That's my point... 4K is why they're so expensive. Obviously it'd be nice if they could include 4K and keep the price low, but that's never going to happen, so I'd rather they just didn't include it, or at least give us a separate 2D release.
Retailers end up with unsold stock due to only having 1 edition with 4K/2D when priced at £29.99 or more

A lot of consumers are happy enough with Blu-ray some even have a 4K TV set up in their homes and don't purchase 4K UHD discs.

Price of £20.99 to £22.99 or max £24.99 is best suited if a distributor is going for just 1 steelbook edition and those that have 4K TV setup can play the disc if they want while those that don't have 4K setup or are not interested in 4K not end up having to pay £29.99 or more.

At the moment separate steelbooks work best for both retailers and consumers with the prices of 4K/3D/2D only steelbooks
HMV need to realise this if they want their exclusives to sell well.
End of the day it's same steelbook when separate so it's not costing the distributor any extra costs in print run in terms of the steelbook itself.
They end up getting more unit sales if separate.

4K UHD steelbooks really only sell out when they are a % of a steelbook print run with most of the print run going towards separate 3D/2D or 2D steelbook

There is very few all in one 4K/3D/2D steelbooks priced at £29.99 that have sold out Blade Runner 2049 is an exception
The ones that have sold well mostly have been priced £22.99 or £24.99

War for the planet of the apes 4K/3D/2D only sold out when price dropped to £14.99 :rofl:

This will likely get a release in Europe with some retailers and be 2D steelbook only

Not true though, the first few 4K steelbooks (Shape of the Water and Kingsman) were only 24.99, which I think is an ok price. The original 29.99 4K discs came with a 3D one as well, which again, is an ok price.

To now start selling 4K only at 29.99, IMO, is too expensive.

This has annoyed me, as there are a few steelbooks I want, including this, but I'm not paying that price.

So I'll skip these and save myself some money.

I agree, I’m all for 4K Steelbooks but £30 a pop is too much. It would be much better if they did different versions as they have done with others to keep the prices down.

I agree it's a little pricey, I usually pay $35 for a 4K steelbook through Best Buy but paying over $38 for one... HRM!?? Man HMV is expensive!

OK, so it's Denzel's first sequel film . . . but that can't be the reason . . . and time stands still for no man . . . but does he or does he not look kind of weird in some of the posters for this film . . . maybe a case of too many pastries or cosmetic surgery gone wrong . . . or maybe it's just cos I'm so used to seeing him baldheaded . . . or image airbrushed to within an inch of its life?
I say, Get rid of the Barnet.
