News Season One hitting DVD/Blu-Ray in November
- Thread starter Tuskin38
- Start date
I'll be interested in the commentaries... but I'd be much more interested in commentaries made around 2040, when those who are still alive would be in a position where they could be more honest about the behind-the-scenes craziness.
Commentaries on older material are better for more candid discussion. Commentaries on newer material are better, on the other hand, for fresher memories and anecdotes that haven't been embellished yet.

Exactly. If they like something for multiple viewings then there's the option for higher quality home video if they want. It all works out.
And while I've read up a little, I've not yet picked up a 4K set. Not until the old TV (720P) stops working or if enough native 4K content comes out or the technology supplants Blu-Ray and DVD to the point it upscales and smooths out MPEG compression artefacting, which might not be too long from now either way. I also do sometimes wish TNG-R was remastered at 4K, but back when DVDs were pressed en masse the scans used for their release were 2K (and sometimes with too much DNR, oops, LOL...) But even at 2K, I'm simply grateful for its release.
More (expensive) Blu-ray sets announced, as well as international release dates:

Never bought SteelBook collections before? Are they even worth it?
Looks like Infinity Wars Steelbook is only $5 more expensive than regular Blu-ray
I guess it will translate into $10 premium list price for STD Season 1 or about $60 (since Best Buy regular Blu-ray price is more expensive than Amazon that's almost $20 premium for the Blu-rays)

I've only gotten one steelbook in my life; the Logan Best Buy exclusive. There really isn't any inherent advantage over the different artwork. In my case, the only reason I got the Logan steelbook was because I liked the cover more then the regular.
One thing I will say is that getting Best Buy steelbooks is next-to-impossible; I got mine the day after it came out and it literally was the last one the store had in stock. Poke around online in curiosity and discovered that there was far more demand for this item then there was stock (it was essentially a "if you didn't get it while it was in stores, you're never going to find it" situation.)
Also, I've heard consistent horror stories (over Logan and other places) that not only does Best Buy never stock enough of the item, but they regularly cancel pre-orders of the item in question as well. So, if you want this, better plan to be at Best Buy at opening hour and even then there's a good chance you'll have to settle for the regular edition.
Ironically(?), Universal is selling the Blu-ray the cheapest for just under £26 when you use the 10% off link on their Zoom website --> https://www.zoom.co.uk/track/SIGNUP10
Yeah saw the great news about the European release and actually thought to myself: what the F*CK was Red Panda talking about?!??

Yeah, really.
It's just basically an announcement about the assorted release dates around the world.
There's nothing in it about "Extras", other than the word in the title.
Slight backtrack on my backtrack - it is actually Universal Studios / Playback releasing this in the UK. Paramount and CBS stuff is distributed by them in the UK, it just doesn't have their logo on it. I also cocked up, the poster said it wasn't 12th November, not that it wasn't November outright.
IMO Steelbook is worth the extra cash. But then I don't buy much physical media these days.
that's a nice deal, I would actually consider spending that amount with the weakness of GBP vs EUR right now
Just checked and the bluray + delivery would be just 30 euro. Tempting, but I don't really collect tv series on disk anymore, so will probably skip it. Might pick it up if it gets under 20 euro in few years.

Blu-ray is now £27.99 on Amazon, and confirmed as region free.

That's actually a good price. Not a fan myself though. I think I can wait until the end of the show and then buy the whole lot. IF the show improves during the following seasons that is.
