Interesting. I gave the first few minutes a watch and wasn't hugely impressed with the picture quality. Definitely better than 1080p but it was only a cursory glance. Watching it this evening in it's entirety so I'll be better able to judge then.

    As a UK resident, I can't order it, it's showing as unavailable. It's on the UK site but it costs £25.

    It might be worth reading the 4K Dredd thread over at Blu-ray.com

    It's seems there isn't a perfect version of the film. I believe the US 4K by Lionsgate has the best picture but another region has the better sound quality.

    In terms of normal Blu-ray, apparently the Japanese release is best but that's now expensive and hard to find.

    Thanks for the tip though, may it make many Irish Dredd fans happy.

    I might double-dip on Legacy if this is a legit remaster.
    Not sure that the original will see much benefit vs. the existing Blu-ray, but then again HDR can be a hell of a thing.

    Yeah, I think the news has crashed the website! 😆

    Here are some images from an alternate source. Apart from the steelbook images, they haven't announced the technical specs or any bonus features yet.


    Here's a look at the physical versions of "Tron" and "Tron: Legacy":

    A couple of years ago, I found a copy of The Matrix on VHS in a charity shop. It must have been a special edition as it contained a little 5 minute making of feature after the film.

    It was a beautiful cardboard case with silver inlay and the tape was still sealed in plastic. I haven't had a VHS player for decades but I wish I'd bought it now just to put on a shelf.

    @UKFilmNerd I saw this. Can't imagine picking up new VHS cassettes, unless you still happen to have a player and it's an obscure title that isn't available on disc. I think it's funny that they recycled a tape from Green Acres.🙂 Me, I got rid of my VHS player years ago. I still have a few cassettes though-- such as the original Star Wars series.

    Damn his background looks eerily like Technology Connections background. We still have a VCR. And some tapes but they are old and the quality isn't as great as dvd. But you know what I might start collecting them again. It be better than being stuck with all the different stresming services. Also they still make blank tapes just have to order them special.
