I find that having a slip cover on a case preserves the plastic underneath and prevents it from getting that annoying bubbling effect you get from the cases being pressed against each other on a shelf.

What's the best 4K player I can get for a TV that has HDR10, no Dolbyvision?

WTF, just looked up prices cause I was wondering why not DolbyVision and drat. I paid $149 for a model that’s currently $249. And that was last February. I’m sure part of it is supply due to manufacturing chains, but what the gently caress. Like, why would anyone adopt the standard at those prices? Insane. Also, my B&N order looks to already be shipping in the next day. Also, a big LOL. 30 Rock’s Blu-Ray set sold out big time after the announcement about its streaming episodes. I myself bought a copy and used a coupon from BBY so I got a good price. But apparently resellers were getting $100+ on the set... it’s back in stock this week and cheaper than when I used my coupon. Just laughing at the poor saps who paid waaaaay too much.

Weird that parts 1-4 are getting new 4K scans from the negatives, JGTH gets a new 2K scan, but the rest are apparently the same transfers as the previous release.

Preordered the set. $160 is kind of pricey, so no Criterian sale purchases this month. I'll wait until the next one for the Bruce Lee set. There are about 10 series that I will buy, no matter what. Friday the 13th is one of them.

Agh. I don't need all that extra stuff but the original poster covers is so tempting. Is this going to be one of those "passed on it at $150, now I want it and it's $300" things??

Ugh, I think I'm gonna pass on the set because I just recently bought that Columbia Classics set and then this weekend the Bruce Lee Criterion set. lovely timing but I just don't think I can justify another $100+ blu ray purchase right now.

Origami Dali posted:Slipcovers are probably supposed to be theft deterrents. Way harder to slip a disc out of its packaging if you have to take it out of a box first, and that's usually enough to get someone's attention in a small store. And now they're priceless collectibles! Boywhiz88 posted:WTF, just looked up prices cause I was wondering why not DolbyVision and drat. I paid $149 for a model that’s currently $249.

About a year ago when it was announced that the Michael Jackson episode of the Simpsons was going to be taken out of syndication people were paying as much as 70+ dollars for that season's DVD set. Then like a couple weeks later nobody gave a poo poo again and you can get that for like five bucks. I meant to sell mine and forgot because that season sucks anyway.

Slipcovers are the one DVD/blu-ray collectable thing I don't understand at all. They're apparently a big enough deal though that everybody on blu-ray.com gets mad whenever their copy doesn't come with a slip, but it's such a thing. I'm only gonna have the spines out on my shelf so it doesn't matter, and if it's a Shout Factory release I just end up flipping the cover to the poster instead of the redone artwork anyway.

I just chuckle at paying high premiums to get some cheap tschotskes. My bedroom looks like a comic book store smashed into a hipster flea market and then they both exploded. Nothing about my life is utilitarian and uniform.
