A little disrespect and rudeness can elevate a meaningless interaction to a battle of wills and add drama to an otherwise dull day
I’ve noticed some playback issues disappear if I turn off Dolby vision on my X800M player.

I’m reallllly trying to hold out for the VinSyn sale but I dunno if I can do it. The temptation of $10 uhd’s is strong.

Man, the second hand market for OOP releases is so much more nuts than I would have ever imagined.

The region free player was cheaper than buying a few OOP in the US releases I wanted.

It’s probably gotten worse recently due to everything w speculation etc.

Aside from grabbing 3D releases, one of my OOP purchases was Take Shelter a couple years back. $30 or so but drat, worth it.

Despite getting the LE for their ROBOCOP release, I really hope Arrow gets to do a UHD for it in the next couple years. I love that movie so much.

I really regret not buying Take Shelter years ago when I saw it for $5 at Wal-Mart.

Not sure if anybody mentioned this yet, didn't see it if so, but that new Mad Max 2 the road warrior 4K is getting recalled by Warner due to some major audio issues. So you might want to hold off on that if you're planning on getting it.

The issue seems to be that they claimed to have included the original audio track, but they actually didn't so the only track on the disc is like a remastered version that fans of the movie are saying makes stupid unnecessary changes to it.

It didn't make much difference to me, I'd only seen the movie a few times over the years so I didn't notice anything weird with the audio track. Seemed fine to me.

The movie is too drat good looking, there's no way I'm gonna be able to wait that long to see the UHD so I won't even bother to try. I've held off on rewatching it just because I want to wait for that UHD.

I'm definitely going to pick up the BB steelbook on release. I'll want to watch it a few more times before part two and the extras look interesting.

I also saw somebody on the blu-ray.com forums also mention that at least the steelbook format may not be around for the next release

The only problem w Steelbooks is that they produce them for some dumbass movies. Like what person wants the Hitman’s Bodyguard in UHD and a collector’s case for extra money. But I can’t see them stopping because it makes idiots like me Day 1 releases cause I want that sweet rear end art.

I’m the same. If they do something neat like are translucent and the art lines up with the art on the regular cover, I’ll keep them, otherwise they go right in the trash. I’m a huge sucker for lenticular covers but even with those I’ll remove them from the slipcover and glue them onto the regular case.

If I could go back in time and stash all the slip covers i've tossed in the years... it was way too late in the game for me to discover that they were worth anything.

At least, fwiw, when i buy a disc at Best Buy or w/e these days and they come with slip covers, i hunt for the most busted up one since i'm just gonna toss it anyway.

I like slipcovers because I don't have to worry about my shelves being packed too tight, when that happens without slipcovers the plastic on the cases starts to bubble and warp and it looks like poo poo. The slipcover protects the case and prevents that from happening.

The bigger question is, do you keep the piece of card stock on the back of a steelbook, the one with all the screenshots and stuff?

I do keep them for reference if the disc doesnt have a dolby vision/hdr tag on it. I forget which ones are which.

The only people who save that are probably the ones who don't even watch the movies they just collect them and never take them out of the packaging.

You shouldn't throw those out because morons will pay money for them. Some of them they will pay a lot of money for.

It depends on what they are but some completionists will even pay a few bucks for the ones from common releases that have identical to the case art on them. But limited edition covers from VS and other boutique labels are a loving goldmine. I think Shout Factory ones are decently sought after too.
