I still think the original Steelbooks from back when are the best...so far..I think I would buy the first anyway and slip this in the steelbook.

Man, this is tough for me.

I don't want to support shitty transfers in 4k (or ANY format).
I never bought Predator on BD because I hated the way it looked.

Predator is one of my all-time favorite movies.
I only have it now on DVD, but blind buying this in 4k is a dangerous prospect.

Well, it HAS to be better than before. Just HAS to be.
Won't it be?

Exactly the same as me although I have pre-ordered the trilogy (HMV in the UK) simply because it worked out £11.67 for each film. If the transfer/s suck then I'll either return it or eBay it.

To be honest though the chat about the iTunes version is very encouraging so hopefully they haven't done a T2.

Artwork for the trilogy on HMV has finally appeared. Same red samurai-esque artwork that Zavvi has, as I suspected. 4K, Blu-ray and Digital. Cancelling my Zavvi steelbook pre-order because I don't really like the artwork. I don't have a 4K player but this way I'm set for whenever I eventually do get one.

Same with me. They're £11.63 per film now.

I wonder if the trilogy will have individual cases for each movie or not?

Single six disc case would be my guess.

I don't think it needs Arnie on the cover -- the only way I'd want that is with the original poster, i.e. the infra-red Arnie.

Now, that cover above your post, I like. It's not just the Predator standing there. "Hey!"

[THGhost]

HMV's listing for the 4K trilogy set says there's 2 discs. That certainly needs changing.

Hoping to take them out of the main box when The Predator comes out, huh? We'll just have to wait and see.

Well, I knew they weren't going to add a remastered Blu-ray disc to the mix but what does that link prove? I'm not following.

It looks like they're reissuing the original BD instead of the UHE. It says BD-25 instead of BD-50 in the specs.

Unless off course the specs are wrong.

[fighthefutureofhd]

That can't be right. I've not seen any new release Blu-rays for $4.99 on day of release. Even the re-release of Straight Talk was $13.99 on day of release. It's Fox we're talking about. Not Mill Creek.

[Jlouisbarrett]

Has the three film set actually been posted on any online retailers? I haven’t seen it anywhere. I’m concerned this will be a Mission: Impossible situation where the U.S. only gets singles.

[Shand754]

From what I can see the US is just getting Predator on 4k UHD. There is nothing anywhere about a 3 film release in the US so I don't think Predator 2 and Predators are going to be available.

[THGhost]

I really hope that isn't the case, because I don't have a 4K player yet. I personally don't think that link proves anything. Why wouldn't they include a remastered Blu-ray?

I don't know how much trust we shall put in these listings, but at least the trilogy is listed somewhere.

Because it's easier and cheaper not to include a remastered Blu-ray. Because they don't care and they're lazy. Because they don't want to put that much effort into it, to be honest. Take your pick. Any one of those answers works.

[Blu MacReady]

Were remastered dvds included with blu rays?

Not to be rude, but what exactly do you mean by "keeping fingers crossed for a Die Hard approach"?

I assume he means on par with the Die Hard UHD, looking at the caps alone it's nothing impressive IMHO. Hopefully Predator is a bigger leap in detail, a new scan is long overdue.
