I had Gladiator's Steelbook in my cart, but it disappeared when I went to checkout, apparently it's no longer available for preorder, so I'll have to keep an eye out for it when it gets back to pre-order status.
Do you own a 4k player? I have thought about getting one or just waiting until I get a PS5

I got a 4k player last winter. Not that upscaler POS either.

I made these purchases at Best Buy, btw, in case anyone else is collecting these particular steelbooks.

We all know that was mostly aimed for me. Lmao.

And yeah, I was gonna ask if you got them from Amazon or Best Buy. Jaws, Braveheart and Gladiator are musts.

The 4K player is cool, but I have a blu ray/4K steelbook of The Thing from Shout Factory, and I really didn't notice much of a difference, even with the 4K TV and 4K HDMI cable. The DVD and blu ray are night and day, but blu ray to 4K wasn't really that noticeable. The main difference I noticed was the 4K player taking way longer to load the shit. :p

I don't think their The Thing was a 4k scan though.

The one problem I have with my 4k player, is it doesn't turn on when I want. It's like the power button on the remote doesn't do shit, and the power button the front won't be acknowledged, unless I unplug and replug the power chord. I haven't grilled Sony about it yet, but it's basically just a nuisance.

Yeah, Just double checked their specs on their site. The Thing is a 2k new scan, so it wasn't 4k. The disc itself was produced just before 4k scans were more common, even though the steelbook case is newer, it's the same disc.

That's weird as hell. Are there different releases? I just pulled it out and it has a 4K scan, a 2K scan and a disc by itself for special features.

Well shit. Now they're really going into double-dipping. Their delayed steelbooks (as in, released their first editions, only to realize steelbooks are cool years later) used to be the same discs, just with new cases.

I've got close to 100 steelbooks and Shout's version of The Thing is right up there at the top of the mountain with a few others...

I haven't seen either Town That Dreaded Sundown movies. But I know the true story that it was based on, though. Really crazy shit.

I'd dip for the Arrow blu ray of Suspiria, but I have the 3-disc steelbook from Synapse and it is amazing.

Wouldn't mind Funhouse blu ray, but I own the DVD and I don't love it well enough to double dip...

My bad, I meant Synapse, not Arrow. I don't know why I wrote Arrow. Same company that did the bitchin' Demons steelbook (though this isn't a steelbook, that I know of).

Yeah, for Synapse steelbooks, I have Demons, Demons 2, Phenomena, Popcorn, Suspiria and Tenebrae. A lot of those are 3-discs with the movie's soundtrack. They're a close #2 behind Shout Factory, for me, as far as steelbooks go...

It's hard to keep up with their tournaments, but I know one was going on.
