SimonCat posted:What is a good region free blu ray player? I bought Sony BDP-S3700 Region Free Blu-Ray Player from 220-electronics.com and it has trouble reading certain discs. Lots of skipping around on anything that isn't in pristine condition. I have the Sony s5200 which goes for 140$ used/refurb on Amazon. I've had zero problems so far. I actually traded my ps3 in to pay for it haha. It's not 4k but is 3d (if you are into 3d) I don't know of any good region free 4k players.

LORD OF BOOTY posted:...to be honest, I'd think the thin set is preferable unless it has really ugly art or something? I think I have the thin one, but I can understand wanting a specific packaging. I kept a few of my dvds for that reasoning.

Basebf555 posted:I prefer to have nicer packaging that sets itself apart from all the identical blue plastic cases, BUT it's gotta still be a relatively normal size and shape so that it doesn't become annoying to place in it's proper place on my shelf. Criterion digi packs are probably my personal favorite, they look and feel really nice but they're still easy to file and store. I love steelbooks the most. I bought the phantasm set that comes with a sphere and it's also super amazing on my shelf.

Basebf555 posted:Yea I always will drop an extra few bucks if I can get my hands on a steelbook. I'd probably already have The Last Jedi but I'm waiting for the Best Buy steelbook to drop in price, which I know it will because they always order like a billion of them and they just sit there rotting on the shelves for months. Eventually I'll get it for like $15. They had a pretty sweet Atomic Blonde Steelbook as well, and right now there's a John Wick 1+2 combo steelbook. That one I'm passing on though because JW3 is coming out and I'll just buy them all in one set. Zaavi, (or is it Zavvi?) had a Super Mario Bros steelbook that I pre-ordered last year, because hell yeah I need a steelbook of super Mario bros. It was also a fantastic transfer.

It might just be one of those things like the Adam West show where the first release was a "LIMITED EDITION!!!!!!!!!!!!" which cost more money because there was a toy car and some bullshit. I just want the book n discs dump the rest

It really is nice to get a box full of movies every month, and even the few that I"m not thrilled about, or didn't like a whole lot, have kept me entertained for a couple of hours. I wish I could afford to do those pre order bundles. I did one once and it was awesome.

I'm just not that big of a fan of the nolan movies. Though, to be honest, knowing these new transfers are really well done makes me want to pick up the first two.

Egbert Souse posted:Got my UK Blade Runner UHD set today. Really gorgeous packaging - discs are in a digipak inside a matte thick slipcase. Sort of like 2001's UHD except it has a matte finish. Thick perfect bound booklet with production art and photos. Even the BBFC stickers peel off. Weird thing is that the UHD and Blu-rays for the Final Cut are UK branded, while the supplements and other cuts seem to be from an Italian set (with multi-lingual text on the discs). This was apparently an exclusive in the UK, so perhaps that was the only way to get the discs. Mind linking which one you ordered? There is so many different blade runner releases.

CopywrightMMXI posted:I’ve started burning my dvds to a hard drive and streaming to my TV through Plex. This is mainly for TV shows and the few movies I have left on DVD only. Once I’m done I’m going to keep some rare DVDs and TV shows and get rid of the rest. As far as I know Plex is the best option for this since they also provide mobile access and server sharing. I bought a lifetime license way back when it first launched and have been immensely happy with all the improvements they've made since.
