Not sure what to get. I want the steelbook, but the art is the worst of all

Here is the CBC article which states that NetFlix Canada has world wide exclusive rights to stream Star Wars: TFA in 2016.

at least they mentioned that the 3D version is coming and not just completely ignoring 3D Blu Rays yet again
I'd be surprised if it hits Netflix Canada day and date with the home video release though, rather than a couple months later.

Yeah, that's very possible.

I would have bought every release anyway, I'm just annoyed that I have to wait for features that should be there at launch. I don't mind waiting for a UHD disc, but it should have had Atmos and 3D. SW home releases have usually been pretty good for this historically. IIRC even the DVDs had 6.1 soundtracks which were pretty rare back then.
They already have 3 offerings of blu-ray. Four after a 3d release. This is just greed.
Yoda wouldn't do this to us.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
It's first pay window, so that's generally 90 days after home video release.
Edit: Also I really hope this release is enough to kick Disney UK up the arse about getting digital codes since DMA is US only.

I hear you on the first two, but I can understand no UHD. There's no reason for Disney to do that now with such a small install base. It doesn't make sense for them to put a huge release like that on there when it just launched. It'll come I'm sure, but I can't hold UHD against Disney. Disney isn't even releasing anything anytime soon on that format if I'm not mistaken.

Just got a UHD player so slightly disappointed. I'm sure it'll come out eventually but may have to get the bluray to hold me over.
Maybe the netflix version will also be UHD when it comes out later this year.

DVD gets the poster art and the BD gets the leftover marketing materials someone dug out of the recycling bin.
I had the BD preordered when Amazon put it up and it was $20 so I'll just go with that one.

We should start a petition
You're usually allowed to rent digitally on the BR release date.
Also, the digital release is only a few days apart, so it's not like you'll have to wait that longer than others.

Interesting, though: They could have used Rey's Theme, or the Jedi Steps, or March of the Resistance (which is what they used at the Oscars, I believe), but instead, this trailer basically just reprises the trailer music again.
To be fair, it's really fucking good.
I kinda hope those pieces are easter eggs or something. Not that people really do easter eggs anymore (they're kind of a waste of time, and always were)

Maybe I saw it one too many times in theaters so that's why this announcement doesn't have me very excited?
I don't know what it is but I just feel like there isn't all that much to revisit or look forward to because the story was so thin. It's a fun flick but just kinda not satisfying on a narrative level

And this exemplifies why I'm not investing in 4K for at least two more years, perhaps much longer. The amount of real native 4K content is going to be absolutely tiny.
I've noticed that movies sometimes on Google Play only have a buy option and no rental version. I just assumed this was for big movies that want to try to milk purchases initially.

it still does rather well. Disney has been shitty about it though, I've been forced to buy several region free UK 3D blu rays because they wont release Disney Animated Films in 3d in the states.
Which they're also super inconsistent about because they DO release Marvel and Pixar 3D blu rays. So it's just plain fuckery coming from them

The posters used for the Target cover are BAD and thus the Target cover itself is BAD.
Garbage tier packaging.
The main poster may be a bit played out but it's still probably the best this movie will get.

Dark Side Slipcover (Amazon UK)
The dark side Slipcover definitely looks much better than the light ...

IS there a UK Blu-ray 3D cover?
3D isn't coming out till later in the year.

Is the only way to watch this on April 1 from buying a digital only release?
