The Blu-Ray Upcoming, News & Info Thread

[Khev]

So it appears a 4K/UHD release of Stranger Things season 1 is coming out at Target either on November 28th or December 5th. A guy at blu-ray.com was able to get ahold of a copy early in NYC.

Nice! And just yesterday I was looking at the Target blu-ray set. Glad I passed!

Nice set, but there's no reason to buy it since I already have Netflix

Wouldn't buy Stranger Things. Not a big re-watch value for me. Shows that keep you on the edge of your seat like this are fun on that first go through, but once you've seen it then the mystery is gone. The suspense leaves after the first viewing.

We rewatched season one before season two came out. I agree that the suspense may not be there anymore, but we still felt the emotional impact of the storyline, so that's sometimes enough for me to buy a TV show.

If I had Netflix, I wouldn't either. And I'm a sap for blus that are in special packaging, etc so I had to have that Video Tape box.

It’s hard to not want it just for the packaging.

Man, guess I can return mine just in time. Phew. I'll have to do that tomorrow.

It's ok, as long as you got it with a disc.

I'm hesitant to buy a movie without a UV code, UV is a big help when the family is out of the house.

Yep it came from the new Walking Dead season blu Ray. [emoji4] We’re flying for the first time in years tonight.

I finally went through all my Blu-Rays and began pulling the UV and digital codes and then entering; I previously had only redeemed the digital versions of Disney films for my kids.

Some digital codes/copies had expired since I sat on them so long, but as Rushmore said, they're pretty convenient when you're traveling, or if you don't feel like getting up and putting the physical disk in.

Also, there's an okay market for digital copies out there, they usually go for $3 or so a code (newer films or UHD codes can go for higher). I kind of wish I had tried to sell the digital copies I had, but this way I can share my digital library with my family without worrying about not getting my Blu-Rays back, or back in bad condition.

Yeah, I share with a few family members as well. I have replaced the video store in my small circle.

I can certainly say that's my case as well lol.

I prefer to collect my discs, but I have no issue when I'm out of the house. Glad I got that Unlimited data.

I admit, that sometimes im a little lazy and choose to stream over disc-fishing. I live right next to a cable hub, literally right behind my fence, so my broadband speed is usually sufficient to stream 4K, if I want to.

 

[CallMeTheDoctor]

I recently moved to Texas, and needed to get some bookshelves, but now I'm heading to Virginia for 5 months, and going back to Illinois. Haven't had a chance to actually get shelves and wouldn't make sense with all this moving. I definitely am too lazy to fish for some films and just use Vudu.

I’m all for being lazy I do the same thing but for me I like to have physical property that I can share with family or use for trade or sell after an upgrade.

 

[DinoDB1975]

Yeah, I don't share any of the physical discs with anyone (save my youngest brother) as they don't take care of the discs and cases as well as I do. It's digital for them!

Of course, I was the one that dropped my parents' house when both my brothers were still living there to borrow their newly purchased, unopened DVDs back in the day LOL.

I never buy anything Digital, always has to come with a disc or was free.

I'm a big proponent of physical media, I just like to have the disc, same for books.
