So the extras are only going to be on the set I don’t have a true hdr tv or a uhd player yet I hope this collection doesn’t go out of print.

Quick questions on the new set…

1. The new 4K disc films themselves…are they the same 4K discs already released, just with Dolby vision added? Or are these new masters?

2. We don’t know if each film case are slipcovers, steels etc yet, do we?

Yes but there on 100gb discs and carry the original theatrical audio tracks.

That’s probably not something I would have noticed, but I am all for the inclusion of original sound mixes and will support them when they’re released.

Some people consider it unacceptable revisionism to create an Atmos mix and new surround channels where those things were never intended. And some of the most egregious consequences of creating these *NEW!* mixes occur when studios change or add foley effects, mistakenly edit out dialogue (and other poorly done edits), apply copious DNR (thus unintentionally removing certain frequencies), and just flat out make the film sound quite different from the original. I would say those are the main reasons people seek out original audio, but I’m sure there are others.

Personally, I find it rather silly to create an enveloping surround mix for films that were never produced with that in mind. The original audio will always be my preference, unless the original track is so badly damaged that it just doesn’t sound good.

There are those who want an Atmos mix for everything, but those people are awful lunatics and should be ignored.

thank you, as I said I'm not well Informed about the audio world, but I want to learn at least some basics.

They look like normal amaray cases for the films at least based on the new image on HMV UK.

Thanks.

I’m talking the US release. Those pics look like they have slips based on the 2nd pic.

So we have the same transfers, just on 100gb discs and w Dolby Vision.

And it includes the original theatrical audio tracks you don’t realize how much of improvement 100gb is it gives you less compressed video.

You seemed to have missed this one:

Great point.

Does anyone know if the digital codes that will come with this set will be the same codes as previous 4K releases or the new Dolby Vision versions?

I pre ordered these when the set was announced. According to Amazon, these are now currently unavailable with no release date.

[Tommy K]

I think it’s sold out in just about every legit retailer online. Thankfully I got my order in a couple weeks back thru amazon

I wonder if it will be in stores.

[jeffarent]

On the Best Buy site, it doesn’t really give a good description of the set. No pictures either. Just says the titles of all 3 movies and 4K.

Yeah opinions and personal preferences don't matter here.
Just follow the herd and one will survive these treacherous forums full of "fans"

That said, I think not all Atmos/DTS:X tracks are worth it sometimes.
And not all original audio tracks will give you a satisfied viewing.
