A Few Words About A few words about...™ Star Wars: The Last Jedi -- in 4k UHD Blu-ray (1 Viewer)

[TravisR]

There may be another thread for this topic. If there is let me know. I'm looking for a thread which compares the various versions of today's TLJ release. Seems like Best Buy has a metal box. Target has a mini Art of TLJ book and a Porg featurette. Not sure what Amazon has if anything. I'm looking for a version which includes both a Blu Ray and DVD and as many extras (Trailers, Deleted Scenes, Behind the Scenes stuff, gag reel etc)
Don't need 3D or 4K or a Digital Copy. What does the collective recommend as the best option? Thanks! MTFBWY

Out of what you're interested in, the Target exclusive version sounds like the one you'd want- it has the two Blu-rays (the movie on disc 1 and the special features on disc 2), a DVD (with just the movie), the bonus DVD with the porg featurette and a code for the digital copy. The Best Buy steelbook version has the two Blu-rays, the DVD and the code for the digital copy. The regular Blu-ray release has the two Blu-rays and a digital copy.

EDIT: Corrected to fix info on the regular Blu-ray.

I got my 4k Last Jedi at Target this morning, too...on the drive into work. It's weird how this Amazon/Disney feud drives us back into stores on Tuesdays for certain titles.

Yep. Having to head to the local Walmart to pick this up.

Target has free shipping and 5% cash back on all purchases if you use your Redcard. My copy is arriving today via UPS. No need to go to the store even with the Amazon/Disney debacle still in full swing.

Going to Target and picking my copy at the customer service desk is just too easy for me instead of waiting on it from UPS.

Just pre-ordered LJ 3D from Amazon UK. It comes out early April which means I’ll get it late April.

I'd rather not drive there and back, try to find a parking spot, deal with traffic, wait in line at Customer Service, and burn the gas. For me it's much easier to open my front door when I get home from work and simply pick up the package. But hey, you retired guys get to do whatever you want.

I go to Target frequently so I'm not arguing your situation, but just commenting about my circumstance. Target is one of the few brick and mortar stores I still actually shop in besides my grocery store.

I amended my reply to you Robert, taking all things into consideration.

You got that right about retired guys as I usually get there at 8:00 a.m. when they open with no crowds or store lines.

 

[dpippel]

I'm looking forward to being there myself in just a few more years.

There's nothing like it.

Because of other commitments, it'll probably be a week or two until I watch my copy. Anybody know if this release is plays quiet (due to being the original theatrical mix instead of home theater-targeted mix) like The Force Awakens and Thor: Ragnarok were?

Haven't played it yet, but the review at AVS said it played low.

I'm quite the opposite. 8am is quite early for me.

I'm certainly not an audio guy so I'm no expert but I did have to nudge up my volume slightly but nothing significant.

A frisbee is a frisbee even in a tin box! I am waiting for my Amazon.uk 3D version. I will never buy a flat version of a 3D film. In the past I also would not buy pan and scan.

 

[Carlo_M]

I believe this is a 3D conversion and not a 3D native film.

You are correct, and since The Last Jedi was post-converted and not filmed natively in 3D, I have no problem at all watching the "flat version" in 4K .

 

[Adam Lenhardt]

I will never buy a flat version of a 3D film. In the past I also would not buy pan and scan.

The difference is that pan and scan didn't have equal footing with the widescreen version in theaters.
