That's great about "Airplane". Also, good news about LOA which usually means they're working on correcting it.

I just hope they add both DV and Atmos in one swoop rather than just one fix at a time.

Dolby Vision on Lawrence!

When I made my prior post, it was still in HD. So they updated it in the last 20 minutes or so. Let's hope they upgrade the audio real soon.

Yep, it's Dolby Vision now. Should have known it was too much to ask that they do it all in one shot. Eventually I'm sure that they will update all four of the titles with Atmos in the Columbia Classics Set that are supposed to have it.

It might take a while.

I really wish I could say what I want to say about this film. It pretty much speaks for itself. I will just say that this film was made in 1957 an It's rather shocking to see how accurately it would foretell our future.​

​

Chilling, isn't it?

Great news about Airplane now in 4k. I tell you, digital continues to win me over when we get little perks like these.

agreed.

plus some warner Blu ray titles seem to be going out of print. Most are on digital though.

Twilight zone complete series $45

same transfers as the blu ray sets?

tons of extras on the disc sets but probably nothing on the digital set?

That complete series on iTunes was on sale for $24.99 last year. It doesn't have any extras.

thanks for the heads up on price and about the extras. I’ll continue to wait.

What do you think of Amazon Prime?, I think you have very good movies

Well thank you I like my movies too.

@Osato, if you haven't used CheapCharts before, might wanna check it out. They provide a history of price changes for each title. I find that quite helpful (on top of the sales updates and tracking wish list).

They also mention/indicate MA eligibility and included extras, but might not be very detailed or comprehensive in listing the latter.

Yep, I picked it up at that price last year. The current $45 price is too high, if you can be patient.

Interesting, apparently iTunes at some point has put Inception up and disregarded the previous version that was not HD.

So I now have two versions in my iTunes library.
An HD version and a 4K version.
Bought the 4K today for $5

Yeah, that'd be a lot to spend on the digital version, especially w/ no extras.

I paid about that much for the disc set a couple holiday shopping seasons ago... and it's probably sold for even less at some point since then (maybe last Black Friday)...

Not a big fan when it comes to buying movies on Prime Video. They only carry 4k titles from Disney, Sony, Paramount, and Lionsgate, yet none of them are offered with Dolby Atmos audio. Their video encodes are not as good as Vudu or iTunes (they're not as sharp and often show compression artifacts). Their prices also are much higher and they run fewer sales than Vudu or iTunes. Special features, if there are any, are not as easily accessible, often included at the end of the movie as one long 4-7 hour stream sometimes. And don't get me started on how Movies Anywhere is integrated on Prime, because that is completely botched more often than not.
