so the question is.....

does this contain the new 4K UHD that is coming out soon with the Dolby Vision or is it a repackage of the original disc?

The Hornets · 03-17-2022, 04:19 PM

Aren't there now possibly 3 versions of BOTRK on UHD ?

Original UHD - in UK, Europe and US
No original mono

2nd UHD - in UK and Europe but unsure if this came to US?
Added original English mono track, but no announcement of changed spec by Sony, just appeared.

3rd UHD? - the US steelbook supposedly adds Dolby Vision plus the original English mono track

As noted until people have the discs in hand we don't know if it will actually have Dolby Vision HDR plus no idea if there is this 3rd version whether Sony will use that for the steelbook in UK and Europe or will they just reuse 2nd version discs.

You are in the UK version thread.
You need to be asking in a US thread for this title.
UK version is only from Zavvi and shipped direct to customer's mailing address.

I am definitely getting this, but probably the US version from DeepDiscount. although in the end the price seems identical.

Received this today, bought for the DV disc not so much the steelbook, which I don't care any more for now I have it. Watched 20 minutes and DV appears more balanced than the hot HDR. A satisfactory double-dip. FWIW the disc lists DTS mono in the set up menu, but having selected it, the in film options show this as DTS stereo. Not being a purist, I used TrueHD anyway.
