I was at 1U last weekend to get my hands on some 4K Blurays I missed out throughout 2019 and during the MCO. Disappointingly there wasn't anything too new. The more recent titles I got was only Terminator Dark Fate and Spider-Man Far From Home. Those were full price when I went there. Of course that was before the Speedy closure announcement on Monday. They also had a buy 2 for RM199 deal for select titles. I got Mission Impossible Fallout, Deadpool 2, Detective Pikachu, Toy Story 4, Shazam, Ralph Breaks the Internet, Lego Movie 2, and Ant-Man 2.

I also checked the Subang Parade branch, but they didn't have the RM199 deal for 4K Blurays. And there's no further discount on 4K Blurays too. They did have some unwanted Blurays selling for RM35 for 7 or something. I was hoping to find John Wick 3 or something more recent. But I guess they already stopped bringing in new movies for a while now.
*
actually i was kind of half-hearted to go to speedy even though with the sales because i already knew what they're selling... mostly not in my list. well; unless if the price go down really dirt cheap then probably i will be interested. but if based on the price range offered, they're not really that cheap... at least not to my price requirement threshold for me to buy. understandably, they also have no intentions of bringing in latest titles since they're closing down for sure...

btw thanks for sharing your insights and experience going to both outlets thumbup.gif

i went to SPEEDY at Subang Parade yesterday evening and bought these two titles – Puss in Boots (BD) & Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (3D-BD) for RM10 each... not bad deal at all! thumbup.gif actually i took the Puss in Boots 3D-BD but the sales lady told me that this release only comes in 3D disc only without the normal blu-ray, so she allowed me to take the normal BD from the 7 BD for RM35 selection instead.

i want to get Shrek 2 & Shrek The Third (both 3D) for RM10 each too... but there is no Shrek & Shrek Forever After for a complete set, so i pass... cool2.gif

nothing much for the 7 BD for RM35 ones... sad.gif maybe can check at One Utama again later this week...

Dreamworks 3D titles are usually 2 in 1. The 3D disc also contains the 2D version. If you play it on a non 3D TV it will play the 2D version. I happen to have quite a few of them.

ayak... should've grabbed the 3D version then, not that i have a 3D capable tv or player to play it on... whistling.gif btw, thanks for that info! thumbsup.gif

gone to SPEEDY 1 Utama earlier this afternoon, luckily today no more long queue… no queue in fact! sweat.gif

actually this outlet has a much bigger collection of DVDs, BDs & even 4Ks than Subang Parade's but nothing interesting on the BD selection, at least for me la… i think most good or newer ones already kena sapu when they announced they’re closing down early last week. whistling.gif btw, the best titles on BDs are not the Buy 7 for RM35, but only the 20% off ones blush.gif

and there are quite a bit of unheard / unpopular movies in 3D that they have like 20 stocks unsold.... i don't understand why stock-up so many unknown titles!?! doh.gif

anyway, i can share some 4Ks that i saw – terminator dark fate, solo, godzilla king of the monsters, venom, meg, aquaman, deadpool, spider-man far from home, hobbs & shaw, aladdin (2019) amongst others. thumbup.gif they are either discounted 20% or to buy 2 for RM199... but they mixed them up, so to differentiate only by the labeled stickers on them. smile.gif

ya true, absolutely agree.... although i dont have 4K tv and player yet, i do own three 4K titles namely Batman v Superman, Deadpool 2 & Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom because when i bought the price was darn cheap, well even cheaper than normal blu-ray at that time; around RM50 and below each nod.gif bought during black friday of course... whistling.gif

So grab while you can.

nice selection... i think i saw most of those also at Subang Parade & One Utama outlets too thumbup.gif

If the disc only 1 single disc and label 3D only, then that copy don't have 2D version.
They do have such version selling in speedy, so need to be very careful as 3D version need 3D player + 3D TV, else it won't play.

2 disc version will have proper label Blu-ray 3D + Blu-ray.

QUOTE(tripleB @ Jun 29 2020, 07:05 PM)
I'm aware of the titles with 2D+3D discs in the package of course. I own a ton of 3D movies. The majority of 3D titles do have separate 2D and 3D discs. You can't play the 3D version on a non 3D TV as you said.

But there ARE certain titles that actually contain the 2D and 3D versions on one disc. Most of them are from Dreamworks. And some are from Fox. These are the titles I personally own, which I bought from Speedy a long time ago.

