I still buy physical media (4K only), but they have to be on sale. JB Hi-Fi have a Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale ATM.

 

I still buy CD's as well. I can't understand why Vinyl has made a comeback.

Saw that sale. Bit of a struggle to find anything that I reckon is worth buying and isn't too expensive, especially as I probably have the BR already.

I would like Joker and Rambo: Last Blood, from the sale, but can't find anything else in the same price range that I want.

 

Joker down to $14.99 on iTunes this week. I expect that it will drop below $10 soon. Rambo is only available in HD/DD+, so I would rather have the disc.

Joker, is a possibility. Really should get Bladerunner 2049, but is the improvement worth it over the BR. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (mostly to pretend I occasionally buy stuff for others in the family to watch 😀). Maybe Cliffhanger (mostly because it apparently just looks good).

 

And apparently some overseas discs get Atmos etc, but the local ones don't, if thats true.

 

Not that this is very related to iTunes, but variety is the spice of life...

I have both The Joker and Rambo Last Blood on 4K Disc. Both are excellent examples of what the 4K Disc format can do. They also have Dolby Vision as well which is a Bonus. I got mine during the first lock down when JB Aus had their buy 1 get 1 free deal going. Picked up about 10 movies that time.

Picked up Clint Eastwoods Richard Jewell and The Mule together for $12.99 on Itunes. Great price and 4K/Dolby Vision to boot. Watched Richard Jewell last night,excellent film. 7/10 for image(bright scenes had pop to it,pretty good over all) and 6/10 for sound(not much to the sound bar the Concert Scenes where the Bomb goes off. Not an action movie so sound was OK for what it was).

Just grabbed the Documentary Apollo 11 vis Appples Itunes store. Highly recommended for fans of the original Moon Landing,Giant Saturn V rockets and interest in a bit of history. Some footage was filmed using 70mm Cameras so looks quite incredible for such old footage. Highly recommended and priced at $11.99 with 4K HDR Support. Theres also plenty of excellent xtras to look through.

Yep - it is out on Neon as well.

Not in Dolby Vision. 0.99c is a better deal than paying for a Neon subscription.

Grabbed a few westerns including Shane,High Noon,High Plains Drifter,The quick and the dead(4K as well woohoo). Basically titles i would probably grab on Blu-ray and that i dont already have in my physical collection. Great deal at $4.99 each. Have purchased around 60ish movies since the first lockdown. Most $5-$10. Have an ATV 4K on the main Lounge OLED and the Bedroom TV so easy access to all of them with the swipe of a remote.

Picked up The Invisible Man (2020) this week.

 

I've been waiting for a price drop to below $10. This week its $9.99 for a limited time.

 

Due to the lack of premium new movie releases, I only have three more on my wishlist.
