Press Release Columbia Classics 4k Collection (photos) (1 Viewer)

It's nice that they are all new to the format, but if instead of this, they announced a Columbia Lean set with The Bridge on the River Kwai, Lawrence of Arabia, and Passage to India, I'd jump on it, even though one would be a redux.

I would love to have A Passage to India on UHD.

At $112, it is in the B2G1 sale at Target this week. There is nothing else that expensive to balance it out with, though.

Are there 2 other people on the forum that would go in with you on a group purchase?
Of course it work work best to find someone in a no sales tax state with a Redcard to be the point man and the 3 of you could split all costs included with the secondary shipping.

I would love to have A Passage to India on UHD.

It would be great if Sony and Warner could team up and release a David Lean UHD epics box set with Kwai, Lawrence, Zhivago, Ryan's Daughter and A Passage to India.

That's all that I have on my 2020 Easter Wish List and I would even pay for it!

Order 3 and sell the other 2.

I am tempted to get the Columbia 4k box set, Criterion's Three Fantastic Journey's By Karel Zeman and Ken Burns's Country Music for the Target buy 2 get one free offer. But never seen Jerry Maguire and A League of Their Own is a good film but not something I would have in my collection.

Order 3 and sell the other 2.

If you did didn't already have it, The Criterion Godzilla set was the same price as the Columbia 4K ....

Target has this 4K release as well as some other 4K titles on sale for 15% off plus your normal Redcard discount. My final sale price was $96.71 with Tax included.

Thanks for the heads up. Just placed my order.

Just pre ordered using the Amazon link.

A quick blurb at the Cameron Crowe site regarding the release:

“We are honored that Sony chose to include Jerry Maguire as part of their new limited edition Columbia Classics 4K Ultra HD Collection Vol 1. which will be released on June 8th. Cameron recently approved the brand spanking new 4K transfer and it looks really beautiful. We are also very pleased that Cameron’s appearance on Alec Baldwin’s Here’s The Thing podcast will be part of the extras. Check out the trailer below.”

I am now in a “whichever comes first” mode. If money permits, I will get the boxed set. If money doesn’t permit and the stand-alone of my desired 4 titles becomes available, then it is there that I shall go. Either way, I will be supporting the Sony/Columbia efforts towards restoration, preservation and their progressive expansions of the 4K/UHD format.

Clearly, it’s “Lawrence of Arabia” that’s been the most anticipated and is the crown jewel of this offering. And all the better, as LoA shall be divided unto two discs to maximize its visual presentation. Can’t wait.

My thanks goes out to Sony/Columbia for their continued excellence.

Amazon currently has it for $96 after discount & before taxes.

I see this as $108.87 on Amazon right now.

Did things change? Or did you mean Target, Angelo?

Amazon reduces the price even more by almost $13 at checkout.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Hmmmm.

I'm not seeing that.

I added it to my cart and when I went to check out, the price remained the same and it added $8.71 for shipping bringing the total to $117.58 before "Placing the Order."

@Mike Frezon

Evidently they pulled that discount as it's not showing it any longer. I don't see the discount when you go to that pre-order's page so it's done. I bet you they got swamped and pulled it early. Typical Amazon move.

 

[Robert Crawford]

Man, I'm glad I didn't cancel my Target order! I compared the two offers about three hours ago and my Target order was still cheaper at $91.24 than the $96 in my Amazon cart so I passed on Amazon.

 

[Mike Frezon]

Bummer. Thanks for looking, Robert.

I guess in this case I am "he who hesitated,"

Yeah, I had a feeling this offer wasn't going to last so I immediately checked it out and compared it to my Target order. If it was cheaper I might have placed my order and cancelled Target. Looking back now, I'm glad that didn't happened.
