James Bond Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 The following contributed to my Blu Christmas (see what I did there?): U2: Innocence + Experience - Live In Paris Lethal Weapon Complete Collection That was it as far as gifts went, but of course I've yet to do some post-Christmas shopping... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 For Christmas I got Evil Dead 1, Ash Vs. Evil Dead season 1, Gone Girl, and House Of Cards season 4. Also picked up the DaVinci Code on 4K (As anyone following my problems in the Home Theater thread already knew...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Just got Hateful 8 and Jurassic World. Excited to see the Blu of Hateful, scared about CGI being exposed in Jurassic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it, too and already watched again twice. The more you watch it, you admire how taut it is in its 88 min run time. Great f'in movie. Also got the The Shallows 4K blu-ray which is stunning. And Sicario which just flat out kicks ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does. The smoothness of the landscape during the wide shots, the natural movement when panning. Amazing transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 i bought a bluray drive for my pc a couple of years ago and finally installed it a few months ago because im lazy. started buying blurays a few weeks ago and here is what i have so far. blurays are so damn cheap these days i anticipate matching my dvd collection which presently sits at about 650 discs. i am using cyberlink powerdvd for the pc, the only software that i have found works consistently.

Turn_It_Up Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Just got done watching The Martiian on 4K blu-ray and blew me away. Was shot in 5K and finished in 2K, but still a huge showcase for the upgrade over standard blu-ray. Going to try not to re-purchase old blu-rays on 4K, but hooked and will buy everything going forward on 4K. The results are worth the extra $$'s and you can usually get good sale prices if you hunt and do price matching...

Much of my collection is still DVD but when played in a Blu player they get upscaled, so you'll find that even playing your regular DVDs in a Blu player looks terrific (of course a good TV helps too). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, going to be very tough not re-purchasing certain old favorites in 4K and I'm sure I'll grab a few when they get 4K releases. But going to try and focus on new releases I know will look best. Kinda sucks as I always thought my blu-rays looked great(and they do), but now that I got the 4K blu-ray player and some 4K discs and have seen the difference, it's hard to watch the other. Bet The Revenant looks killer, probably my next target. Arrival when it's out in March... Edited January 2, 2017 by Turn_It_Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-W.A.R- Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Sopranos was my gift to myself for Christmas, which is really what pushed me to get a bluray player in this first place as i was about to spend $100 on the DVD's. im pretty content with my small collection...still waiting for "After Hours" to be perfectly happy - Edited May 13, 2017 by -W.A.R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Picked this Evil Dead limited edition up on ebay for $50. They wanted $75 so I'm happy with the price. http://www.hidefninja.com/community/threads/the-evil-dead-1-2-blu-ray-digipack-korea.63697/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think The Martian is gonna be my next 4K purchase now that I've confirmed that my 4K player is indeed playing in 4K on my TV. I have the 3D disc for the theatrical release, so my justification to get the 4K disc will be to buy the Director's Cut on 4K. But other than that I likely won't double dip on any Blu Rays/4K discs (Except maybe Fury Road when it's for a good price). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I forgot about pre-ordering the Criterion of His Girl Friday and now it's up to $60 on Amazon Canada. Yikes. It's no better on Amazon.com either ($50 plus shipping and exchange rate). Time to wait patiently for a price drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage5 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Picked up the new Twilight Zone Complete Series box set today - after Amazon price match, a $10 Best Buy gift card I got for buying my UHD player, and a Best Buy rewards certificate I had, it cost me $55. Not too bad for a 24 disc set Shitty packaging though - it's one single oversized DVD style case with a ton of those stupid flip pages.

I lucked out and got my set in a pricing error for $60; I have the original release. Definitely one of my best buys! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just had to take it back - I opened it up, struggled with getting the first disc out for about 5 minutes, and I finally did I had to use so much force that I permanently bent it So yeah, I guess I'm gonna be looking for the previous release secondhand.

Black Sabbath Posted February 19, 2017 Share Posted February 19, 2017 Picked up the Coffin version of Universal Monsters on eBay for $35 shipped - a steal! I think it was like $60 shipped from the UK on sale at the time it was released and it sold out quick. Happy to finally get it! I also ordered the Target exclusive digibook versions of Batman V Superman and Suicide Squad because I'm a terrible person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Thing Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I should have pre-ordered the Hacksaw Ridge steelbook but for some reason I missed it. Thank God I found a copy at the store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Yeah I had to run out this morning and pick one up too. Very slight spine Slash and a small, small scuff on the bottom right but I can live with them. Great movie, awesome steelbook; I'm happy.
