~ Predator gets the nicely done Steelbook! ~
on July 1, 2021
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as the leader of a U.S. Military expedition to central America, where they were sent to rescue U.S. officials. However, the story was mixed and hidden to get them there. Upon arrival, there is no rescue plan of officials, only to take out rogue members of a military operation doing dirty business.
Arnold, leader of the group, rants his disagreement to Carl Weathers, the civilian lead in the group sent along with them.
After some fights amongst themselves, they realize something else is hunting them in the jungle and it isn't the rogue military members they just destroyed.

Highly recommended! This steelbook is fabulous with artwork.
The blu-ray looks good, picture wise, but no artwork on it.
A blue painted disc is all you will see.
Add the 4K disc to this steelbook and it's a best of both worlds!

This classic starring Paul Newman and Robert Redford really never gets old to see. The 4K upgrade is pretty good for the film. It's not perfect, but it is a better upgrade overall.
If you like these two actors and a cast of many others including Charles Durning (Tootsie), and Robert Shaw (Jaws, Force 10 from Navarone), check it out.

From the "Pretty in Pink" writer/director team of John Hughes and Howard Deutch comes this engaging teen comedy/drama. Eric Stoltz stars as sensitive high school outsider Keith Nelson, who pines for the beautiful and popular Amanda Jones (Lea Thompson), all the while oblivious to the fact that his tomboy best friend Watts (Mary Stuart Masterson) is carrying a torch for him. With Craig Sheffer, John Ashton, Elias Koteas. 94 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English; audio commentary by Deutch, Thompson; interview; featurettes; more.

~ Another '80s classic gets the deluxe steelbook ~

Verified Purchase:Yes
Yet another classic from Director John Hughes, one of my favorite Directors. The steelbook looks gorgeous and the artwork throughout is spectacular. Much better than any release so far to this date. I have the other 2 '80s movies from him on steelbook, Pretty In Pink, and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Get those also because they are well done throughout. There is actual artwork on the discs as well relative to the movie theme.
A great cast for this movie, love it.

I love these newer John Hughes steelbooks, but I would have preferred a 4K version with it. It's good on the 4K player and 4K TV though. A better upgrade than that of the analog DVD, certainly.

~ Molly Ringwald stars in another '80s classic ~
on June 21, 2021
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Another good '80s movie starring Molly Ringwald, Jon Cryer, and James Spader, from 1986. The movie is pretty good all the way through and if you are a fan of Molly, I say, get this now. There has been no steelbook versions of her movies, until this one.
The artwork is rather nice, focusing only on Molly herself for the cover. I believe that particular shot was from the poster featuring the other male stars, Andrew McCarthy and Jon Cryer.
Nice artwork on front, back, and inside as well as the disc itself.
I love the record look of the disc. Well done!

PSYCHO gets a better artwork 4K Steelbook..
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Psycho has already been released in the 4K format before in another steelbook. That could have used some better artwork in my opinion. It was mostly black and had a knife on the front with Janet Leigh's picture in it. That was about it.
There was also another steelbook for the standard blu-ray release some years ago, pinkish in color and was pretty plain.

I like this one very much, even on the inside of it. It is fabulous.
Overall, this is a great one to own, if you don't own one of them already. If you are a die hard fan of this movie, I say, get it anyway. Pictures are in listing for purchase.

All content is pretty much the same from the other 4K release.
If you have not seen it on 4K, you owe it to yourself to do it. It is cleaned up even more from the previous Blu-ray release that has been out for years. Detail is much better on the 4K equipment.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Beautiful steelbook on this movie! I love it all the way through. Now, at least we get some artwork that is pretty nice, even on the actual disc instead of the bland gray or blue shade.
It has a nice glossy finish to it also, rather than the matte type.
Looking forward to the others from 1986, "Some Kind of Wonderful" and "Pretty In Pink" from John Hughes.

INDIANA JONES complete 4K Steelbook set!
on June 12, 2021
Posted by: 93Vet
Well, we finally get the INDIANA JONES 4 movie collection on the 4K HD format and digital!
I personally was not looking to get a set that had the Blu-rays as well, so I only wanted the 4K steelbook package.
I have to say I am disappointed in how Paramount did the overall box that houses these Steelbooks.

