Suggestion: "Upgrade to UHD" and "Upgrade to 3D" Categories in Blu collections - Blu-ray Forum

Mayboy128 · 08-22-2018, 05:30 PM

Whenever you go to your movie collection, and then select "DVD," you will see a bolded category "Upgrade to Blu-Ray."

However, there is currently no such category for 3D and UHD Blu's if you go to the Blu-Ray selection of your collection. I think it would be very helpful for those of us who want to keep in the loop and see what standard Blu titles are upgradeable to have the following categories added:
Upgrade To 3D Blu-Ray
Upgrade To UHD Blu-Ray

This would also be helpful with titles one has added to their wishlist but haven't purchased yet. Why purchase a standard Blu when you find out there's a UHD coming out in two months?

Whether these pages would just list the master release for the upgradeable titles or the Movie pages instead of every 3D/UHD release is up for debate, but even the former options would give people the ability to see that they CAN upgrade, and just leave one to go through a couple of pages to open all the various releases in new tabs for themselves to compare and contrast.

This is a feature I hope to see added to the site; let me know what y'all think!

P.S.- I know some might point out that the first example is different, because 3D Blu-Rays and 4K Blu-Rays are still Blu-Rays, but I think there's more than enough distinction in terms of equipment needed and market share to justify this.

I just discovered these options in my collection a few minutes ago, and they're awesome! Great suggestion and I'm glad it was implemented

Aw, thank you! A user named iceman (who I guess runs some stuff on the site), fixed it after seeing another post in the Site improvements and Wiki thread in the Feedback forum!!!!

I really like the upgrade to UHD option as more 4K releases come out. I still have an Inception DVD -- not even a blu-ray -- and I've been meaning to upgrade it to blu forever. Now a 4K is out and I'd rather opt for that to futureproof. I think that feature would be super helpful.
