Movie Updates

We would refer to that as an "upgrade" rather than an "update", since the movie is now available in a new quality tier.

I wore the bits off of the soundtrack album for that movie back in college, by the way. Music by Wang Chung.

I wish I knew the file size of the KL disc to compare to K’s offering. Or maybe you can tell me how you beat it by 10%, as is often the case.
 
Thanks. That’s a significant difference in favor of the disc for once.
I'm thinking there's some other extras on the 4k disk possibly, but I haven't seen if that's the case or not. I have this on 4k when I get a chance, I'm going to see what else is included on the 4k disk if anything other than the movie.

The extras are all on a separate Blu-ray disc. The 4K disc is just the movie.

Just got a notice for a DV update for Dark Crystal and downloaded immediately…. 👀
For any Non-E/V users, be aware that this update may also trigger an HD update that will strip the Extras from your Terra. I might recommend manually deleting and re-downloading only the 4K file if you want to maintain prior Extras until they’re converted.

Hopefully this means a 4K HDR Labyrinth is on the way. Yay K!

Also, as a prior owner of the Sony release, this is showing up as a new store listing that I already own. I fully expected to have to re-purchase Shout!’s release like I did on other stores.

I thought you always had to manually delete the file before you could update. Have I been doing it wrong all this time?

Yes - click update and the title will automatically be deleted and replaced with the new one.

I’d love to see that 4K HDR Labyrinth on K as well! Definitely a good sign seeing this 4K Dark Crystal arrive.

There are extras listed, at least they are now, and not that I've compared for completeness. Was this a general warning or noting that some haven't made the trip?

Regardless of whether they were there before, anytime it offers a new 4k+HD, and doesn't list any extras, I just manually pull a new copy of the 4k. Sadly, that will remove it from the available update list, but not likely to be much benefit in pulling the HD copy at that point anyway.
