That’s not that high? The limited steelbook is 55. $30 for a new release 4k is standard. That’s also just how Disney has been I got Maxxxine 4k for $23 on release. That isn’t Disney and is very fairly priced like most all releases have been this year This should be titled “Disney Physical Media Prices”
what really bugs me is when you buy a movie on Steelbook and they have 2 disc. and some where down the road they will come up with a Collector editions that has more than just 2 disc and when that all happens it sucks I agree especially when you really do have to spend so much more on some of these movies that you buy
I predicted this when everyone was in denial as fewer big box chains stopped selling or greatly reduced their inventory. Fewer sellers mean higher prices. The denial stemmed from ignorance and a love for gimmicks more than the films. Extra cardboard and steel don't enhance a film. But many will pay an extra 30-50% more (If not more) for gimmicks. I noted how, as this grows into a collector's market, it will become the new "Funko Pop", only not as many collectors. You don't need a player for a Funko and there isn't a streaming service to compete in. What I learned was how the collectibles bamboozle just keeps recycling itself and there are suckers born every minute. We are already seeing where people bought the "wrong" 4K and needed to get the "right" 4K. Oftentimes, the "right" one just has more cardboard and other novelties. Nothing will discourage new collectors more if they fork out $30-40 for a 4K and then a year later, a better transfer comes along. I bought my Wizard of Oz 4K for $10. There is no way I am going to throw $50-70 on the new anniversary edition because cardboard and the possibility of a better transfer. Why? Because at some point, it's about some valid status or sheer consumer stupidity.
If you have to have all the newest pre-orders and the ultimate packaging like steelbooks and Limited editions, then you WILL pay a lot more. I will usually wait until cheaper, or if its something like one of my favorite movies, then I WILL buy them at the pre-order price and premium editions but mostly wait and pick them up at the 50% off sales. The 4K movie itself, " the disk," is the most important thing to me..... To each their own, but if we are going to complain about the prices. Remember these companies have to make lots of money so they can keep making these great editions and movies but I still do not miss many of my "target" movies. I have slept on a few that I DID really want and didn't get it before it went out of print😢. But for the most part, I have bought exactly what I wanted for half, if not more than half off . So hopefully you do too, but let's not complain about the prices. 😊
I think Disney lost a lot of money they were expecting to make over the past few years on their “woke Marvel experiment.” This was during a time when Best Buy was still handling the exclusive steelbook releases for Marvel, and their partnership in the matter stung them financially as well. It is my opinion that the low performing woke Disney steelbook factor may have contributed to Best Buy quitting the physical movie market entirely. Now we have Deadpool & Wolverine, the only MCU title this year, and it was a hit with audiences. Disney’s gonna jack those prices up to make back some of that lost revenue on the likes of The Eternals. It’s a predatory practice, it sucks, and I truly hope all the other studios and boutique labels don’t become unaffordable to collect in the fallout of this decision.
Hello from Oregon, I have took a step back on my purchases. Now I basically just add to my 4K sets. For example Terrifier 3. I'll pick that up to add/complete the set in the same format. Side note, have you seen The Rental? 2020 Netflix, Shout Factory. Suspense/horror, really good. Dan Stevens stars in it from The Guest. Thank you for the video, NEW SUB!!
First, hell yeah fellow Oregon physical media collector! Second, thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it. Third, I'll definitely check The Rental out. So far, every movie I've seen with Dan has been good, and he's been fantastic in each role.
Yeah, prices are rising. Normally around here 🇫🇮 prices have been for new dvds about 15€ and blurays 15-20€, Checkedcout prices today, Deadpool and Wolverine, basic dvd is 20€ and bluray almost 25€ ...plus shipping 4,50€ 😐👎👎 they realy want to kill physical media markets....
The bigger problem is movies are coming with less digital copies lately or expiring quickly. Plus we are seeing this digital movoe sites disappear. And dont use disney as a high price example. DISNEY HAS NEVER BEEN CHEAP. Dont compare disney too the industry.
Spare no expense, Frank! (Kidding) It is getting really crazy. I ordered Deadpool but though it was way too high. I have to reason that as the price of a video game since I’m a gamer. I might only do it for the movies I love but I think this is the world we are going to live in now.
I cancelled my pre-orders for these because when I thought about it, I saw how ridiculous those prices are. I'll just get a slipcover variant at some point and be fine with that.
Hey Stephanie, I just wanted to say I watched your Horror Doc video and it was fantastic! Seriously, it was very good and very informational. I actually haven't seen any of them in your video.
