david_a posted:Have there been any UHDs with multiple versions yet? IE an improved version of an existing UHD? I think there may have been some German or Italian UHDs for Suspiria or Dawn of the Dead or something that have since been surpassed with newer transfers. Pretty sure those old ones were old Blu-Ray era transfers tossed onto UHD discs. One title that needs another shot though is Terminator 2. Maybe once Cameron is done loving around on Pandora he’ll go through his works and give them some love.

T2 already has a new 4k announced and it’s the same lovely transfer that removes all the blues. Fans were not pleased.

At this point I think I'd rather they just move on and give me a UHD of Terminator or even better, The Abyss. Also True Lies.

Reissuing the same lame duck T2 disc is more than enough evidence for me.

There was this Suspiria Bluray limited edition that I wish I had imported solely for the packaging

Oh drat, never saw that. I have the sweet Synapse (?) Steelbook that contained the 4K transfer on blu-ray and then the actual 4K release.

Origami Dali posted:Is there an affordable and reliable introductory UHD player? The cheapest Panasonic that fits what I'm looking for has a lot of people saying it's unreliable junk, and a lot of players are still surprisingly expensive. All I need is disc play (no streaming) with HDR10/10+ (my tv doesn't do Dolby Vision). dorium posted:probably the UBPX-700 Speaking as an owner of a 700, I would not recommend the inexpensive Sony players. It’s not just the DV issue, they are also notorious for locking up on discs. I’ve had this happens 4-5 times. There was a recent-ish firmware release that might have helped with this but it’s probably too early to tell.

Yeesh. I remember early days blu ray had some bugs but that was ironed out pretty well by year two. UHD still seems fickle over five years from launch.

Just like, the laser/transport parts are lovely or the software? I've not heard anything about this before but I also haven't got a UHD player yet either.

I only ever read issue after issue with UHD players and the 700 has maybe locked up a handful of times over the course of my ownership. I feel like it’s still a deal for what it offers and the price range is tough to beat.

I also don’t see upgrading because the possible performance benefits aren’t really there. I don’t need more outputs or anything. Lord knows I have no bumps during my seasons of TV shows on BD. Also, treated myself to some movies at my local BBY to take advantage of a deal. They had the 4K of Halloween II, so why not… great package! The slipcase is real nice. I may honestly pick up Halloween just to match it.

I had a lot more issues with my 700 when I first bought it like 3 years ago. These days I think the updates they've done have eliminated most of that, I actually can't remember the last time it locked up. It's probably been like 6 months or maybe more, and there are a few discs I knew had playback issues previously that I've watched this year and they played perfectly this time.

Not that its remotely easy to get one, my PS5 has been great for UHD playback. I also have an Xbox Series X that I think can play them too but I haven't actually tried it. I've almost doubled my UHD collection in the past week by getting the 4K Matrix set and the Cornetto Trilogy last week.

My Xbox One has been my UHD player and I haven’t had any problems spring up. It doesn’t have Dolby Vision though.

I saw that Series X is getting Dolby Vision for gaming but saw no indication for UHD playback in the announcement.

I did the deed, so I’ll report if a Russian man starts using my card to buy stuff. Funny enough, I didn’t get a fraud alert from my bank, but I do get them from Deep Discount.

Can’t you go to a gas station and get a $20 gift credit card and use that if you're worried about a website? Might as well let them hit something that isn't your bank or credit card account if you're worried.

I've used this before for this type of scenario and I don't believe there was a cost associated with it but you can use Privacy.com/Privacy app as well which generates fake credit cards and addresses tied to your actual card, and you can put limits on the card or one-time use etc.

Might as well let them hit something that isn't your bank or credit card account if you're worried. Those Visa gift cards have a five or six dollar activation fee. So all said and done you'd be paying about 40 bucks for Turkish Star Wars if even get anything at all.

I can't imagine it's possible to legally distribute that film. I assumed the month is because that's a short enough time to get away with a smash-and-grab and not draw too much attention to yourself with your bootleg scan.

It's now a race between these bold lunatics shipping my copy and disney finding them. Their site happily accepted a burner card from privacy.com. The invoice had a line item for "nevada sales tax" so we know where the lawyers are starting.

If it's small enough or over and done with quickly Disney probably won't even think it's worth their time. Plus that guy who did all the despecialized versions of Star Wars has been selling bootleg blu-rays for ages and hasn't been sued into oblivion. I'm not sure how that works but he has some disclaimer on his website that says something like "These are for people who already bought and paid for official copies of Star Wars.". I think in some cases they find it easier to just not call attention to whatever the thing is and honestly, how many people are going to know about or buy a bootleg copy of Turkish Star Wars?

I mean it's called Turkish Star Wars often but is it really any more in violation than, say, Battle Beyond the Stars or Message From Space? I'm not sure what makes Disney/Lucasfilm more likely to pounce on this.

I'm not sure what makes Disney/Lucasfilm more likely to pounce on this. Turkish Star Wars uses actual Star Wars footage and I think some film score too. And a bit of the Indiana Jones score if I recall correctly. It's not simply a knockoff.
