okay, I don't know what's going on. The link I posted clearly said steel book, but now it doesn't any longer.

And I just clicked on it, and now it DOES say "Steelbook". Wow ... weird. I'm going to preorder just to be safe.
Thanks for your help!

Both SKUs show 5904801 - so if it said "only @ Best Buy" you're good.

 

[The Ween]

It's only "fine" if Trash Panda aka Ink says so!

Looks like you are set for failure Ween.

They've updated the 4K/3D combo Steelbook with this pic:

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

That's the stuff, right there.

Who are you quoting with, "fine?"

 

[The Ween]

Who are you quoting with, "fine?"

You need to go back a couple of pages. Just a joke. fine = good.

I just can't win!
