I think it was the Blu-ray discs. I've given a lot of discs away since then, but when I cataloged them on K, the digital offers show both the theatrical and the extended editions for $4.92. I have all six in my offers but will only purchase the extended versions.

I bought the entire middle earth collection during the sale for under $100. So I have both the theatrical and extended editions in cinematic.

Curious about how movie upgrades work.
If I buy a film that is currently HD or 4K and it gets updated to a higher quality - is the upgrade applied or do I have to pay a upcharge?

I know on Apple TV - any HD to 4K upgrades have always been free and automatic.
hoping it is the same here at Kaleidescape.
Thanks!

Changes in resolution are paid upgrades: SD to HD, HD to 4K. Within resolutions the upgrades are free: 4K SDR to 4K HDR, 4K HDR to 4K Dolby Vision, 4K to 4K Cinematic. Upgrade prices range from <$5 to nearly full price depending on the studio.

No, if you buy an HD title and it upgrades to 4K, you will have to pay $4.92 for most studio titles. If it's Disney, Fox or MGM among a few others, you still have to pay almost the full price for the upgrade.
 
This is probably a very noobie question but I will have downloaded the 4k Cinematic HDR10 version and then have an update available listed for the Dolby Vision version. Should I be updating these if I don't have a Dolby Vision device? I know it will convert it but are the DV versions better than HDR10?

I'm not sure one is better than the other but on ocassion, I do think the Cinematic HDR10 version looks better than the DV version. Just today, I compared the DV and HDR10 versions of "3:10 to Yuma" and thought that the HDR10 C version looked slightly better.

I think it's up to the individual to make that judgement themselves.
