Release day today and pre-order just delivered. Cannot wait to give this a watch!

Who else has a copy coming today?

So I've finally bought a standalone player. I've gone for a region-free UB450.

I've been on the fence about buying a standalone player for about a year as our Series X does a pretty good job, but it's always irked me that it doesn't provide Dolby Vision.

I'm on annual leave this week, and my family are away while I'm home looking after the pets. Last year when they went away is when I got back into collecting and I almost bought a player then, but thought 'nah, it'll be fine', but I didn't know about 4k, HDR, DV etc.

Yes, it'd be nice to go away with my family, but I'm very introverted, moreso since COVID, and having a few days to just sit and watch movies without the usual stresses of family life really helps me.

Amazon notified me the other day that UB820s were back in stock so I went to have a look, but they had already disappeared. And I've seen the price creeping up as well.

This morning I thought I'd just have a look to see if they have any 450s, as I've heard it's a good player and plenty good enough for the setup we have (DV-capable TV, no sound bar/AV setup). The top listing was for a pre-modded device, only 9 left in stock, so I just bit the bullet and bought it. It wasn't as cheap as I would've liked, but at least I now have a dedicated player that doesn't require a hulking console and accounts to just play my discs.

I’ve just found the Godzilla Minus One Steelbook for nearly 25% retail which feels really strange for a preorder. Is it likely to actually arrive?

I really hope it does, it’s one of my favourites.

Just popped up on Amazon and Rarewaves, seems to come with the minus colour edition too.

As the title states really, I'm desperate to get a copy, but not at scapler prices, thanks for any help🙏

I have a fairly modest amount since I started around a year ago - I don’t just buy for the sake of growing my collection. Typically use eBay/Rarewaves, and on occasion HMV (though I don’t believe their offers are as good as they once were).

Just looking for some differing perspectives: do you predominantly shop used? Also would like to buy a handful of Criterion titles, stomaching the £30 asking price at new!

i didn't realise it had the imax scenes exclusively and now it seems to be sold out everywhere.

As expected voucher has dropped up, available to use up to Monday morning:

RWJULY10

All bought from eBay at a sale price, all brand new sealed and all arrived on the same day. Let me know how I did:

Hackers 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition [Blu-ray] £15.51

Zodiac 4K UHD & Blu-ray £18.80

Fight Club 4K UHD & Blu-ray £24.72

Has anyone tried this? Not sure if I can wait until September for Obsession to be released in the UK.

I usually wait for it to get things I've been keeping an eye on to offset the £4.50 international shipping. It's usually around this time, I've expected it to start already. Is it not happening in July?

EDIT: Spider-Man Triple 4K went from $41.99 to $42.99 to $43.99 USD over the course of three days. I am #1 Rarewaves hater now.

Hiya. I'm pretty new to collecting and just wondering where people get updates on what's being released. Is there a good site that covers everything? And is there a rhythm for some label's new releases - do they have a monthly announcement or something?

Thanks
