No digital code is a bad choice for us going forward.

No digital code is a bad choice for us going forward.

I don't understand that logic by Sony. If this continues, it means I'll be buying fewer Sony products in the future unless the physical disc is heavily discounted.

The disc is currently $19.99.

The disc is currently $19.99.

I know, I won't purchase it until it's 14.99

Thanks for the review, Todd. I didn't realize this was coming out on 4K disc.

No digital copy is definitely disappointing. Like Robert, this will have to get much less expensive for me to pull the trigger on with no DC. Not sure why Sony went that way.

 

[Keith Cobby]

Thanks for the review. I shall be upgrading and showing the film to my 12 year old son and his friends. Memorable last line.

Too bad the digital copy is not 4K

Too bad the digital copy is not 4K

It will be soon I bet.

 

[Robert Crawford]

It will be soon I bet.

What makes you think that, without having a code to redeem and no 4K digital available on any service, perhaps, Sony is trying to force us to buy the 4K disc.

I tend to think that if they released a 4K disc, the 4K digital version will be available soon.

They’re just not giving us the free code this time.

We'll see as I have some serious doubts about that assertion.

I hope this doesn’t become the new standard.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I hope this doesn’t become the new standard.

That's my fear.

I did a little research this morning while redeeming some codes on Movies Anywhere, and found out that Stand By ME is not a Movies Anywhere title. It may have something to do with the fact this was made as an independent (it was produced by Act III) and was later picked up by Columbia Pictures.

I have this ordered-I'm going to have to buy some nice 4K BD cases-as the titles Sony releases on disc have abysmal cases.

Can you elaborate? I think Sony, Disney, and Universal releases have the best cases, while Warner tends to have the worst.

Thick, sturdy cases that snap tight when closed. That is what I want.
My copy of "A Few Good Men", and "Christine" were awful. thin, and awkward cases--borderline non functional hard to clasp. Poor quality.

Anyone else's 4K disk get glitchy at the pie-eating contest scene? 48:05. I checked my disc, it's clean, so it looks like data corruption. Kind of like back in the day when RSDL DVDs weren't authored well. Contacting Amazon now...

No problem with my review copy.
