Samsung 4K UHD Blu-ray Player UBD-K8500

[Pieter V]

All right guys. Those that have Twitter. Please send messages to James Finn, PR guy of FOX.. We need an explanation why there is no Dolby Atmos on 4K UHD Blu-ray from 20th FOX. Even their biggest title The Martian suffers by this move.

I went ahead and cleared an area in 3D for the 10 Fox titles. The whole first section will set be for UHD next week.


Heres the front and back of 7 that came in.

But, you know, geographically, we'd be at the tail end of any sort of delivery, so my expectations aren't high to actually see a disc in store .

I hope for Sunday, too.

All Fox deliveries come from Huntsville, AL.

Do will they be displayed or do u have to ask for them?

They are still $29.99 but that may change on Sunday and you could get an adjustment.

People are reporting that many best buys are refusing to sell stating that the street date is February 14th?

Oh WOW! That sucks. I just added a Dolby Atmos receiver like 2 weeks ago.

Done, now lets see if he has the decency to respond

Some of the prices surrounding the ultra HD titles make the $29.99 price tag look reasonable, Iron Man 3 in the top right corner costs $42. Although I can't see how the advert at the left is appealing, $9.99 sure that's cheap enough, but "and up" seems stupid, shouldn't it be Blu-rays for as low as $9.99? what's the benefit in "and up" lol.

lol after thinking about it the "& up" can only be there to protect the shop from people thinking that everything on the shelf is $9.99. That's because I am so used to seeing it worded as "Blu-ray's from as low as £9.99". looking at it from a customer prospective the "& up" wouldn't drag me to the shelf as quick as "From as low as £9.99". Also it seems odd that they are priced $9.99 and not $9.11.

Either way next to Iron Man 3 and The Avengers they look reasonably priced but I'm not paying £29.99.

Thanks the more the better. This 20th FOX line feels so cheap, you can smell from miles and miles re-releases are unavoidable. With slipcovers and Dolby Atmos audio.

The only player I have anymore is this new 4K. I don't see why you couldn't play a dvd or bluray in the 4K player and just not have it upscale it. What am I missing?

As with a blu-ray player scaling dvd to 1080p, Ill only be using this player and it can scale 1080p blu-ray to 2160p. Not gonna sweat it.

All of my local BBs are clueless. Or the person answering the phone is.

Well, I'll wait until Sunday to make a visit in person.

My local Best Buy doesn't have any on the shelf, but the one in downtown San Francisco does (they have 10 copies of Kingsman). I'm thinking of driving down there. If they are on the shelf, would they refuse to sell it to me? Don't want to do the drive for nothing but the lady on the phone there said they were in stock.

Ups moved the delivery date from Thursday to Friday and now back to today. It's on a delivery truck now. Yay!

The street date originally said 2/14 when they came in this morning. I notified them that they wouldn't ring out at the registers and they changed them all to 2/11. Tell them to look up the date in the system if they refuse. The box they come in says "Set 2/14" which is different from the usual street dated product.

I dont guess I should really sweat getting discs too soon, my denon wont get the 2.0A/HDR update until the 18th
