The Matrix 4K UHD (1999)

[Vangeli]

Remember when Blade Runner came out and was $32, but some stores had it for $38? Ah, fun times.

[OutOfBoose]

Alright, this looks bloody brilliant.

I've been jerking off to "The Eyes of Truth" on daily basis since March 13 and looks like it paid off.

Looks like this is just about impossible to find right now. No store have it (not that shocking). I tried to have it delivered with next day shipping from Best Buy yesterday and got a item delayed email at midnight. Next time I’m not going to hold out on a preorder for a better price. I tried to order through amazon prime last week after I realized the price wasn’t going to drop and prime release day delivery wasn’t a option, never saw that before. I even called a FYE this morning and the lady said they didn’t get any. I’ve given up and placed a order with amazon and will just wait it out. Atleast I have Jurassic Park 4Ks to hold me over.

Amazon.uk has this for 16.66 pounds after the tax is removed in the checkout stage; that's $22.38. Add about $5 to ship and you're at about $27 grand total.

But then you have to wait 6-10 days for delivery and the included blu-ray might be region B locked, but it is another option for the price conscious.

The 4K iTunes stream on my iPhone looks INCREDIBLE. Yeah, I know it’s not the same experience but based on what I just looked at, very much in line with the UHD look and not the remastered BD look.

The time to upgrade the television has finally arrived.

All the included Blus are region free.

Just spent 51 bucks to get it tomorrow from Amazon. So sick of these things not being in stores. Do these companies think that these movies won't sell?? I don't get it. They're obviously stupid. Yet, these are people in suits we're talking about.

[OutOfBoose]

Still amazed how relatively close it is to the theatrical trailer. I was dreaming about getting a remaster like that.

So... This isn't available in store? Just curious if people actually checked versus relying on what the site says, wouldn't be the first time that they've received less then the alloted amount for it to be shown as in stock on their site. Still a few hours before they open here but don't really want to go when it opens at 10am.

None at Walmart. Will be checking Best Buy and Target here soon.

I really want to find a copy today but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Definitely not Target in my area. I ended up going to 2 different locations for my weekly grocery runs and neither had it. I was getting upset because their ad mentioned the 4K Jurassic Park collection but I couldn’t even find that, eventually I found it at the end cap in the front of the store.

At my store (BB), we received no copies. Thought for sure I’d be putting this out today but nope. We might get some next week...

I was also blown away with the matrix DVD, but the thing is, back then I had CRT tv, and on TV's like that even SD content looked AMAZING. CRT were displaying (especially in RGB mode) amazing colors and contrast (with true blacks). People here can look at DVD screenshots and see blurry and ugly picture, but on CRT the same screenshot will look amazing. I have 2x HDTV's, sony 4K and panasonic fullHD plasma, but both HDTV cant rival my old CRT when it comes to natural picture punch and vivid colors (DVD looks like garbage on both HDTV, but the same DVD will look amazing on CRT).

Price is still outrageous for a 20 year old movie.

[NealHanna]

Went to the local Best Buy hoping they might have a copy, and the CS guy said the closest store with stock is 2,000 miles away. Didn't sound like my store will get any copies this week.

Just ordered on Amazon. One day shipping's only $3 so I can deal with it. Hopefully it'll actually get here tomorrow.

Did you price match BB?

[ronboster]

Tyrok reported that BB stores should get their copies late today, but you may have to ask for them to check in the back (for supply) since they probably wouldn't be on the shelves today. As always, YMMV depending on your store.