Shrek Forever After
Monsters VS Aliens
Rio
Ice Ace 4

All the Shrek movies should be the same, although I don't own Shrek 1-3 on 3D. But the majority of other 3D titles can't play on non 3D TVs though. Anything from Sony or Disney. Anything from Paramount. Same with Universal.
*
i have to agree with bro andrewtst on this issue. if it is a single disc 3D version, it only plays 3D, no 2D... at least when referring to the one sold at SPEEDY which i believe is an Asian Region A hmm.gif

and for your info, the three Shrek movies 1-3 in 3D sold at SPEEDY for RM10 each i think; contains only the 3D version. just the other day my friend bought all three Shreks 3D (1-3) and thinking it has 2D version can't play on his normal BD player & TV doh.gif now he's trying to sell it back... luckily he unwrapped just one to check laugh.gif

Again, in most of the titles, if it comes with the 3D disc only, then it can't be played on non 3D TVs. Very specifically, only some of these can be played on non 3D TVs. I personally have these titles below, which I just tested again on my non 3D TV yesterday. I assure you it will work. When you insert it into the Bluray player, you will be asked which version do you want to play. Of course if you select the 3D version you will still get the usual "can't be played on this TV" message. All of them were bought from Speedy.

Shrek Forever After
Monsters VS Aliens
Rio
Ice Ace 4
How to Train Your Dragon
I don't have Shrek 1 - 3 on Bluray 3D yet. I can take it off your friend if he doesn't want them.
*
i guess the earlier releases may have only one version instead of two and somehow consumers complained and what do you know... there are two versions on later releases. well, it is just my assumption since Shrek part 4 (Shrek Forever After) has that option but not the previous three nod.gif

ok btw, i told him about your intention and he doesnt mind actually to let go those three titles if you're interested. but he's not a forumer here though... let me check with him again and will PM you if you're ok too

I ended up buying 2 from Speedy while waiting for the slow shipment from US.
Bought Solo: A Star Wars Story and the 20th Anniversary version Saving Private Ryan. Although Solo is among the worse native 4K compared to the rest of the franchise sweat.gif I got it since I’m a SW fan anyway.
Saving Private Ryan’s remastering and especially Atmos mixing is a great step up from the older DTS version.
*
i believe you ordered from Amazon US? hmm.gif did you choose priority shipping? normally that would take 3-4 days to arrive, but during this period, if it takes more than that there's no point choosing that option with that price IMO doh.gif

Regarding Solo, are you referring to the movie as a whole or the technicality factor of the 4K? just curious...

i would agree SPR in 4K would be so awesome, even the DTS dvd version already that good; especially during the Omaha beach invasion thumbup.gif

I believe he means Solo: A Star Wars Story having the worst in 4K for the entire Star Wars. I agreed with that, Solo is pretty bad transfer compare with others. Also Solo color themes is out from the rest, doesn't match at all with the rest.

QUOTE(Lego Warfare @ Jul 14 2020, 10:50 PM)
I can't remember which shipping option i chose, it was in between the standard and the most exp one. Standard takes too long, from at least 3 weeks to 1 month+. And shipping price is more expensive now too  doh.gif

Regarding Solo, the technical factors. Although the story itself wasn't that great either lol
*
oh ok, hmm that's pretty weird for a new movie to be labelled as "worst" in 4K technically; after comparison to the other Star Wars releases. or maybe could it be that the tone and color direction that Ron Howard and Bradford Young chose that are inconsistent to the other series in the saga... which may result in it being not-so-good 4K star wars? hmm.gif

btw as a side note, Solo is the only star wars movie that i haven't watched yet (i missed it during the cinema run and have not the chance to watch it after). i do hear a lot of not-so-favourable reviews regarding it, although some said not too bad... and others just meh. just wondering what Lord & Miller could've done with their version of Solo whistling.gif

ermm... looks like physical 4k players are phasing out, that'd be a shame. sweat.gif for now, i dont mind the sony 4k player as mentioned above, since my current bluray player has no issue whatsoever, technically & performance-wise.... but missed those oppo brand players though. been planning to get one of the oppo 4k ones few years back but budget hasn't been too friendly with me laugh.gif

btw, any of you guys expecting orders; parcels/packages from abroad? do you get them on time, delay? i read that pos malaysia suspended international mail... or was it only for outbound? i may have read it wrongly though hmm.gif

i'm answering to my own question... laugh.gif

anyway, just to share this with the rest: for whatever reason, the blu-ray release of 'bad boys for life' can't be delivered to m'sia because it is for north america distribution only (says one amazon.com customer service personnel tongue.gif ) however though, the blu-ray of 'bad boys 3-movie collection' can!!! that's the dumbest thing i've ever heard rclxub.gif but it is what it is.... cool2.gif
