I thought the FullHD BD was gorgeous but the UHD was noticeably better even on my FauxK JVC. The Atmos soundtrack was the clincher. Did i read somewhere the standard Bluray was not region locked??

Curious DH ; Considering where the atmos tracks are going these days ; did the 3d get an atmos track too or lossless only like a 2k bd ? If so its strange they go to the effort to produce two DI'S and not just port the audio over .. Or theyre likely just conditioning us to go uhd Edited April 3, 2017 by cwt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cevolution Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 (edited) I spoke with Universal Sony Home Entertainment Australia a couple of days ago, I was told that 'Bram Stoker's Dracula' on UHD Blu-ray is listed on their database for release on the 30th of August, and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' on UHD Blu-ray is listed as coming on the 27th of September.

Update:- Three hours after receiving email that movies were sent, I received another email with an $8.68 refund because of price drops after my order was sent. These movies cost me $37.50 each delivery paid to Australia. Edited April 10, 2017 by bernievink update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweet Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I haven't been on this site for some time so I was going to ask how is the UHD scene going to date ? Is it likely to be a format worth the investment at this time or should I wait another 12 months and look into it then ? I'm obviously still in the 1080p format at this time, I checked with my local Sanity store and they have a small number of UHD disks available but the titles appear to be as those that were previously 1080p Blu-ray and are possibly just upscaled to fit the UHD format. I got burned on the HDDVD format ( I've still got the Tosihba XE1 believe it or not ) and I am biting my time on this format to see if it gets some traction in the marketplace. Any opinions at this time ? I'm sorry if I have momentarily sidetracked the thread but your opinions would be appreciated. C.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoggieHowser Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 There isn't really a competing format to UHD BD unlike HDDVD to BD. Unless you count Netflix UHD streaming. But even with a good NBN plan Netflix UHD would just be barely there. Without support for Atmos or DTSX soundtracks found in most new UHD titles. I'd prefer a fuss free stutter free experience on disc any time. Plus I've been buying the UHD AND FullHD bundles since last year so the small premium over regular FullHD is a no brained. You could be crazy and triple dip Bourne series like me. But it's not really needed. I avoided double dipping with Lucy and Oblivion. And all the new titles like XMen etc. just made sense to get the UHD versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry if I have momentarily sidetracked the thread but your opinions would be appreciated. C.M Hi C M I took the plunge early in Jan this year when Prices were very low. (60" Samsung 4K UHD TV for $1350, Samsung UBD-K8500 4K UHD player for $298 and Sony STR-DH770 4K receiver for $639). Since then I have added 40 movies to my collection in 4K UHD, with 4 more on order and 11 in the wishlist waiting for when they will be released. It took me 3 years to amass 90 3D movies, and 3 weeks to sell them all off, after moving to 4K format. I really enjoy the 4K movies especially those with the HDR effect.

Quark Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Logan, local release date 12 July, JB wants AUD$49.98 versus US release date 23 May, Amazon asking US$24.99. It's like a stupid test by the local distributors to see just how far they can go. Let me answer by raising both my middle fingers to them.

It's like a stupid test by the local distributors to see just how far they can go. Let me answer by raising both my middle fingers to them. Local retailers often price titles quite high during the preorder period. It's nothing new. In all honesty, does it really matter what their price is months before it's released? It's highly unlikely that it will be $49.98 upon release (for instance, Assassin's Creed was released here this week by Fox [which is the same distributor that is releasing Logan], the UHD version was listed for $40 plus during the period period, however the price has now dropped to $29.98), therefore prematurely complaining about the price seems a little silly too me Edit: Inserted a couple of words.

I agree the price will probably drop (albeit there's no guarantee), but the current high local price when combined with a release date that's 7 weeks after the US makes the US release a no-brainer for me. Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer to support local distributors/retailers, but when they're not competitive on time and price I'm not going to be bent over for the "Australia Tax".

Current exchange rate means that is over $31 AUD plus you still need to add in postage. also how long to wait for postage, I know lately it has been better but in the past it was sometime a 4 or 5 weeks wait.

Postage isn't a game changer, particularly if you can bundle with something else as I do. Amazon US is consistently delivering within 2 weeks for me nowadays, even on the cheapest shipping.
