    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I agree that it would be nice if UHD versions automatically redeemed when buying the disc, but I'm not necessarily expecting it, because of my experiences with digital redemption copies on 3D titles. Stores like Vudu offer streaming 3D copies of films. So there's no reason why your code for...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I enjoyed those characters, and maybe I hadn't specifically seen characters of that background (talking racoon and tree), but the idea of a talking animal or other inanimate object that behaves like a wisecracking human isn't new. I mean, I thought that's why the Howard the Duck cameo was in...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I guess I'm in the minority here, but I found Guardians 2 to be better than the first one. I felt the first film was vastly overrated. I enjoyed it, but felt it was a nice blend of things I had already seen before a thousand times. I genuinely do not understand all of the critical praise of...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    The day he made the post -- I can't remember when this was announced. June? July? Something like that. Honestly, I'm not a big fan of the steelbooks. I realize that this is just my own version of collecting OCD coming out, but it's gonna bug me a little that every single Marvel Studios BD...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I suspect you're right that the 3D was included at least in part at Gunn's request. When he made his Facebook post announcing the release of the UHD version, he also mentioned that 3D would also be available for those who liked it. He often responds to comments on his page, so I thought I'd...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I wonder if the 3D was considered a "throw-in" at the request of Best Buy or the director, and if Disney would have excluded it domestically altogether otherwise. I guess we won't really know for sure what's going on here until Thor: Ragnorak is coming to disc, but it's concerning. I wouldn't...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I hate to admit it, but there are probably more people rushing out to buy the "steelbook" style packaging gimmick than because of the 3D disc. I'd love to be wrong about that though.

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    Why do I have the sinking feeling that I won't be seeing this in 3D until the UK version comes out? No confidence that Best Buy will honor my preorder at this point. If they're taking new orders today while telling people who preordered months ago that they're all out, that can't be a good sign.

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    No, I'm sorry, I thought you were enquiring about the 3D part. The BB exclusive as far as I know is the only one with both an UHD disc and a BD3D disc.

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    The U.K. 3D edition most likely won't be limited in quantity, so if the goal is just to get a copy as cheaply as possible, that may be the way to go.

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I think the press release listed 2.40:1 as the aspect ratio, which is the correct 2D presentation of the film. Press releases can be wrong, and I haven't heard Gunn comment one way or the other. The shifting ratios was exclusive to the IMAX 3D presentation, which to my mind makes it more...

    BVHE Press Release: Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 2 (4k UHD) (Blu-ray)

    I don't know about that, but I've learned the hard way that my local Best Buys run out of exclusives well before noon on release day. A store manager once laughed at me for thinking I could get one at 3pm on street date - that was a 24/7 location and the guy said they sell out not long after...
