Pitch Black 4K UHD (2000)

[brainofj72]

I’m definitely not canceling my order over a slipcover. $20 to support Arrow venturing into UHD is a no-brainer for me, even if the edition will feel slightly less premium now. $20 is hardly a premium price point anyway.

No Slipcover just killed it for a lot of buyers.


It is as if millions of pre-orders suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly canceled!

My 4K disc is going into the Best Buy steelbook, so I'm good.

Nice, now I can wait until it's on sale

This. Canceling an order because of no slipcover is freaking dumb.

I wish they would remove the slipcover and reduce the price to $10

If any of those "printing error" slipcovers make it out of the factory, they`ll make quite a lot of money as a collector`s item

Makes you wonder what the printing error is/was

With them already delaying the release date, I wish they would delay it another couple weeks in order to produce slipcovers. I don't believe it would take too long to print slipcovers and place them on their stock.

That won’t happen lol. This is an Arrow release.

You think a slipcover adds $10 to the price? You people are nuts... do you want the movie or the cardboard outside of it?

[bergman864]

That sucks about the slipcover. I hope they don't produce them at a later date and screw over the preorder people.

When I first started collecting Blu-rays I threw away every slipcover I received, ~2008-2010 or 2011. I forget but I suppose after a few years I lost my focus on the movies themselves because my collection had grown to such an enormous size. So I suppose for many, many movies in my collection since I had/have not seen them , the packaging was all I had/have and so these days slipcovers, packaging and discs are all I have, so they matter. I don't keep track but my un-watched Blu-ray pile is enormous. I know I am not alone.

If Arrow’s first UHD releases don’t do well, they might decide it’s not worth it and scrap releases for more future 4K discs. Keep that in mind.

I realize a slipcover gives you that ‘premium’ feel but in this case, and especially at $20 bucks from a niche label, a slipcover should not be that big of a deal.

Also, who knows if it’ll ever drop to $15, let alone $10. This is a company releasing niche titles, not Universal or Lionsgate. Their standard blu-rays releases very rarely go below $15 so I don’t see how a UHD disc release will get there, it it does at all.

For $20, this is a steal given it’s a niche label.

I think FLASH GORDON will do very well.

truth be told a slipcover wouldn't keep me from buying it... but I wasn't interested in Pitch Black.

the 4K price is nice even at $19.99 for sure

This is the only scenario that would actually bug me. My 4K collection is at 100% slipcoverage so pulling this would be annoying.

Because of legal issues. There could literally be an artists name typed incorrectly or the incorrect licencing copyright info.

It's no doubt stressful and disappointing for Arrow - they wanted this to be a big intro into the 4K catalog world - I'm not cancelling my order over a slip cover or for a printing error.

I want films presented in the best way possible and for movies shot on film especially, 4K UHD physical is the best format. Wish Disney not having any plans for further 4K catalog titles from the Fox, Touchstone vaults after Home Alone and Hocus Pocus, we'll need companies like Arrow to be the ones to release all these films. Unless of course, people really do just want digital copies only.

Personally, I tend to buy a Movie because I want to see it. It could come wrapped in paper for me if it saved me $$$.

I would not overlook any Movie for the sake of cardboard
