I'd like to keep my digital copies, thank you very much, but I would not care if you had subscription streaming executed.

If you hand them in anonymously, I won’t lock you up!

Seriously, hope you having a good day, I watched Blow Out 4K last night, very good film and very impressive transfer. Very glad I blind bought it.

That warrants a huge “Thank You” from me. I check here from time to time on certain older titles but forget some titles do not show here even with international selected. Was very surprised when I saw “The Keep” in your listing. I wasted about 3 seconds making my VS order. Also purchased Perfect Strangers. I have a DVD of The Keep and the PQ is quite good so have pretty high expectations of this UHD version.

For anyone else interested in The Keep I would not wait long to order because there is not many copies left of this limited release. And yes, it is pricey. Wonder if this will prompt Paramount to release this title!

If I hand them in anonymously, how will you know that I complied?

Maybe I crowned you too hard?

I hope you, and all of your royal subjects, are having a good day as well. It's too damn cold here, but other than that I am doing ok.

I already ordered mine direct from the VS website, but I still have not received an order confirmation email from them. I received an email from my payment method, though.

As to the price, who cares? My mattress was overstuffed with too much cold hard cash, anyway.

Because I will be the one collecting, and I know what you look like!

Yeah, it’s cold here too. I like the cold though, so I’m good.

If you recognize me relinquishing them, then clearly it can not be done anonymously. You're not making much sense. Not a good start for a monarch.

The cold really aggravates my already poor circulation; it's not just unpleasant for me, it is also a hazard.

This hobby is my only expense at the moment, so I stumped up the $25 Canadian to "own" the digital..lol...
I found the presentation to be very impressive for a stream. I was not expecting such an impressive ATMOS track for this feature (DD+ compressed) and the worst thing that i can say visually was that there may have been instances of excessive black crush ( no macro blocking, banding etc), but lighting clearly plays an important role in the narrative of this movie so I will see with the UHD if this was the intended look... although I'm not the type of viewer that seems to be increasingly prevalent here- claiming to see and hear the minutiae of differences from one presentation to the next.. this is easily a title that I'll be revisiting many times over the coming years if given a chance, so I will own the UHD...

I received two emails right away. Had purchased Silent Madness and The Beastmaster on previous orders so already had an account.

Might want to check your span list/folder.

It was a purely accidental coincidence.

Nothing in my Spam, Glorious Spam! folder.

I do not have an account, though. I used "guest" checkout.

I can see my order when I go their website using the "track my order" page. I guess that guests don't rank an order confirmation email.

Shouldn’t matter, I used to get confirmation before I was a member. Ping them an email.

2006, 18 years ago on Black Friday ordered 3 or 4 Blu-ray titles from Amazon. Did not have a player at that time. Shortly thereafter purchased a Panasonic DMP-BD10 Blu-ray player from Value Electronics for $1,050 ($1,645 in 2024 $s).

Added 8 BF Blu-ray or UHD Blu-ray titles to the library and have a Apple TV4K (3rd gen) on order from B&H. It was only $5 off but that and no tax* made it about $15 < Walmart or Best Buy. FWIW, B&H is an authorized Apple reseller.

*B&H has a credit card called payboo, if you use it B&H still charges you the going tax rate for your state but they credit you that amount on your payboo credit card.

I was wrong about this being my first order with them; this is actually my second. I can't remember if I got an order confirmation email the first time, either.

I see. Shipping wise, they are very reliable so once you get sorted, at least you know you will get the goods and in good condition.

Maybe you could go to the dark side and order from Melusine? (Their sister site)
