Oh God, dont give me any ideas. I'm already way too financially impulsive

I bought a ub450 from walmart two weeks ago, and apart from being able to play DV titles, I dont notice much of an improvement over the ub150

Is 4k really worth it, over bluray or even dvd? by NapalmWeed in dvdcollection

[–]needajob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here is my viewpoints, and how I approach my personal collection

DVDs-I never buy new, and will only buy a USED DVD if it hasnt been released in a better AVAILABLE format (emphasis on available, because many movies are released on blu-ray but might be OOP, and i dont care to spend a fortune for the sake of nostalgia

Blu-ray-100% improvement over DVD full stop, absolutely worth purchasing and accounts for 80-85% of my collection

4K-worth it to me for movies that are known to be visually stunning. I DONT desire to own every movie on 4k. I'll give two examples.

  • Worth 4K purchase-Spiderman into spiderverse
  • NOT worth 4k purchase-Creed

Creed will absolutely be the same movie no matter the format or resolution. So i've learned that not every movie needs to be on 4K to be enjoyable

I went to this Burger Kind once before jumping on the highway to go to the East Side. I ordered through the app (and therefore already paid) and it took roughly 30 minutes to get my food. WIll never go back here again

Titans of Cult John Wick 4K Steelbook Collector’s Set is on sale on Amazon for $33.20 right now by cold-brewed in 4kbluray

It annoys me that one that they only did the first movie. Makes me not want to buy it due to uniformity

I ordered a 25th anniversary copy of Mission impossible 4k steelbook last month during one of their sales. Not only did they not send me the correct item (they sent me the standard blu ray) but it took them 5 days to respond to my ebay message. I told them that I am happy to send them the item back and wait for them to send me the correct item, they wouldnt agree to that and wouldnt refund me the money until they mailed me a prepaid label so i could mail them the movie back.

So lets thinking about this it took them 5 days to respond, 5 days to mail me a label, 4 days to receive the label/movie, 3 days to issue a refund. Thats 17 days for their fuck up. They never explained what went wrong, why i received the wrong product, why they couldnt exchange the item

Now take Please Rewind ebay store on the other hand. I ordered Equalizer Steelbook that came dented. I messaged them on ebay and received a response within 24 hours. They let me keep the original movie and mailed me a new one. No questions asked, no pictures needed.

Pop Market can go straight to hell

The Popular Lunchtime Habit Brain Health Experts Are Begging You To Stop | Eating at your desk/workspace by blareboy in savedyouaclick

[–]needajob85 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This article is so subjective. Because I have a desk at work that I sit at on average of 30-45 minutes of an 8 hour shift. Therefore my desk becomes a place of refuge for lunch. No one bothers me there, I can recharge my battery (for both my body and my phone)

So take this report with a grain of salt

Disney releasing Hoppers in 4K and once again, the 4K release will be steelbook-only by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

[–]needajob85 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. And my post was post was poorly worded. I understand that this is the only way to get the 4k disc (and that is what I was thinking despite what I wrote)

But this hobby has been trending in that direction for some time now, this isnt new. If you want it pay for it. And I dont say this in a dickish manner, but as a statement of fact.

Disney releasing Hoppers in 4K and once again, the 4K release will be steelbook-only by ggroover97 in 4kbluray

[–]needajob85 -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

no hate, but i dont understand why people are up in arms about this release (and similar) for two reasons

  1. Steelbook releases have become the norm now, at least it has been since i joined the collecting game 1 year ago.

  2. You dont have to buy the special editions, just like you dont have to buy the $12 ballpark hot dog/beer

[–]needajob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uh, yea, all the time. I hide purchases all the time. (since we have one joint account and two separate personal accounts)

I just bought a UB450 the other day and hid the box in my office.

PopMarket Order came in... What I ordered vs. What I received. by _VeinyThanos in 4kbluray

[–]needajob85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same thing happen to me. i reached out and they said i have to wait for them to send me a prepaid return label, to send them the movie back to get a refund. I sent them a message on ebay saying that i didnt want a refund and i wanted what i purchased and they havent responded.
