It's interesting that "Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins" is only $29.99 from Paramount, especially given it's such a new movie, and all of their other 4K HDR movies are $34.99, including their older movies. I wonder if this is a sign that Paramount movies are gonna be reduced across the board soon. It's also entirely possible I'm reading too much into it lol.

 

[TrackZ]

I Paramount price drop would be nice. Snake Eyes might also have just been dropped due to lackluster reviews/quality for the movie.

$8.59 to upgrade from DVD.

And yet Almost Famous from the same studio is almost $30 to upgrade. The weird pricing with D2D and upgrade is honestly one of the most frustrating things about Kaleidescape lately. Indiana Jones was almost $30 for half a day and then popped down to $5 after someone said something, yet we have titles that still are all over the map from the same studio.

I agree with you but I started looking at it like how I was upgrading my Blu-rays. I would pay full price and get the 4K release. Yeah, you could sell your Blu-ray copy and recuperate some and this is one of the major cons of digital copy media, you can’t sell it, you can’t lend it to friends or family, you can’t take with you. I am happy that some of my double, triple, quadruple dipping is over, at least with those with reasonable D2D rates

If Paramount's normal disc to digital or upgrade price was a set $30, then so be it. I would then decide if I thought that was worth the price for upgrade on a case by case basis, just like I used to do for disc (already own the Blu-ray, should I buy the 4K disc?). But the frustration is not that, it is that most Paramount titles (especially catalog) fall into the realm of $5-8 for a disc to digital or market update. I have done this for A LOT of Paramount titles including the recent Indy titles as I mentioned. So why is a high profile catalog title like Indy showing up for $5 and something like AF is almost $30. And again, this WAS the case for Indy when it came on the store but someone mentioned it to someone at K and then by the end of the day it was down to the pricing we TYPICALLY see from Paramount titles. Consistency is what I want to see, it eliminates frustration and the constant wonder if whether the pricing is wrong and I should wait until it is fixed. We had the exact same thing happen with the LOTR/Hobbit movies as well. It was all over the place.

I have only been a K user since March. Do the upgrade pricing change during the holidays when big sales happen for disc media? I assume K does some black Friday and cyber Monday sale but any change to D2D pricing at all?
