[Amazon.ca] All 8 Harry Potter Films on 4k - $150 or $170 with blurays

This is actually a very good deal on this set. And, frankly, it ticks me off - I think I have the first few movies in pre-widescreen DVD and then upgraded all to blu-rays and now this! Kidding, of course. I will probably wait a few years for this to drop even further but for right now, $21/movie for 4k (and bluray + digital versions) is a good deal indeed.

Updating this given that I found the UK, region-free version that does not contain the blu-rays: Harry Potter - Complete 8-Film Collection [4K UHD] [Blu-ray] [2017] [Region Free] UK IMPORT REGION FREE for $149.99

I bought on Amazon UK, before Xmas 17 and still paid less (around $140 with exchange/shipping/duties, etc.). The only difference was no regular blu-ray. The price is still slightly cheaper on the Amazon UK site. If you don't need regular blu-ray capability, this may be a better deal.

My sole concern with that is the CBSA can occasionally look at the country of origin and decide that duties must be paid. Unless I know the country of origin and that duties don't apply, I need more than a few dollars of savings to import anything where the value could attract the CBSA's attention - in this case, it might not be much beyond HST.

Even though the some of the movies are considered "fake 4k", the addition of HDR/DV can make a big difference in contrast, black levels, and some details.

Many movies are mastered with a 2k DI but still look better than the 1080p counterpart.

There aren't many reviews out on this set but those that I've read feel that the HDR & DTSX rendering of these films is nothing short of amazing.

Does the UK version include the BluRay versions too? There are a lot of different versions on the UK site.

The Amazon.co.uk version is the UHD discs only. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Harry-Potter-C ... rry+potter

Given that many people are upgrading from their bluray collection, this isn't a deal killer but it's good to know that $145 CDN can get you the UHD versions. This set is $25 more than that.

Yes, but it's not the same as upscaling your bluray discs to a 4k TV as these have been rendered for playback on 4k sets with better contrast, colour, and sound.

We can discuss the quality of this set for a long time, someone it suits, and for someone doesn't , but the fact remains that if you really enjoy Harry Potter and would like to buy these films, then as of today this price is the best in comparison with with all other sources offered in the internet, e.g., ebay.ca, walmart.ca or blue-rey.com. Thank you, OP.

OP updated to include the imported UK version of this - lose 8 bluray disks and save $20.

You know, because there are SO many RFD fans of this UHD rendering, that I am sure this even better deal will just get snapped up...

I personally think that Voldemort is behind the down votes on this thread.
