They need to have a universal standard on price for a 4K + 2D set and yes I whole heatedly agree, £25 is the sweet spot if you ask me. Now for a 4K + 3D + 2D $38 or $40 would be reasonable. The 4K televisions and players have seriously reduced in price in the last couple of years, now is the time to also apply that cost reduction to the physical media too imho.It sure is! I think £25 is the sweet spot for 4K Steelbooks. If they were all priced at that I think it would be more reasonable.
So sick of 4K only steelbooks
You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You continue watching inferior blu-rays. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes - The amazing world of 4K.
I mostly agree with you. Still remains the fact that the Steelbook market is a niche. On top of that the 4K market as well. The average Joe doesn’t care about 4K. This is also for Steelbooks the case.
Take the blue pill and avoid the matrix 4K allusions and enjoy the already good Blu-ray picture quality it provides and save money by purchasing Blu-ray only
No need then to pay money on a 4K TV or UHD player
Only joking with you
It's the price that's the problem for those who have no interest in spending a lot of money upgrading to 4K when Blu-ray already provides excellent picture and sound quality
If distributors want high volume unit sales of 4K UHD Discs drop the dealer prices for retailers so they can sell new release films on 4K UHD releases with Blu-ray included at around £24.99 or less that way those who not upgraded yet to 4K are not paying too much for a UHD disc they may not be using until years later if they plan then to upgrade to 4K
When your’re in the Steelbook collecting business you know you’re in a niche market, thus paying for it.
You could also get the Amaray, which costs less.
You simply could embrace it, or stop it. Nobody’s forcing anyone.
I think they don’t. It’s staying ahead of the competition. Our studio is doing 4K already!! Other studios not. With us you get the latest and the greatest.Well that's exactly the problem with 4K steelbooks they're making us pay for 2 different "niches" at once. It's not like they force 4K buyers to buy a steelbook every time they want to purchase a new 4K film - so why do they assume all steelbook buyers also want 4K by default?
