UHD movies in the store!

There are so many movies in 4K UHD Dolby Vision with ATMOS at the Vudu Store.
Wouldn't it be nice if these movies were available at the K Escape 4K Store? That will nudge me to get the Stratos Immediately...
Or like in UV If I bought these at the VUDU store it would be nice if they would be available at the K Escape library...
Make it work K Escape - we are counting on this..
 
For Mike Kobb: It is great to see UHD titles (more than documentaries) now in the Canadian Store. I have a question about upgrades for Blu-ray titles we already own: Why is it in the U.S. you can upgrade for $13.99 and in the Canadian store all titles are full price, even those you own on blu-ray? I know sometimes these new listings take time to get fully "up to speed." Is this something that will come?

Hi Wayne,

I know you and I already connected on this question, but for the benefit of others:

Each territory is different. Right now, we're not able to offer upgrade pricing in Canada, but we're working on it. I don't have any sort of date that I can share, unfortunately. This is the sort of thing that will basically get announced if/when it's actually available.

I think it's safe to say that just about everybody would prefer that things were consistent across different countries and territories, but the realities of content distribution are such that that's just about impossible.

Sorry I'm unable to provide a more concrete answer, but I hope this at least explains where things stand at present.
 
Thanks, Mike.

Maybe the studios will, at some time, get the hang of e-commerce/downloads etc. on a worldwide basis and regional differences will be a thing of the past. I just won't hold my breath!

Regards,

Wayne

On March 1st the 4K UHD disks of Sicario and mad max fury road will be released with HDR. So does this mean they will be available as HDR on the KStore as well? Assuming you have a Strato. Mine is still a few weeks out. Thanks
 
Hi Applemike!

Sicario is a Lionsgate title, and Mad Max is from Warner Bros. Right now, we've announced 4K Ultra HD licensing with Sony, Fox, The Orchard, K2 Communications and Moving Art, and of those, Fox and Sony offer HDR content.

Obviously, we're working to secure 4K Ultra HD and HDR content from all of our licensors who offer it, so this is just today's snapshot of the landscape.

More generally, we won't have HDR content ready next week, but we're working on having it ready as soon as we can. I just previewed some of it on big-name movies in our lab the other day, and it looks fantastic! :)
 
To say i'm excited for the next batch up 4K movies in the K store is an extreme understatement. I plan on doing alot of bluray vs 4K since I have physical copies of most movies about to get the 4K treatment.

Following up on what you just said Mike, if I download Mad Max in 4K when its available, but the HDR version eventually gets added, will it automatically update in my library? Or will i need to buy it again?