@@Franksmediaandreviews thanks so much that's very kind of you to say. I'm happy you may have found some new documentary horror movies to check out. 🎃🎃
The fact they release 2 styles at such a high price just feels like a money grab to me. Disney and Sony are always the highest price at least until after release day. I've had to become very selective with steels and only buy something where I love the artwork more than the regular 4k
Only if you fall for it. I don't ever buy huge box sets with gimmicks like that silly TCM set with the chainsaw replica. The Deadpool steelbooks were easy to pass up. Didn't like the art on either one, ordered the slip version.
I do think so many of the newer steelbook prices is just price gouging. I remember steelbooks collecting dust at the stores with 10 dollar price tags just aa few years ago no one cared about them.
Vote with your wallet. I’m not paying full price for a movie like I would for a video game or a double feature set. I’ll wait until it goes on sale regarding the Alien: Romulus 4K Steelbook. Might just go with the standard 4K slipcover if anything
I'm thinking about doing the same. I'm just hoping the steelbook will lower in price, because I do want it, as it's been one of my favorite movies this year.
Idk what your talking about, I always have to go to eBay and pay the high price cuz these TH-camrs were the ones that waited at Best Buy so I could never get my hands on one lol
First time watching your channel love it but I want to know how much would a standard blu ray of deadpool and wolverine will cost??? With special features
Yeah it’s ridiculous. I did preorder the steelbook when it first went up, expecting the price to come down. I would have thought $39.99, but looks like it may be the $50+ when all said and done.
@@bdubbbsmoviehub me too. Possibly a few weeks after the release date. It'll be interesting to watch over time, and how many other studios follow suit.
Word I agree with you Frank. Disney can kiss my ass with their woke ass and insane prices. I love signs but I will not be picking up the 4K at their prices. Same goes for the Deadpool steelbooks. Kick Rocks Disney. You ruined my Indiana Jones franchise with the shit dial of destiny. They took the movies off of their streaming site. Screw em.
Well, again everyone collects differently. I feel like the ones that I buy overseas are releases that won't have an US release (ie Pearl, Phantasm 4k's). Personally, buying a local (US) 4k release at a high price is only going to strengthen the strategy that Disney is trying to set to the consumer.
@@jjthekollector Well JT, I can guarantee you I have not preordered either 4k steelbooks, or the standard release. That doesn't mean I don't plan on getting the movie, because I will, but as I stated in the video, I'm not paying $55 for the steelbook release. I'll most likely get the standard at $30.
Aren’t those just placeholder prices? I’ve preordered steelbooks months in advance for around $50 or higher and on release I get charged the usual prices for steelbooks ($34.99)
I normally would say yes, but from what I've been hearing these won't go down in price at least initially. Hopefully I'm wrong though. We'll find out soon.
Gruv is good with their prices, but damn they tend to sell on their pre orders. They had the Godzilla Minus One 4k steelbook for $35 and it went like hotcakes. I wasn't able to get it. They had the A Nightmare on Elm Street 4k steelbook for $29 and it sold fast too. I was able to get the Nightmare steelbook for $35 on Amazon. It should be here in a week or so. But yeah it is getting out of hand with the prices. Since Sony is doing Disney's physical media now it is going to be better than it ever has. Sony is the best in physical media. I wonder if they will redo older releases?
@@Franksmediaandreviews $55 total and I got the Wolverine version. Last time I checked, the US version was $65. Did it go down in price? And yes.... These movies are way too damn high. It almost feels like they are trying to price people out of physical media.... The speciality boutiques will be our saving grace if these major studios keep this mess up
@@Insomniackuzco and you're not lyin about the Boutique Labels saving us. In some ways they already have by rejuvenating the collectors with these badass physical releases and the special features.
@@Franksmediaandreviews they have for me. I use you all on TH-cam to find out new labels and even to compare different versions of the same movie. I've found a lot of new labels like second sight. And it may not seem smart, wallet wise, but a lot of times I will even pay a little more on a boutique site because they need the business more than Amazon. And if major studios keep up $50+ movies, people will put that $50+ in a better product elsewhere, even if they have to wait for a later release date. A lot of times the boutique labels are putting in way more to their releases and make it worth the $50-100 price tag.
Thumbnail needs more tears and you crying. 😂 All joking aside, the prices have just made it so I have to be more selective about the stuff I pre-order.
I'd love to get your thoughts on what I believe is a concerning trend.
i dont have to even watch the video to tell you prices have gone up. You used to be able to get steelbooks for $25 during the days of bestbuy

Kick Rocks Disney. You ruined my Indiana Jones franchise with the shit dial of destiny. They took the movies off of their streaming site. Screw em.
Wait? They removed one of their most successful franchises from their streaming services? What a bunch of idiots.
