Kaleidescape Store History - Studio Add Dates

I had been wanting to do this for a while and finally got around to it. Here are the dates that Studios where added to the Store along with a few other key dates. All the dates are gleaned from either posts in the Forum or Announcements from Kaleidescape.

It is interesting to look at the initial roll-put. The Store came online with Warner Bros. in 2012. The next Studio (Lionsgate) was added a year later in 2013. A year after that in 2014 the third Studio (Sony) was added. I suspect that the people that were around then are a little more patient with the roll-our of new Studios now. However, there is one big difference. Back during the initial Store roll-out we had the option to just buy the disc and load to our servers. That is not an option with 4K titles now.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy seeing the history!

I am missing some dates as listed below so if anyone has any of these dates let me know. Also, if anyone sees any errors please let me know and I will correct.

It is pretty clear that Shout Factory titles are being added to the Store so I have added this to the list.

A collection has been added. It also includes the Studio Ghibli movies(separate collection still exists). Guess, Shout Factory must be the distributor for Studio Ghibli.

 
The Metropolitan Opera is no longer available. I am not sure when this happened. I checked with K and they confirmed this is not just an oversight.

ETA: Any “purchased“ content should still be available in “My Movies” list (all of mine are still available).
