ARIKIP:

Is there an easier way to find what movies have been upgraded to 4K/Dolby Vision in Itunes? I have quite a few older titles on Blu-ray that i would probably upgrade on Itunes if it was now available in 4K/Dolby Vision. Example being The last Dragon. Have it on Blu-ray but now will have to grab it via Itunes as its had a video upgrade....and not being available on 4K disc bonus...at the moment.

Make sure you set the iTunes Store is set to Australia at very very top right of browser window.

Thanks for the info RogerMellie. This will save me a lot of time in future 😃

Just something that' has become the norm rather than the exception in purchases of digital movies... the introductory prices of some titles.

I could accept the higher prices when Covid was prevalent, and studios were trying to recoup their losses when, in some, cases, their films never got a cinema release. I was going to rent the Jennifer Lawrence starring film; No Hard Feelings. It was $24.99 to rent. Needless to say, I still haven't seen it 😁 In my opinion rentals shouldn't be more than $7.99, and $24.99 to buy. After all, they are digital, not like physical media that we can display and have a hands on experience with at home.

Up for pre-order in the iTunes store is Barbie and Meg 2; both titles are $34.99, to buy, and will likely be $29.99 to rent when available. Asteroid City and Gran Turismo are listed at $29.99 to buy, and will likely be $24.99 to rent when available. Fast X and The Flash are still at their release prices of $34.99/29.99 which could reduce when both films are released on physical media in the coming weeks.

The fact that studios are beginning to abandon physical media is a worry; if these prices are going to be extended when/if most physical media disappears, it could start a golden era for cinemas again.

Films such as Indiana Jones 5 and Top Gun: Maverick have/had a $24.99 price tag on them, and are presented in Dolby Vision/Dolby Atmos, which, in my mind is fair for digital.

Rant over 😁

I've just been checking pricing on the titles mentioned above. No Hard Feelings has dropped to $19.99 to buy, and the new rental price will be available on September 27th. I expect it will be $7.99, and I will have a look at it then. Being new releases, Barbie and Meg 2 are still at a premium, but Fast X and The Flash have dropped to $24.99/$7.99. Indiana Jones being a Disney title is unlikely to drop from its $24.99 price, but may become available at a lower price in a "Limited Time" offer. Top Gun: Maverick is included in the Under $15 bundle sale with the original 1986 film. Asteroid City (Sep. 26th) and Gran Turismo (Sep. 28th) haven't released yet.

Also approaching release date are Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning - Part 1 (October 10th: $24.99), and The Equalizer 3 (October 17th:$29.99).

I guess the lesson to take from this is "patience is a virtue" 😁
