SoberChef Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share Posted November 17, 2023 That Total Recall 4K is freaking SWEET!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I'm not sure why, maybe I'm a simple bitch, but off that sale I snagged Ghost in the Shell 4k disc for $8.00. This is like the 3rd time I've bought the movie or something (maybe only the 2nd). Definitely 3rd for Shawshank though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 22, 2023 Author Share Posted November 22, 2023 Friendly heads up, the Panasonic UB820 is on sale at both Best Buy AND Amazon through Black Friday, for only $350!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erehwon Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Picked up a Panasonic UB420 for $200 and 2001: A Space Odyssey 4K. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 Thanks to Best Buy's Black Friday 4K sale (still ongoing as of this post), I bought: The Hobbit: The Motion Picture Trilogy [Extended/Theatrical] The Bourne Complete Collection The Transformers: The Movie [35th Anniversary Limited Edition] Once Upon a Time in Hollywood Inception Watchmen Dr. Strangelove Speed A Clockwork Orange Everything Everywhere All At Once The Shawshank Redemption Planet Earth II all 4K, for about $240 all together. 17 movies + 1 show (Planet Earth) means $240/18 = about $13 each, so not too bad for 4K, IMO. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted November 28, 2023 Author Share Posted November 28, 2023 I recently saw a tweet by FilmsAtHome and it was an image from roughly 20ish years ago, comparing Blu Ray prices to 4K prices today, we're actually making out pretty well w/ physical media prices!! Solid haul there Nokra! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid haul there Nokra! When 4Ks first come out it seems like they're around $40, but my thinking is that if you wait until they're on sale, it costs around $6 to rent on e.g. Amazon, or I can pay another $3 and own it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted December 2, 2023 Author Share Posted December 2, 2023 So I more or less just got done updating my physical media specific wishlist on Amazon, I have roughly 50+ titles in there currently. I'm both ashamed there's so many, and also appalled that there's so few! For the rest of you, IF you happen to have a similar list, how big is it? *EDIT* Also, quick update after having hooked up my Panasonic UB820 - I HAVE BEEN MISSING OUT! The video & audio is so significantly improved thus far, plus the features & settings within to go along all that I have w/ my LGB6 & Denon X1300 (yes I know, need to upgrade them), I truly don't believe I have had better viewing experiences with what I've popped in so far. I really feel I got away with a steal having paid only $350 for this. The main downside for the time being until I can upgrade my receiver & TV, is that I only have one eARC input for the TV in which the HDMI is already plugged into that from my 4K eARC out of my receiver, so in turn I have to pass the audio from the player, to the receiver, to the TV instead of two separate dedicated HDMI's. It'll do for now, but alas the curse of having such a hobby, is that it is never actually "COMPLETE". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I don’t have a list of needs but I’m at I think 153 UHD’s in my collection right now. I still wanna grab Oppenheimer and a few others but will wait for Xmas. Here’s hopefully a working list to my overall Blu-ray, 3D, and UHD collection. Missing all my dvd’s pretty much (hundreds) and a fair share on blu’s as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I've shared it before but I have a google docs / sheets collection set up to look how DVD Aficionado looked like. But I've been kinda lazy about cataloging it, so really I only do new stuff, or stuff as I get them, and always update the have seen tab.

Nokra Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I appreciate the discussion on cataloging one's collection. I've been looking for an easy way to do so and have been coming up short. Ideally, I think I'd like an app for my phone that would let me just scan the barcode on the case and instantly add it to my collection, link it to all relevant info (e.g. its IMDb page), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aliens was just announced for a 4k release in March. Warriors is out next Tuesday in 4K Criterion got a good chunk of the Godzilla films and did a blu-ray collection release.

SoberChef Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 So who, if anyone, got anything fun for physical media gifts? My haul this year as follows: Oppenheimer 4K George Carlin full stand up collection All Quiet on the Western Front 4K (Netflix version - I enjoy it) A History of Violence Blu-Ray (dammit Cronenberg, why isn't this on 4K!?) Scream 3 Steelbook 4K Pitch Black 4K Schindler's List 4K Bridge on the River Kwai 4K The Warriors 4K Collector's Edition Batman: Mask of the Phantasm 4K Tremors 2 4K Collector's Edition All in all, ZERO complaints here! Hope you all have a merry holiday season! 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nokra Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Good haul, @SoberChef! On a side note: Something I didn't even realize when I started buying 4K movies but for which I'm grateful is how many of them come with not only the 4K Blu-ray but also the "standard" Blu-ray. Getting that standard Blu-ray feels like a nice bonus and makes it much easier to e.g. 1)rip to my hard drive and 2)watch at someone else's house who hasn't yet upgraded to 4K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted December 25, 2023 Author Share Posted December 25, 2023 Yeah between that, the oftentimes inclusion of a digital code, plus also the fact that for the most part, 4K discs are region free, so yay for that as well. Happy holidays Nokra! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoberChef Posted December 26, 2023 Author Share Posted December 26, 2023 All I know is that my best buddy & I essentially "share" his Apple+ account with his entire digital library - most of which came from digital codes of mine! Apple+ seems to have the highest quality output for digital audio/video out of all the streamers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted December 27, 2023 Author Share Posted December 27, 2023 Damn you Second Sight for making me have to pre-order 'Inside', 'Mean Streets', AND 'High Tension' 4K's ... you're lucky I had enough self-control to NOT buy the collector's versions!

SoberChef Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Jeff has a link w/ a discount code for Modern Shelving These are tremendous looking, made out of aluminum, customizable with the site, and hold roughly up to 50 Blu's per row & segment (for his setup that is.) Just wanted to share for everyone, as we've all been there having & needing to get new shelving for our physical media collections! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Unsure if anyone else happened to take advantage of the "secret" sale Amazon was having post holidays (3 for $33 on select 4K's), but I pulled the trigger on Fury Road, Spartacus, & The Town (only own the last already on Blu, never owned either of the other two so figured why not add them to the collection finally.) Also, over the next month or so, I'll receive 'Mean Streets', 'Inside', & 'High Tension' from Second Sight Films, as well as the pushed back Universal Monsters 4K limited collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 So apparently, starting in February, when it comes to major studios releasing physical copies of their productions, it will be every OTHER week going forward.
