Movieman:

Welcome to the Weekly 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray & SteelBook Release Schedule for Thursday April 18th.

This past week has seen a lot of new release activity in both NZ and Australia. Dates changed in NZ and a notable price rise for NZ titles. The Crow had a SteelBook Edition added to the EzyDVD website before it was replaced by the Standard Edition; only for DVD Land to list the SteelBook on their website at a reduced price. I won't add the SteelBook to the schedule until more information can be gathered about it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for the awesome detailed summary Movieman!

I wasn’t aware of the Event Horizon pre-order so that is great to know.

Cheers!

MJD76: I looked at a couple forums, and while some folk say it will get discounted before release, others reckon it will sell out.

Looks like the Steelbook is a limited edition. Not sure if there is a standard edition coming or not, but Taxi Driver was probably the most wanted title from Columbia Classics Volume 2, so you might be able to pick up a copy of the earlier release on eBay when people upgrade.

MJD76: I was excited to grab the 4k of Taxi Driver given it was a fav I never upgraded previously to blu ray. But Amazon has it listed for $45 US and steelbook only option. Pretty much $70 NZ which is pretty steep for a catalogue title. Hope this doesn’t become a trend.
I looked at a couple forums, and while some folk say it will get discounted before release, others reckon it will sell out. Still trying to feel my way with scarcity of some 4k. There’s already been a couple titles released in NZ, like Mulholland Dr and Heat, that are plentiful for 6 months then disappear.
Might just bite the bullet on Taxi Driver and use it as an opportunity to also pick up a couple discounted titles I want.

I hear what you’re saying re: titles available then disappearing.

I was lucky to pick up a 4k Mulholland Dr at a JB retail store (I forget which), but I’ve never seen it since. Similar with the 4k Heat, bought from JB AU, then shortly afterwards it promptly disappeared.

Unfortunately, I delayed too much with the 4k titles of Close Encounters and The Running Man and missed out. That still rankles…

I’m generally a discount man, but I did bite the bullet for 4k The Abyss. $90NZ incl. GST and shipping later - OUCH! I might have to do the same with Taxi Driver.

Cheers!

I have a really nice Zavvi UK Blu-ray SteelBook of Taxi Driver and I would love to replace the Blu-ray with a 4K disc. No point in me buying the US SteelBook, I just need a standard release. I don’t want to buy the Columbia Classics Volume 2 just to get that one title.

Just saw the Amazon pricing for the CCVol2 Set - Oh what the bleep! That’s a hard pass.

(Though I was tempted by the 80-page book, which has to be worth at least $3)

I might just buy the “Mastered in 4k” blu-ray copy of Taxi Driver for $15 instead and leave it be.

Cheers!

Just as a matter of interest. This is the Zavvi SteelBook that I want to upgrade to 4K. It looks much better in hand as the title and sunglasses are embossed and it has a semi-gloss finish.

Since I posted the Australian release schedule JBAU have either reduced the price of PURPLE RAIN (1984) from AU$34.98 down to AU$26.98, or I mistakenly entered that price due to several of the other titles being AU$34.98.
