Hi All ,why is a blu Ray disc included with the 4k release.I don't ever remember getting a DVD with a Blu ray release.It would make the price cheaper.
Oh I thought it was a blu ray version of the film included .The only reason I can think of, is that the Extras are only on the BR. Some also have different video or audio formats.
Yes, the BR has 1080p movie and 4K Disc is 2160p with HDR / DV.Oh I thought it was a blu ray version of the film included .
Ok ,but why the Blue ray ,I understand Doby Atmos ,Dtsx ,why would you want an inferior product included.Yes, the BR has 1080p movie and 4K Disc is 2160p with HDR / DV.
Blu-rays used to come with included DVDs in the case. When blu-rays stopped coming with included DVDs the price didn't go down...No, it's none of those reasons. Money. Money is the reason.
With more discs in the package, the studios can "justify" higher prices.
Leaving more space on the UHD for better bitrates/lower compression (although apparently a lot of UHDs aren't exactly filled to the brim )Yes I definitely remember many blus coming with the DVD version. The 4k discs tend to have little or no extras on them. By sticking in the standard blu you get the extras that are included on it as well as the actual film.

...so they are actually making more money now at the same retail price, than when they were in the Triple Play days (now lower costs & no DVD), so ‘more discs justifies higher prices’ doesn’t really fly.Blu-rays are far cheaper now than they were in the early days.
Price isn't related to content. Some disks have lots of content, some hardly any. Some have two disks, some just one.Blu-rays used to come with included DVDs in the case. When blu-rays stopped coming with included DVDs the price didn't go down...
Sort of my point. So I'm not sure if you're disagreeing or disagreeing with me.Price isn't related to content. Some disks have lots of content, some hardly any. Some have two disks, some just one.
The only thing to be certain of is it's a premium at launch and then the price generally falls with time.
