4K UHD Blu-ray is becoming a larger thing now and along with it comes many new, cool-looking slipcovers. Use this thread to discuss the slipcovers on the 4K Blu-ray releases, no matter which country.

This is to only talk about the slipcovers on the 4K releases. If you'd like to actually discuss the releases themselves, please head to the Blu-ray & 4K UHD Disc section instead. :thumbs:

No haul photo, but I just have to say, I absolutely love the 4K slipcovers that Universal is putting out in North America. The rounded corners and glossy photo-finish covers are extremely unique and clean-looking. I'll definitely be adding some to my shelf in the future! :drool:

Disney is finally preparing to go 4K
Disney was waiting to join 4K until Dolby Vision HDR support was more widespread in both 4K players and displays in the hands of consumers. First title beginning with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. Dolby Vision HDR

First of all, no doubt many of you will recall that Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 director James Gunn revealed, in a recent interview, that he was pushing hard for Disney to finally join the 4K format this year with Guardians, Vol. 2 as their first title. We covered that here on The Bits back on 4/28.

Second, our own industry sources – including those from the various hardware manufacturers – have been telling us for a while that Disney was waiting to join 4K until Dolby Vision HDR support was more widespread in both 4K players and displays in the hands of consumers. At CES in January (see our report here), a number of major manufacturers committed to supporting Dolby Vision in their 2017 hardware line-ups, and indeed that hardware has now begin to arrive at retail (see our reporting here, and more on this in a minute).

Third, a few days ago, some users of Disney Movies Anywhere, a digital service that mirrors the UltraViolet program used by the other studios, discovered that many of their digital movies had suddenly been downgraded to standard definition. The titles that were affected seemed completely random. So our own Jeff Kleist, himself a frequent user of the service, began placing calls to the various services like VUDU, iTunes, Amazon, and Microsoft (that support Disney’s program) to find out what was going on, as Disney’s own helpline had closed for the night. While most of them simply acknowledged the problem and that they were working on it, one technician admitted to Jeff that the problem was caused by a format “reclassification” of certain movies, and that a fix would be coming soon. When Jeff asked if this meant that 4K format options were being added to the system, the technician was apparently less than convincing in feigning ignorance.

Finally, several of our retail sources are now reporting that they’ve been told to expect 4K title solicitations from Disney to begin, likely in the 3rd Quarter of this year, beginning with Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2. One of Australia’s major home video retailers, Sanity, recently listed Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 as streeting on 4K UHD on 8/23. In addition, in the last 24 hours, Best Buy Canada briefly listed Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 as “coming soon” to 4K UHD, but that listing was quickly pulled.

All of this suggests that the gears are turning at Disney and that the studio is finally moving to adopt the 4K format in the months ahead. We would expect to receive confirmation on this when the studio finally officially announces the home video release of Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2 in the coming weeks. So stay tuned on this front.

Nice! Cant wait to see all the titles. I really hope they dont just upscale all of their previous 2K releases and release them as 4K. Also, equally important, i hope they properly work on the HDR. MCU is filled with colourful titles and i hope they do it properly.
