Vudu New 4K UHD available on VUDU! (1 Viewer)

[Robert Crawford]

Am I missing something? I was under the impression that the Kino discs for The Apartment, Fistful of Dollars, and A Few Dollars More didn’t have HDR either.

True, however, I was just making it clear that the 4K digitals on Vudu didn't have anything new applied to them like HDR. And noted the digitals that did have HDR applied to them.

I watched the Some Like It Hot disc last year and loved it! And it has Dolby Vision.

That's correct.

FYI, a bundle with A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad & The Ugly and A Fistful of Dynamite is on sale for $19.99 on iTunes right now. They are currently in HD on there, but at least the first three of those films should eventually upgrade to 4K.

A similar bundle, with Hang 'Em High instead of A Fistful of Dynamite, is also on sale for the same price.

But the thing is are they worth getting at all given all the various PQ issues at least of the past?

I'm sure some would feel they're worth it no matter what of course (and we're only talking ~$5 each title) -- and I'm not judging anyone about that -- but I'd be much more skeptical of their value for myself (whether near term or long term) given their history on top of the state of streaming such as it is...

PS: I know, I know... "so just don't get them and move on" LOL...

I am not ordering them, as I have the Kino 4K discs of the trilogy. However, since this thread was about those films being available on Vudu for a much higher price, I thought I would throw this sale price info out there for anyone interested.

Yeah I’m not ordering them either. I’ll wait for a sale at iTunes which is so much better than VUDU anyway.

But they are on sale at iTunes -- see my post #23 three spots up from yours.

Good Bad Ugly is 4K actually.

Out of curiosity, I double checked my DVD Profiler. I bought the "Man with No Name" trilogy for $4.99 each during one of iTunes July sales in 2018. I don't think I bought them anticipating a free 4K upgrade, but just wanted to have them in my iTunes digital library.

I have thought about buying them for that same reason. When we are at our place in SC, I only have access to films in our digital library. All of my discs are in Michigan. We do not even have a disc player in SC anymore.

The original THE ITALIAN JOB is now in 4K and Dolby Vision on VUDU for $9.99

That’s a non MA title. Imo its Better to wait till It hits $4.99 again on iTunes and get the eventual 4K upgrade.

Two more Paramount titles have upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision on Vudu. Footloose (1984) and An Officer and a Gentleman.

Enter The Dragon and the 3 Naked Gun films have also upgraded to 4K Disappointing if you've already purchased prior titles in HD there's no instant upgrade or even a discount to upgrade. What a racket!

They don't have hardware or an ecosystem they want to lock you into.

I'm surprised anyone is offering "free" upgrades, period. Over the years, no one has ever provided a free upgrade when a better format has come along. Everyone had to buy the title again in the new format. You weren't allowed to trade in your VHS for a free DVD, or your DVD for a free Blu-Ray.

Besides the point made about Apple being invested in locking us into their ecosystem, etc, Apple also comes from the vantage point of the computing world unlike most of the other Hollywood and media companies. In the computing world, free (at least incremental) upgrades are not unusual at all, especially for software that's meant to be fairly inexpensive (per unit) seeking to gain mass acceptance/adoption like the vast majority of apps and ("digital") music not delivered on physical media.

Makes good sense for Apple to promise free upgrades to gain mass adoption at least back when they did so... and yeah, they definitely seem to have gradually, quietly tried putting that genie back in the bottle bit by bit to some extent as some studios, especially Disney, but not only, might insist...
