[@chrisjfox8715]

That's the hope yeah. I don't blame them for taking the path they did tho. They needed to give their streaming service the best chance possible to grow, so it makes sense that they presumed that physical media would've too significantly cannabilized their streaming numbers (i.e., fear of too many people avoiding a subscription if they know they can just buy the movies they want when it comes out). It's easy for us as 4K enthusiasts to have remained hungry for this and to think that it's clear in hindsight for Disney to do this, but their strategy was deliberate. The only reason they're shifting gears now is because streaming isn't doing as well as they would like...which happens to be for reasons that have nothing to do with physical media. We're getting lucky. And they'll continue to be selective about what they release as they guage what's worthy of physical release when without too significantly impacting their streaming numbers any further.

@markpugh6808 I get what you are saying. I have the Mighty Max series and the original theatrical Star Wars trilogy (despecialized edition in 720p) on Blu-ray, but it is not the same as having a proper release. The quality of burned disc's is not the same as a pressed disc.

I sure do hope this works out well. Hopefully, Disney is finally waking "back up" to this and realizing that they never should have messed up a good thing, period.

[@robertfaler7081]

I remember the day Dune came out on 4K and I could literally not get a copy - the movie was completely sold out in my city. I really believe there is a market for this stuff if it’s what people want.

[@Predatorcollector]

I had already bought an unofficial bluray copy of prey off Etsy but I’m definitely gonna be picking the official release up to let Disney know that we want our physical releases

Disney finally realized there’s more money to be had in physical media. A huge win for us PM fans! My hope is that this expands to more D+ shows and Fox titles. And my other hope? That Netflix and Apple TV+ follow suit. Either way, I’ll definitely vote with my money and buy ALL of these 4K releases!

Great news Jeff. I intend to buy Mando 1 & 2. I’m hoping they will be region free in your country because I live in Australia & they probably won’t be released here.

[@DeanBarryStuff]

I don’t get it. One month they’re canceling physical media from an entire country and the next they’re announcing 4K SteelBooks. What’s going on? And Australia still misses out unless we pay those excessive import prices.

[@matthewbennett4128]

They are two separate divisions. They may back track there decision Australia because Disney does back track a lot.

This is fantastic news, will be buying Prey for sure and probably The Mandalorian as I haven’t watched either yet. Love your work man!

[@Blackhawk19892]

Genuinely hope more companies will follow Disney's lead. At the end of the day the money dropped for unofficial copies of She-Ra, glass onion and stranger things is money that could be going into netflix pockets. Even if they just put them out in limited releases it's money they otherwise wouldn't have. Glad to see mandalorian and wandavision will be coming out even if they weren't my cup of tea.

[@KEVIN-74]

Disney is screaming for money right now. They HAVE to buy Comcast's stake in Hulu at the first of 2024. They dont have the cash for it so this is a quick and dirty way to make some cash. Which Im glad for. Super happy to see these titles come to physical media.

[@dravenlee4473]

I don't understand how Disney doesn't realize that Disney fans like STUFF. They own theme parks where people line up in droves to buy anything Disney related they can. You aren't going to hurt Disney+ by putting out physical media. There are people that are going to sub to Disney+ and buy the physical media. What you are doing now is also getting people that DON'T sub to Disney+ (me) but will buy the physical media. It's a win/win and caters to everyone. Gotta nitpick though, I wish they weren't just steelbooks and we also got Mando S3.

[@SillyOmega]

Actually most geeks are boycotting Disney due to bad decisions. I'm not interested in purchasing their Disney Plus shows Thier releasing.

[@TigerGreene]

That demographic doesn't exist. Relatively speaking, the segment of consumers who buy physical media but don't subscribe to streaming is tiny, and shrinking fast. Huge film publishers like Disney spend their money and time where they see the greatest returns. Sad but true.

[@stevesteve5641]

I also wish they released it on Blu-ray and not just on Steelbook. As my budget with my current salary can't buy all these Steelbook.

[@SillyOmega]

Sorry about my first comment been up and down lately. I hear mando season 3 was not good. If I remember correctly that's when they switched actors.

Thank you! That's one of the best news from Disney in a long time. I would pre-order all of them now if I could, and I've already pre-ordered Prey. It's interesting that this gets announced now that Star Wars: Ahsoka is being streamed. Smart timing! And from what I've seen so far - Episodes 1 and 2 - I'd buy that on 4K-BD as well. By the way, watching Ahsoka on Disney+ will certainly help our chances of getting that and other Star Wars series on 4K-BD one day.

[@carmant2]

Hopefully Disney will follow the lessons from boutique labels like Arrow and Vinegar Syndrome and announce and release the classic films on their high quality 4K/blu-ray sets possible like The Abyss, True Lies, and The Color of Money, like what Arrow usually have done on their films with their limited edition box set packaging filled with art cards, hefty book, and a poster.

[@adamsultana8380]

The first Terminator for sure, I'm surprised it hasn't been released yet. Even T3 I'd take on 4K

[@BoogSReviews]

I like that we’re getting physical releases for them, but I’m kinda disappointed we’re not getting regular DVDs of the seasons as well. I really don’t care about Blu-ray or 4K unless it has a digital code, which these don’t. Disney still wants them to stream exclusively on Disney+, so I don’t think they’ll ever give us digital codes with the physical releases.

[@TheCabinet33]

Great analysis Jeff. Will be picking these up for sure, although importing now into Australia. Interested to hear future releases, based on your hints!

[@markcarpenter211]

Do you think standard blu rays will come out

[@daveconsumesmedia]

i’m just happy to see anything streaming like this jump to some other format to ensure its longevity, i get really upset whenever i see a streaming -exclusive show get zapped never to be seen again. prey getting legitimized with a physical release is a huge deal.

[@MrAwesomebassplayer]

Kinda hoping some of the markets outside of the USA get standard packaging with a copy of the show on bluray and on 4k. Steelbooks are nice but they sure are expensive.

[@hollyshippy7417]

The Disney catalog is good, but the 20th Century Fox catalog is better and filled with incredible Hollywood Classics. Disney could license titles out to boutique companies, or remaster the classic titles themselves. Anything but sitting on the 20th Century Fox catalog and doing nothing to remaster and preserve it for future generations. Newer titles are one thing, but Disney needs to prove itself a leader in film preservation ... otherwise its an amusement park leader that dabbles in film-making, with flops it can't afford to make.

[@994pt4]

"Disney needs to prove itself a leader in film preservation"...lol NEVER gonna happen.

[@erickvoshel1]

Well said. We need to preserve films & TV shows for future generations to enjoy. That's what physical media is all about. Preserving the legacies of the past for future generations to enjoy.

[@shinycheeto5779]

Good news for future potential releases. However, I’m probably in the minority for this but I HATE steelbooks. Rather have regular case with slipcover

*I'm not a collector of physical media but even I know this is amazin,* this needs to become the standard. I say they should release physical media around 2 to 3 months after they stream.

[@erickvoshel1]

Couldn't agree more. I believe that physical media & streaming can co-exist.

[@TTD94]

I really want to see the backlog of Marvel TV content on physical. Not just the Marvel Studios Disney+ shows, but the OLD shows - Daredevil, Agents of SHIELD, Helstrom, Runaways, Agent Carter, Iron Fist, Defenders, Punisher, and the rest of the backlog.
