I'm assuming it's the same 4k transfer....or is it....it's probably not. DOUBLE DIPPING!

Ben_C · 10-22-2020, 05:07 PM

Question: how many times do I have to buy Oldboy?

Answer: just one more...

But in 4K HDR on UHD.

It should easily be an improvement (one would hope) over the mixed-bag that was the German 4K. This edition is from Arrow.

Jesus, Arrow are milking Oldboy to death. To death I tells ya.

I've only bought it once, which was ze German UHD. The compression is awful so I'll be grabbing the Arrow, but don't strictly need it as a steel. Then again, Arrow's regular UHD pricing is quite high so I might as well get the steenbok unless it's something stupid like £34.99.

Placed my order!

As if Tartan didn’t milk it with rereleases, boxsets, steelbooks either!

JohnCarpenterLives · 10-22-2020, 05:43 PM

OK.... I have the awesome trilogy limited edition. Definitely waiting for reviews on the PQ, , waiting for the eventual Arrow sale of the eventual standard release and swapping discs.

professorwho · 10-22-2020, 06:02 PM

Am I really gonna buy Oldboy from Arrow for a second time (and 3rd time overall)?

Yes, yes I am.

MifuneFan · 10-22-2020, 06:04 PM

Probably just me but I got a complete disco vibe when I first looked at it. Not a fan of this art at all.

I like the German steelbook artwork way better. But as long as it's improved pq, I'm buying.

UK presumably, seeing as it’s a UK release.

I have the German Capelight UHD. Very curious to see how the Arrow compares. Even if they come from the same source, the Arrow will probably have a better encode. But I'm really curious if it's sourced from the same scan as the German Capelight.

likely the same, I thought the German looked good, but it suffered from poor encoding/compression.
