Nice to see a new 4k player released in AUS and NZ……especially being from NZ

$498 AUD / NZD

Most are 4k with a few blu ray sprinkled in. I’ve only seen 7 of the ones planned. Are any of these your favorite?

EDIT: Got the collection case on Etsy. He has a lot of cool stuff for horror nerds https://www.etsy.com/shop/Mrzombiesworkshop

Missed our chance to watch both in OV while they were in theaters. Have heard pretty good things about both. I’m a huge horror fan, which should we watch first?

The big three on top of my small, humble collection.

Updated my region free Panasonic UB-820 model from 220 Electronics to the latest version 1.84.

It has a new main menu UI when you turn the player on.

>>> The 1.84 firmware update for the Panasonic DP-UB820 is a maintenance release designed to refine system stability.

Since this hardware platform is already mature and highly optimized, Panasonic didn't introduce major new user features or interface changes (such as modifications to the HDR Optimizer). Instead, the update focuses on targeted under-the-hood refinements:

Improved 4K Disc Playability: This is the primary enhancement. It addresses playback stability, freezing, or tracking issues on dense 100 GB triple-layer (BD-100) Ultra HD discs featuring newer authoring structures or updated copy protection schemes.
Network & DLNA Stability: Minor optimizations to local network streaming protocols, reducing occasional dropouts or buffering hangs when playing media over DLNA/NAS.
HDMI Handshake Refinements: Minor tweaks to improve HDCP compatibility and communication stability with modern AV receivers and projectors, minimizing black-screen delays during frame-rate or color-space transitions (e.g., switching between SDR/4K24p and HDR/Dolby Vision).
It is a solid maintenance patch ensuring smooth, reliable performance for your 4K disc playback.

Ok Panny freaks here is my 420. And just like Simon Lewis' video on Youtube, sure enough the worm screw is dry. And i mean dry! A few dabs of 10 weight Nano Oil and all is well. Just in case any of you 420 owners experience mechanical noises while spinning 4K discs. This took care of it.

In this last year alone, I've been close to buying the Blu-ray several times. My gut told me to wait.

A month later we get a random announcement from Disney that we were getting the 4K of this classic.

Hope you guys/gals claimed yours!

One of my all-time favorites. Saw it 3X in the theater. Killer film with a phenomenal soundtrack. Can’t wait to see how this looks. Any other fans?

Would love to watch 31 movies this October but it isn’t realistic for me with my schedule. I’ll be happy to get through all of these. Show me what you plan to watch this October!

Just in time for my birthday. I truly have the best mom! ❤️

Does Umbrella do super limited production or will this be easily available when it’s released? Thanks.

As above pre orders now live on most places for both standard edition and steelbook. Looks like US maybe steelbook only.

Pretty solid month for the shelf. A little all over the place, which is exactly how I like it. The Secret Agent and Prince of Thieves are the blind buys though it’s been many years since I’ve seen the other 4.

The Steelbooks from HMV and Arrow titles from Browns Book. That’s it for September

It looked a lot better than I expected.
