They think people are stupid. For the most part they're probably right lol

Not the 1st 2k upscale to feature softness over its BD counterpart. But this has more softness running time and it sticks out since the BD has reference quality sharpness/detail for BD.

Like, its whole, "really soft despite ugly edge-enhancement," thing, felt like I was watching something on my old 720p TV!

As ray mentioned there are some that mention the softness but overall, expert (as well as user) reviews can be hit or miss. When I started reviewing my own discs for PQ (just as an amateur during my spare time) it was surprising to see how often those reviews missed the mark (for anime in particular). I love to nitpick every frame but noticeable issues such as Oblivion's UHD BD softness shouldn't be hard to miss.

So I'm confused - is the digital 'Dolby Vision' version the same that's on the UHD,or are they separate different masters??

We haven't got DV on UHD disc yet, so by definition the streaming DV versions are different masters to the HDR10 versions seen on disc thus far.

Anyone else in the UK had a mail from Amazon saying stocks haven't arrived yet?

[Aidey]

Yea I had the notification this morning , apparently it is not in stock anywhere

[foxborough]

Perhaps they are fixing the issues that have been reported in the US version.

I hope

If that's the case maybe they will have a disc replacement program for the people that already own it.

So why is this selling for £200 on Amazon

It launched today didn't it? So why is it OOS everywhere in the UK or selling for silly money

If only those rating logos were nowhere to be seen.

you could peel the HDR sticker and place it over the ratings logo's

[Mavrick]

So were there errors with this disc, or only in certain regions?

[DGilberts]

Has anybody bought both the US and UK versions and compared the PQ? I have the USA version and it's definitely softer than the standard Blu-ray.

Seeing as Lone Survivor US was literally the exact same disc as the UK one (right down to the ratings logos on the disc art!) I don't think that the UK Oblivion will be in any way different.
