Uh-oh. Goonies is back to HD. Did Warner slap down iTunes for breaking the street date again?

Bummer. I was planning on watching this tonight. I guess we'll wait awhile.

you can blame me. I finally caved and bought it. They we’re waiting for me to do that...??

Oh, I bought it, too, when Robert posted the $7 sale price. Not a big deal, as it will get upgraded to 4K in September. I can wait to watch it.

So how sure are we that iTunes gives free upgrades to 4K for everything we buy as HD thru them? And it's only for content bought from them, excluding use of codes that come w/ physical media (or acquired elsewhere, but available thru Movies Anywhere), right?

Is there any official policy about that?

Wish Vudu would at least provide option to upgrade (from HDX) to 4K for say $2-3.

What happened with "The Goonies" on iTunes is exactly the same thing that happened with another Warner title "The Wizard of Oz". There is no doubt in my mind that "The Goonies" will upgrade to 4K in September.

I was redeeming my digital code for Jaws on Movies Anywhere, and noticed that The Goonies is still showing up as 4K in my library there, but it doesn't mention anything about HDR.

It's showing HD on Movies Anywhere for me.

I have an answer for that. The resolution that imports into MA (and is locked in) is the resolution iTunes is showing at the time of purchase. Robert bought it before it upgraded to 4K so it imported into MA at HD, Scott bought it during the period it was 4K at iTunes so it imported into MA at 4K. Something to be aware of when making purchases.

Yeah, I guess I should have said something as I bought two of those cards on Monday. My bad for not alerting you guys as this ends today.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

Appreciate the posts on iTunes Gift Card deals. I don't quite need a refill yet however I appreciate that you guys are posting them as they become available.

[Robert Crawford]

Yes, some 4K movies that have hit my price point!

 

[Josh Steinberg]

We’re no closer on a Winchester 73 BD are we? At $4.99 I could bite on that if a disc isn’t imminent.

 

[Jake Lipson]

For anyone interested, I noticed that Amazon, iTunes and Vudu have the movie Waves -- which came and went in theaters so quickly last December that I didn't make it -- as a 99 cent rental this week. I wanted to see it so am considering doing the discounted rental, but there's one thing that's holding me back from that.

Usually, A24 releases (which Waves is) end up having their first subscription streaming window on Amazon Prime, but it is unclear as to when that will start for Waves. I'd like to wait for that because I already have Prime so wouldn't need to pay at all, but probably what will happen is that it will show up with the membership as soon as I end up paying to rent it.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I was able to knock three titles off my Wish List:

Dark Waters 4K desired pricing 9.99 (Currently 19.99)
21 Bridges 4K desired pricing 9.99 (Currently 14.99)
Bad Boys for Life 4K desired pricing 9.99 (Currently 19.99)
Birds of Prey....Harley Quinn 4K desired pricing 9.99 (Currently 19.99)
The Last Full Measure HD desired pricing 7.99 (Currently 14.99)
The Current War HD desired pricing 7.99 (Currently 14.99)

That's a lot better pricing than what I paid for that HD digital four years ago.

I'm debating "Underwater" and "Cats". Too many people have dog out "Cats". Any thoughts on those that have seen "Underwater"? I'm debating "The Photograph" as a 4K purchase.

 

[Ronald Epstein]

I have not seen "Underwater" but I have been looking at it for a long time.

It hasn't gotten great reviews. The feedback I have read from people on Facebook is that it's "okay"

The only great thing I have heard is that it has a killer LFE channel.

I'll buy it for $5. However, I haven't been looking at Cheap Charts for weeks. How much is it?

I almost bought "Waves" a while back. I might buy this time at $7.99
