Oh, and I've never bought any movie or show digitally. How about you?

they aren’t the same uhd blu rays disc 1) both films going to use 100gb uhd instead of the 66gb uhd 2) they’re using Dolby vision a higher quality hdr.

Its not higher quality, its HDR for lower quality HDR sets

Do we have any ideas as to what the new Artwork/Packaging might be for these new releases?

Good point. They can't very well just use the a la GB logo on black again here.

[JediJones77]

Hopefully not some awful "pop art," like those old Blu-ray Steelbooks. Those were some of the worst examples of "pop art" on a disc release I've ever seen. I couldn't tell if they were supposed to be the original movie, the remake, or Real Ghostbusters cartoons.

Hopefully something like the new Karate Kid collection.

Which steelbooks?

I have the GB2 steel of that steel series. I like it. But aye, the GB1 is a bit meh.

[sanjuro78]

Hopefully in better packaging. I liked the image on the steelbook, but five discs on two hubs was too much. I usually don't throw a fit over scratched discs, but all of mine were scratched in that set and part 2 actually did skip.

I’d be down with original theatrical posters as covers…or slips…but whatever the cover is it’ll still get bought.

I wasn’t a fan of the combined 1 and 2 logo on the steelbook, since it also added a hand for “1”, but I liked that it was just the logo with a black background.

[Darthbooth1978]

They could use the original black background with just the logos as the US releases had that strange collage behind the logos. The UK releases had the black with just the logo covers.

Never got around to upgrading to the previous 4Ks. Guess I'll get the new set!

I thought the steelbook itself was cheap AF. No embossing or spot glossing, not even a glossy feel just that nasty bobbly matte finish

I thought Dolby vision gives you more color etc. because it has a higher color space than regular hdr etc.?

No, but FEL Dolby Vision decodes to 12 bit pixel depth rather than 10 for more gradation data per pixel. It helps get rid of banding altogether at least. It works in the same P3 to Rec 2020 color spaces as every other HDR format.

[JediJones77]

A firehouse cover would be good for the new Steelbook, if they do a Steelbook version. And the inside could be the firehouse interior, including Slimer floating around from GB2.

If they didn't have his other hand showing 1, how would it be perceived as anything but a Ghostbusters 2 cover?

It can, when it's FEL (full enhancement layer), it's 12-bit rather than 10-bit. Sony uses the MEL version which is the shot-by-shot metadata of the HDR levels but stays at 10-bit. Any display can benefit from that because various tone-mapping schemes are all over the place and they always don't get it right. Lower end displays benefit even more because usually their tone mapping is garbage to nonexistent. But as Geoff noted with Labyrinth 35th, it tames the "wild" HDR of the previous disc on the high end Sony Z9D. Ghostbusters will similarly benefit.

[Geoff D]

But more bits doesn't = more colour, that's a common fallacy. It gives you more gradations within whatever space you're using, but not more colour in terms of exceeding what x gamut can do.

Oof…very true. And the discs are not exactly a pleasure to get out either.

Correct…the new logo makes sense, just not a fan of it. I do like your proposed steelbook of the firehouse though! That would look sick with my Real Ghostbusters DVD set!
