Comment on Is Physical Media Getting Too Expensive?
psyc@lemmy.world 6 months agoI wouldn’t mind the steelbook releases as a collector style item as long as there’s still a base (hopefully UHD) release that’s reasonably priced. Unfortunately with streaming I think they’re assuming most people will just skip physical media and so they’re just trying to capitalize on the collector market while skipping general releases.

That’s a good point - are there examples of that?

I think the example of Drive in the OP was only released in UHD as a steelbook release

You can buy the 4k in thee UK - it was released by Second Sight Films in May 2022. It seems to be a standard £25 at most shops but if you wait for the sales I bet you could get a 2 for £30 (a fairly standard 4k sales point). So there’d be room to save a bit more cash if you waited.

I stand corrected. Must just be out of stock at the places I checked