Poor cardboard design and fairly easy to get messed up before you even get it in your hands.
From other reviewers here writing about that, I knew I most likely would not keep it. The steelbooks were okay and pristine on my set.

The discs themselves have a little artwork, so that's good compared to some overseas ones that are just black text only.

All the bonus features are great and are on a Blu-ray disc included in the 4th movie steelbook.
Overall, I would recommend, but I have to subtract a star for poor outer cardboard packaging housing the steelbooks.
Compare THIS to the one we got for the Blu-ray set some years ago and it's a shame to say the least.

I really never get tired of watching this movie now and then.
John Travolta and Olivia Newton John make this THE movie and it looks better than ever on the 4K format and Steelbook!

It truly shines now in all it's 4K glory. The previous blu-ray I had from way back in 2009 was not that great in my opinion.
It looks and sounds spectacular now for all the HD TVs. Get THIS one before it is out of print!
Artwork is spectacular, though I would have also preferred artwork on the discs as well. A minor thing for me, but it can and was done on other releases such as SPEED, and DIRTY DANCING, to list a few new 4K steelbooks.
GET THIS EDITION!

Wow, I have to say, this is the definitive edition steelbook for this movie. It is gorgeous, and although it is an older movie now, it shines as ever in this format. The music, the scenes, it's like watching the movie all over again in a new way. I really like it now.
If you are a fan of Patrick Swayze from the 1980s, 1990s, I say get this edition soon. The artwork on the discs and the steelbook throughout is gorgeous. Well Done!!

~ THE BIRDS gets the 4K Steelbook release ~
on May 28, 2021
Posted by: 93Vet
Alfred Hitchcock's THE BIRDS gets the UHD 4K steelbook release and it comes out a winner all around. Now, THE BIRDS was previously released on 4K in a box set with other Hitchcock movies in the 4K format, but, it did not have a standalone set. It also had previously a Blu-ray steelbook release with different artwork on it. After the initial run of that, the prices went way up, so I am very happy to see this arrive. The movie itself is just another brilliant take on Mr. Hitchcock's movie making style and suspense.
It looks and sounds fantastic now in the 4K format. I have never seen it look this good on the 4K TV and player.
All special features have been brought over from the previous releases.
This also has the digital copy of it, if you collect those.

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.

5 out of 5Authentic arcade experience
By BBShopper
This is the 1UP Arcade to get. Ten games, including MK1, 2, and Ultimate 3. Scan line filter and difficulty settings are available on each game. Some games have additional options. MK1 and 2 have flawless emulation. Ultimate MK3 suffers from occasional slow down when a lot happens on screen. Otherwise it plays perfectly.
This is my first 1UP purchase, and I'm very satisfied with this purchase. I'll pick up more as my favorite games are released.

Martin Sheen also does a great job as the Captain put in charge of the boat to destroy a lunatic colonel out in the jungle.

Received product like many items recently shipped from bestbuy in plain mail envelopes with no padding or protection, when i am spending 80 to 100 for something that comes in a special edition box i expect it to be protected when shipped not placed in a stand mail envelope. the box was torn up and one of the steelbooks has a very visible scratch on it. i understand its not a hard box surrounding the steelbooks but when i ship stuff i protect my items bestbuy just likes to charge full price and not give a crap i am so close to being done and going else where. hopefully i can find this in store at my local best to swap out. had the same issue with recent movie BackDraft the steel book came and look terrible was even bent during shipping.

I hope you knew that 4K discs DO NOT play in standard Blu-ray players before you wrote this 1 star review for the movie. You should have known by now that 4K discs have to be played in their own players and can play the others, DVD/Blu-ray. Game systems also have to be able to read the 4K UHD disc as well. 4K is a step up from Blu-ray, overall.

The art is amazing, the panel graphics are fantastic. They did an amazing job remaking this 20th anniversary cab. The screen is ultra clear. Fantastic game selection. And every game has online leaderboards which makes the replay value great. I keep coming back to this cab wanting to get in the top 25. Arcade1up’s quality has really improved over the first gen cabs. They knocked this one out of the park.

