Here's a weird promotion for you. I was watching Tuesday night's (June 8) episode of Wheel of Fortune, in which they typically have a special prize on the wheel. This is usually either a trip of some sort or a large amount of cash sponsored by a frequent advertiser. The featured prize for...

I'm happy for those of you who actually got the steelbooks today. But reading about what a mess this has turned out to be makes me wonder if Paramount would have been better off delaying the street date by a couple of weeks instead of the supply problems creating such confusion and frustration...

You're right -- that's a little odd for a set releasing next week. I don't actually know anything. But my guess is that it's possible thatt Paramount didn't send the discs for review, or might have sent them late. Or, if they have arrived to reviewers, the set might take longer than usual to...

For those who have moved to using 4K exclusively, this set is going to look great. For everyone else, it is a missed opportunity to provide an upgrade from the 2012 Blu-rays. As I noted earlier, I upgraded to the 4K edition of Back to the Future without having a 4K player because they also...

Universal did a great job with their Back to the Future trilogy last year. They included almost everything from the previously-released editions, plus a handful of new items. Most importantly did new remastered Blu-ray transfers which look noticeably better than the original Blu-ray discs from...

Excellent point. I've never had a disc go bad personally, but I'm sure you're right that it is possible.

The chances of having digital copies messed with are really small, but they do exist. The example I usually use for this is Toy Story 2. In the wake of the Me Too movement, Disney removed an outtake from a reissue of the Blu-ray because it referenced casting couch culture. They also removed...

I can't speak for @Sam Favate. But I will choose physical media over digital copies any day. I'll redeem a digital code if it is included, but I would prefer an actual disc. There have been a couple movies recently where the physical media release was a DVD and the digital release was in HD...

Digital copy codes are nice to have, but I wouldn't repurchase something I already own just to get them. If all somebody wants is digital copy codes, they can just as well make a purchase directly from a digital retailer. To that end, I'll keep my existing pre-order of the new Blu-ray set with...

I didn't know that. Cool. I was hoping they might do that and willl pre-order it. I don't need the 4Ks, but have yet to upgrade from the DVDs. So this will do nicely. Do you mean Paramount? That being said, I agree with your point. There is some time between now and June, so you never...

It seems to me that if the Blu-ray reissue was a new transfer, they would probably include it in the 4K box set. Since the press release makes clear that the 4K box set does not include any regular HD Blu-ray copies, I think it is reasonable to assume that they aren't doing any work on new...

Paramount did eventually break out the Blu-rays for individual sale after they had been in the box set first. If you're patient, that could happen again here at some point. Or you might be able to do a streaming purchase individually if you're into that.

Yeah. But since we don't know that is happening, I don't feel the need to keep waiting into infinity for something that might or might not happen. I said in the other thread about this that I would wait to see what happened with this set before making a purchase decision, and now I have the...

So from the looks of it, this is a 4K-only release without new Blu-rays. That means I can go ahead and get the existing Blu-ray box set and be done with it. Great news to have these coming for those fans who can use 4K though.
