They write that the colour grading from the previous blu-ray edition has been redone, as well as fixing the matte-lines. Those were the main gripes last time round. Looking forward to it!

Early screenshots are looking very encouraging. The worst issues - color grading, overblown highlights, DNR, seem to be fixed to a large degree. I know we don't want to go down the rabbit hole of screenshots, but this one is pretty compelling and encouraging:

This one mentions DNR, but says it's not excessive.

Raiders of the Lost Ark • UK Ultra HD Blu-ray vs. US Blu-ray

I'm more focused on the detail and grain structure. Tone mapping always tricky with HDR caps, but that overly golden hue and bright look seems to be eliminated. The original Blu-ray is looking uglier as time goes on.

Indeed. Seems to be quite improved overall. Still a bit too much teal from what I have seen, but need to see it on the actual disc.

Sounds like rubbish - all the screen captures posted so far appear as though the grain is perfectly preserved and rendered. I'll get my set on Monday, so will be able to see for myself.

Tomorrow is street date

I am not really in a hurry for these films. They will probably sit for a few weeks once they arrive until I watch them.

Just surprised that I haven't gotten a final charge from DeepDiscount yet. That means the title isn't going out in advance of street date which most retailers do in order to get it to your door on release day.

Haven't had much experience with this discounter so I hope it doesn't take two weeks to get here.

Yup, DD isn't the retailer you order from when you're in a hurry.

Haha. Learning that. Listen, I got the set for $25 less than what Amazon is still selling it for so I can be patient.

Here is some information I just picked up in the last few seconds while I strayed away from here and looked on Facebook...

Two years ago, I bought the iTunes HD collection for $24.99 in anticipation of a 4K upgrade. I love the first movie, but only lukewarm on the other three movies. If I ever buy the entire box set on 4K disc, it will have to be at more of a discount then currently being offered.

We're in the same boat, Ron. I usually do not order from DD, either, but did in this case due to the savings. I am in no hurry to get the discs, though, as I have some other recent purchases that I haven't got to yet, as I've had very little time for film watching the past few weeks. Retirement is keeping me too busy.

The Steelbook release is now showing "Sold Out" on bestbuy.com and the preorder of the regular release that I placed there about 2 weeks ago still hasn't shipped. On a positive note today I did catch a screening of the 40th anniversary release that is in select theaters. It was definitely a different transfer compared to when I last saw it about 2 years ago through a Flashback Cinema screening.

I think the SB has been OOS for preorders for a bit now. That said, I suspect aft 1am EDT orders will go back live at least fro in-store pickups like pretty much all BBY exclusives do. How many the stores will have is always up in the air -- could be 4-5 per store on 10-15 average. One of the BBY employees who seems to work at a med-large stores says his store in getting around 20.

My order from Amazon is expected on Thursday.

 

[Mark Booth]

My order from Walmart.com is "preparing to ship". Walmart estimates it will arrive on or before July 15.

Best Buy Canada and Amazon Canada have quietly changed the release date to June 15, which explains why my Best Buy Steelbooks have not shipped.

For those that ordered from Deep Discount, FYI, this was posted today on a different forum:

-----

Hope everyone who ordered from DeepDiscount has their Pitchforks of Patience ready; just received this email from them:

"We're sorry to inform you that the item(s) are temporarily out of stock and unavailable to ship. Back order item(s) are typically filled within 45 days. The item(s) will ship as soon as they become available."

So, there's a confirmation of what we all already knew: most of us aren't getting our sets on time.

Not that I expect my order from Walmart to be any faster.

Now that release date has arrived, Amazon is showing the title as temporarily out of stock.

It is so much worse - I just received this e-mail from Amazon:

You will see that if I do not respond, Amazon will automatically cancel my order!
