Comment on Home theater fans are being starved of the new 4K Blu-ray releases they want and it's not okay

Well if the quality doesn’t matter maybe we could at least get a VHS release. Or maybe laserdisc.

But seriously I do understand that angle. And I assume that there’s a certain threshold of sales that make it worth doing especially when a lot of stores are reducing or eliminating physical media sections (except records of course).

Speaking of records I think that that is where you could pivot the bluray industry. Make a bigger package with specially tinted discs and lots of behind the scenes photos or interviews on a fold out cover. Maybe even make people get up in the middle of the movie to flip the disc over? (Ok maybe not that last one.)

That’s what these boutique Blu-Ray houses do - you can get boxes, slipcovers, steelbooks, posters, lobby cards, pins, fabric badges, stickers, movie replicas and all sorts of other junk you wouldn’t give house-room to if bought separately. I have a zombie movie that includes a novelty condom - I suppose it might come in handy in an emergency but a novelty zombie condom may be a passion-killer.

The John Wick 4 Limited Collector’s Edition 4k includes:

Specialty Marquis Pin

6 Double-Sided Art Cards

Custom Map of Paris Poster

Hotel Key Card & Themed Folder from the Osaka Continental Japan

Reviews suggest it’s a bit cheap looking and everything is low quality compared to the JW3 fancy release which is a thing of beauty.
