UHD Review Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 UHD Review (1 Viewer)

[Adam Gregorich]

Sam,

I just redeemed my code at DisneyMoviesAnywhere and I got the same HDX only.

I had heard through sources that the UHD was supposed to come with 4K download (like Paramount does). Let me make some inquiries as mine is showing HDX only too.....

 

[Tino]

Me too. HDX only

Called Disney. They said to get the UHD version on vudu you have to buy it directly from vudu. Otherwise HDX only.

In otherwords, f*** us! A great way to take care of your consumers Disney.

It's because DIsney Movies Anywhere isn't geared up for 4K yet. Once they have DMA up to speed they should be able to handle 4K redemptions, but right now they can't.

That's just as bad to me. This industry keeps rolling out formats that are not ready for prime time so that the consumers get the maximum value out their formats.

I preordered mine from BB the day it was first available for preorders. It did not ship. I received an email today that it was being delayed, with no further details.

I really hate this retailer exclusive stuff. It's not right that they can't even fill their "day one" preorders. I don't have a local Best Buy (except for a semi-local one nearly an hour away that never has anything in stock and lies about it when you call) so I guess I just don't get this release?

Yep, same boat and it won't let me cancel it so I can just go get it from the store. I'm done with Best Buy pre-orders, in fact done with Best Buy unless it is something I can't get somewhere else. This is coming from a multi-year Elite Plus member... They obviously don't know how to keep there customers happy.

 

[DavidMiller]

Again, can someone actually post a screenshot showing it redeeming in 4k?

Multiple UHD purchasers at AVS are saying it is HDX only.

And Bluray . com apparently, I don't go there.

No one should be able to, I posted in one of these threads awhile ago that this was only going to be HDX.

Will they let you change it to store pickup?

 

[DavidMiller]

Nope all options are locked out... This is the 3rd pre-order they have done this to me in the last 3 months. The other two times I was able to cancel and re-order doing store pick-up. Needless to say final straw.

 

[DavidMiller]

Funny, just went in again and it is now saying it shipped.

And yet _I'm_ the bad guy around here for pointing out how shitty the UV format has been for consumers. For the last four years =)

Many of us have recognized the deficiencies of UV format, but you're more like a broken record in that regard.

I just got a preparing for shipment email so here's hoping! Better late than never but still a frustrating experience.

 

[Sam Posten]

Guess which dumbass actually bought TWO copies of the Steelbook and is hoping there is a serious market deficiency? Derp.

 

[Ken_McAlinden]

In case anyone was looking for verification, the 3D version does include the variable aspect ratio consistent with the IMAX 3D presentation.

When they are sold out in a few days, and averaging $100 on E-Bay, you can thank yourself

 

[Jonathan Perregaux]

I would like to thank the United Parcel Service for pushing the red button on my Steelbook and bending the Christ out of it. It even says DO NOT PUSH!

Got the email Monday night from BB that my 4K/3D steel book preorder (from July 11) was delayed. If it didn't ship by September 20 they would cancel the order. What garbage.

So I waited until 1:30AM eastern time and it became available for purchase and in store pick up at my local store. Placed that order and picked it up Tuesday morning. Of course later that day I get the email saying that the original order has shipped.

So I'll either sell the extra to a friend at cost, or sell at a profit on eBay.

Looking forward to watching it in 4K on my projector this weekend. Will probably take in a 3D viewing as well.

I almost did the same thing but I was just going to pick up the non-steelbook version this weekend. However, it should be waiting for me when I get home.

This is a fine looking disc.
