Added/Updated iTunes Extras - Blu-ray Forum

jdavhill · 10-20-2020, 05:41 PM

Noticed a few weeks ago that Clerks — which has a PHENOMENAL extras package on its physical copy — was $4.99 on sale but passed because my rule is bare bones purchases are not really worth it. Today I randomly checked and noticed that Clerks now has the full 5+ hours of extras (Snowball Effect doc, etc) that come on the physical release. Chasing Amy is also updated with the full boat of extras.

I am kicking myself for not purchasing now (holding out hope that the bare bones Collateral digital copy upgrades to 4K w/extras in two months) but also figured it was a thing and want to know A) if we have any heads up or if it’s random, and B) If we can get a list going of movies that don’t have extras or didn’t have extras but have since been updated with them.

The Miramax catalogue has been bought by Paramount and they’ve gone on a relisting binge, so it’s possible that the $5 version has been replaced rather than updated. My copy of Sin City (in the UK) has the opposite situation, with the new listing losing all the extras. Some films are just absent at the moment, so hopefully there’s a process still underway and we’ll get good versions of everything by the time they’re done.

Yes.
Search in store and I get the offer to buy the film for £4.99 with no extras.
The version in my library has more than 2 hours of featurettes.
I can't remember if these are the same features that have always been on this release, I'm surprised the alternate cut isn't in there but I could just be misremembering that as I still have it on disc and it's on there.

Do you mean the version for sale has no extras but that the one in your library still has the old extras?

The one in my library still has the ‘5 hours’ of extras.

Oh awesome! I think Paramount is on an updating binge too, the Indiana Jones movies didn’t have extras before but have them listed now.

I’ve always wondered if/when movies that are bare bones update extras so this is very encouraging!

When were Indiana Jones iTunes Extras added?

Ireland has had Extras for a while and I’m just wondering if these are the same extras or have new been added?

Can you post screen screen shots of each? Or list the features?

There is a section on the iTunes Store that is supposed to list newly added iTunes Extras but it has not updated in a long time.

Used to be my favorite section in iTunes. Probably been 3 years since it was updated. They took the link out of the store too.

So the three LORD OF THE RINGS Extended movies now have all the extras and will be 4K on the 1st of December?

Is the extended HOBBIT trilogy just waiting on commentaries?

So I have contacted both WB digital and Apple about this.Harry Potter and THBP doesn't have the sixth part of the 'Creating the World' documentary series. It's on the blu ray in the hogwarts collection and all other of my digital versions have their respective parts. I know it's not the biggest issue but it's annoying. Has anyone else noticed this?

This is UK iTunes btw
