I'm not sticking up for the price I would like if it cost less but you can't expect a 3 Disc new remastered 4K steelbook to cost less than a 4K amaray with same discs content
It's not a steelbook repackaged with previous older blu-ray like it was in 2015
It's a shared print run European release
Price in Europe will vary but you can expect steelbook to be around €33 to €39 with various retailers in europe and with each retailer only getting limited amount of stock a big price drop be unlikely
YesYou think someone else will have the same steelbook available?

lol, £35, I couldn't care less if the amaray price is that high too, they can stick both versions right where the sun don't shine. They think that because everyone's going digital now, that they can/should shaft the few remaining people that buy physical releases even harder?
4K is nice, and I can tell the difference between it and 1080p, but 1080p is fine. It's not like the VHS to DVD jump, or even DVD to Blu Ray. They need to seriously rethink things if they plan on trying to charge these prices. I've spent a lot of money on this stuff but even I have limits.
Apple TV is not the new 4K remastered scan yet it's the older HD transferTotal agree got this on Apple tv 4k for £2.50 in there sales the price of steelbooks is going up and up no wounded these no money in them anymore
A non 4K steelbook with new remaster is not been released in the UK but that could happen laterSo Amazon is showing the UHD Steelbook, with "Format: 4K" in the description, but much cheaper than other retailers. Is a non 4K Steelbook planned and Amazon messed it up?
Thanks for the heads upApple TV is not the new 4K remastered scan yet it's the older HD transfer

When the 4K edition does become digitally available in October won’t Apple TV / ITunes (£5:99) automatically upgrade the previous purchase to 4K at no extra cost?Apple TV is not the new 4K remastered scan yet it's the older HD transfer

I doubt this will be a free upgrade from HD previous purchase with Apple TV 4K as it's a new remastered version of the film with new extras contentWhen the 4K edition does become digitally available in October won’t Apple TV / ITunes (£5:99) automatically upgrade the previous purchase to 4K at no extra cost?
I thought that they just updated your digital library to the best HD transfer
£35 is too expensive for for this new transfer and it will be interesting to see what the prices will be when FAC, Manta HDZeta etc release the inevitable limited edition full slips and lenticular slips as currently I am looking around the £50 - £55 price mark including delivery.
Digital copies have many benefits but you just can’t beat owning a decent quality Steelbook with all the bells and whistles
ITunes upgrade all movies to 4k for free you only have to pay once for a movie in the bottom or top of movies it'll say 4k or hd had die hard in hd then when 4k was released it upgraded free with the new extras i think there where new extras i may have that wrongI doubt this will be a free upgrade from HD previous purchase with Apple TV 4K as it's a new remastered version of the film with new extras content
It would be considered a new film listing
I don't have Apple TV so I can't be 100% if you would get it as a free upgrade be cool if you do
Have you got free upgrade before to a new 4K release that has new edition of the film with new audio and new extras to previous older HD release
Apple TV and itunes will likely have 2 listings in october.
I believe that the original Predator film was recently upgraded to 4K (not checked the quality compared to the previous Blu-Ray transfer) and added to the extras is the latest trailers for The Predator but I am not sure if any additional extras were added, Die Hard was also upgraded as far as I am aware.I doubt this will be a free upgrade from HD previous purchase with Apple TV 4K as it's a new remastered version of the film with new extras content

That's good free upgrade if you are into streaming films from Itunes on Apple 4K TV player which is on the increase especially with younger generation.I believe that the original Predator film was recently upgraded to 4K (not checked the quality compared to the previous Blu-Ray transfer) and added to the extras is the latest trailers for The Predator but I am not sure if any additional extras were added, Die Hard was also upgraded as far as I am aware.
I believe that there are other films but I have not really looked into it

I prefer though myself physical discs and attention to packaging etc
Streaming is ok as long as your internet collection is reliable but not as good as physical discs
I have this on pre order both steelbook and amaray collectors edition with booklet and art cards