Also, thanks for watching!
No Doubt kid. John from Let's Talk Entertainment & Media put me onto your channel. Good stuff you guys. Always great content.
Hey Frank, I'm confused because you buy grade z trash movies🗑️ oversea boutique label for $60 each with one 4k disc only 🤕
Well, again everyone collects differently. I feel like the ones that I buy overseas are releases that won't have an US release (ie Pearl, Phantasm 4k's). Personally, buying a local (US) 4k release at a high price is only going to strengthen the strategy that Disney is trying to set to the consumer.
Also, love your questions. Always feel free to ask away.
I agree with this, I also lowkey believe you have it preordered but made the video to relate , which is fine ❤
@@jjthekollector Well JT, I can guarantee you I have not preordered either 4k steelbooks, or the standard release. That doesn't mean I don't plan on getting the movie, because I will, but as I stated in the video, I'm not paying $55 for the steelbook release. I'll most likely get the standard at $30.
Movie companies are just trying to cash in on the hype..ill just wait til the prices go down
Yup! That's a great idea too.
Yeah alien romonus is $55 I’ll wait for the price drop like $25 I’d reasonable
@@RobertQuant I just saw the 4k steelbook for $43 at DiabolikDVD.
Aren’t those just placeholder prices? I’ve preordered steelbooks months in advance for around $50 or higher and on release I get charged the usual prices for steelbooks ($34.99)
I normally would say yes, but from what I've been hearing these won't go down in price at least initially. Hopefully I'm wrong though. We'll find out soon.
Two movies Amazon. My bloody Valentine's scream factory blueray 1981 and the good the bad and ugly 4k blueray 44 dollars.
I haven't seen Uncommon Valor, but I just saw the cast and it's stacked!
Its a damn shame
Double dip for nightmare? Buddy you quadruple dipped with Late Night 🤣🤣
You ain't lyin... Please send help 🤣
Gruv is good with their prices, but damn they tend to sell on their pre orders. They had the Godzilla Minus One 4k steelbook for $35 and it went like hotcakes. I wasn't able to get it. They had the A Nightmare on Elm Street 4k steelbook for $29 and it sold fast too. I was able to get the Nightmare steelbook for $35 on Amazon. It should be here in a week or so. But yeah it is getting out of hand with the prices. Since Sony is doing Disney's physical media now it is going to be better than it ever has. Sony is the best in physical media. I wonder if they will redo older releases?
Hopefully you get that Godzilla Minus One 4k, Percy. It's definitely one of the best releases this year.
Hopefully Sony does start making some back catalog titles. 🤞🏽
@@Franksmediaandreviews yes I'll get it along with the Glory 4k steelbook.
@@Franksmediaandreviews I can see them re releasing the Marvel movies.
@@percybedford6266 Me too. If they do, it probably would be with Dolby Vision and with the IMAX scenes. Just like they have on Disney+
Pure GREED!
💯!
No, I don't think it's worth the money the steel books are nice, but I won't pay that price so you're not alone
Thanks for watching!
Quick question, what's the limit you would spend on a 4k steelbook?
Inflation.
I got my Deadpool 3 steelbook from the UK amazon site. Was $15 lower (even with taxes and shipping) than with prime on the US site.
What was your total price? When I looked, including shipping it was $50. Also, which version did you get? I want the Wolverine one.
@@Franksmediaandreviews $55 total and I got the Wolverine version. Last time I checked, the US version was $65. Did it go down in price? And yes.... These movies are way too damn high. It almost feels like they are trying to price people out of physical media.... The speciality boutiques will be our saving grace if these major studios keep this mess up
@@Insomniackuzco Yup, just recently the price dropped to $55.
@@Insomniackuzco and you're not lyin about the Boutique Labels saving us. In some ways they already have by rejuvenating the collectors with these badass physical releases and the special features.
@@Franksmediaandreviews they have for me. I use you all on TH-cam to find out new labels and even to compare different versions of the same movie. I've found a lot of new labels like second sight. And it may not seem smart, wallet wise, but a lot of times I will even pay a little more on a boutique site because they need the business more than Amazon. And if major studios keep up $50+ movies, people will put that $50+ in a better product elsewhere, even if they have to wait for a later release date. A lot of times the boutique labels are putting in way more to their releases and make it worth the $50-100 price tag.
I bought the well 4k for fifty
I want the Wolverine version as well!
Which one are you getting?
Thumbnail needs more tears and you crying. 😂
All joking aside, the prices have just made it so I have to be more selective about the stuff I pre-order.
I got an image to maintain, Hunter 🤣😭😭
Thanks Kamala
You had to faaak this up too
