I know some of you aren't getting it, and that's fine, don't want to restart that debate, but Best Buy has the Ghostbusters (2016) steelbook multi-format for $15, though it has to be in store pick up.
 
Additional savings: Best Buy has a buy one, get one 50% off sale this week on 4K movies. But there's a "glitch"? Instead of taking 50% off the lower priced item, it discounts the higher priced item. Just order Tarzan for $19.99, and preordered The Magnificient Seven 4K steel book, which is regularly priced $29.99, but was discounted to $15.

Couldn't decide between the Jason Bourne steel book or The Magnificent Seven steel. I haven't seen either yet...

Nice! Thanks for sharing. :)
 
Doesn't it come out tomorrow?

Yes, but I can't pre-order it online for pick up at my store. You can order it for other stores, but for pick up only. You can't have it shipped. So I'm going to assume that it's a store only exclusive. Target has those every once in awhile.
 
Absolutely wrong. You've been scammed/lied to and likely overpaid.


All you need is a $4 HDMI that amazon sells and it does 4K just fine, as most cables nowadays are "high speed HDMI" and that's all you need.


Please. Please, do not overpay for HDMI cables!

THERE'S NO SUCH THING AS 4K HDMI CABLES.

FFS.

Not entirely true. Depending on the length, absolutely not every HDMI cable will work with 4K.

I know people have had issues with long runs between the Samsung UHD player and JVC projectors. Apparently only certain brands/types of HDMI cables work with that configuration. :dunno

Crap looks like I missed this and the Tarzan deal :(

All high speed HDMI cables WILL WORK.


Length has nothing to do with it. Unless the cable is short so that it can't reach your TV? Then I can't see it NOT WORKING.

Again, if you paid more than $7 for a cable, you've been ripped off.




You know what? Whatever.


Here's more options for your 4K HDMI* cable needs:

* Such term does not exist.

There have been more than just that configuration. I've seen and read of other people with other equipment that have the same problems of connecting or sometimes just having standard definition. I have an Audioquest Pearl 27' cable and it clearly states on their site that anything over 30' only gets you standard definition.

I'm going to relocate my equipment rack for that very reason. I have a 75 foot hdmi run right now to my projector, and when I upgrade to 4K in the near future that just won't work. It sucks because it's going to be a lot of work to move the rack to the other room, and I'll likely be buying quite a few new (shorter) cables. It's good though because it will shorten the run of almost all of my speakers, subs, and hdmi cables.

Go read the AVS forum on the subject, I'm not going to argue about it here. Length does have something to do with it. Not all cables will pass 4k and HDR at certain lengths.

I read all the time on AVS forum about people having issues passing 4k through certain lengths, so read up about it first before taking advice from here on the subject. I'm not saying to pay $1k for a cable, not at all. Monoprice has some good options, but not all cables will pass 4k, and that's a fact.