Thank you for taking the time to convey what I was thinking without having it physically, yet!
Looking at the cabinet up close with the pictures provided here on Best Buy, it looks like they have redesigned the Volume control and On/Off white buttons also. They look to be flat now, as opposed to be the white pegs they are on the PAC MAN Legacy Edition I own.
Is that an upgrade design for this one? Just curious.

I got this assembled just fine, but then the joystick fell apart after the first play. I got it reassembled, but now it's loose and doesn't feel right. The controls don't respond right either. I am really good at this game and score well in arcades, so something is wrong. I shouldn't have to repair parts for a brand new machine. Not impressed.

Hi, that is a shame and I feel for you. Hopefully, you will get your money back on this. I should say that PAC MAN Legacy Edition is really good, but I feel like the joystick could have been built better. It works, but it really clicky whereas the real one from the Arcade is solid and does not make any noise. That is the only drawback I have on these units, the joysticks are not built well enough.

Thanks for the review! I have to say, I was impressed with their graphics on the STAR WARS cabinet and TEMPEST Atari Legacy Edition, of which I own. This one looks great as well. The lighted deck seems to be a new addition. Good to know!

93Vet's Questions
Retrogaming fans and pop-culture enthusiasts have been clamoring for it, and here it is courtesy of Arcade1Up: the Atari Legacy CENTIPEDE Edition home arcade machine, for the first time in a form factor shaped just like the original classic arcade cabinet!
There are misleading images of this unit's screen size when showing Centipede. The game is a vertical game as it should be. However, there are photos of it being squashed or horizontal. Which is it?

Evolving from its 1958 beginnings as an amusement game manufacturer, Midway produced some of the hottest arcade games of the 80s and 90s, that have since been adapted into film, television, and much more.Their monsters-wreaking-havoc title Rampage~was a giant early hit, and then leaps in live action digitizing technology led to Mortal Kombat~, recognized as one of the most important titles in video game history. With it~s over the top darkly humorous gameplay and finishing moves, Mortal Kombat~became an instant franchise with iconic characters and enduring catch phrases.
So, what's the actual date of release now? Arcade 1up had it in March and Best Buy says Dec. 31, 2021. lol There are many of us eagerly awaiting to get this unit when Arcade 1up SAYS and sends an email stating it is READY for Preorder.

Does this come with a deck protector as well? I know the most recent ones have had it, but this does not specify.

Does it have adjustable speed for ms Pac-Man? They use to sell them back then with ability of speeding the entire game up. Made it more challenging
Hey Robin, it looks like they have it in the setup menu where you can go in and change settings, etc. for each game. I have 2 Legacy Editions, and that is a new feature on those. This one looks to be the same, with 12 games in all. I have the original Ms. Pac-Man with 4 games cabinet, and you cannot adjust the game settings on that one.

Just to make sure. This product includes the riser? Thanks!

Where is the preorder button for this? All I see is coming soon...what gives?
All I see is COMING SOON at BEST BUY and GAMESTOP says it is not available. Not sure they know what they are doing when it comes to actually having it ready for PREORDER.

why until march 30, 2021 I need this by feb,26
I know, right? I am not sure why Arcade !up is waiting for this one on that particular date. I would like to have it sooner myself since it has been on pre-order here through Best Buy for several weeks now.

When do you charge a customers credit card on a pre-order
Hi, I just ordered mine today, 28 January, pre-order, and Best Buy sent me an email stating that I WOULD NOT be charged until the item itself is shipped. Which is currently March 30th, 2021 on release day. Anytime I have pre-ordered items here on Best Buy with my account, I have NEVER been charged prior to the item shipping or pickup in person. That is a fact.

Set up your gaming room with this Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console. The classic upright design has a midsize profile for seamless fitting in tight spaces, while the 17-inch LCD screen offers crisp visuals for complete immersion. This Arcade1Up Ms. Pac-Man arcade game console features four games for a complete nostalgic experience, and the coinless operation allows unlimited play.
I don't see an option for extended warranty. 30 day warranty is not long enough. Is there some way of getting an extended warranty?
Yeah, I got this directly from BEST BUY and it does not have an extended warranty. You could ask the GEEK Squad there for info.

Does the game come with the riser as shown? Also, is the the fast version or the slow version of Ms. Pac-Man?
Yes, it comes with a custom riser. The Ms. PAC MAN on this is the actual arcade version. It gradually speeds up, it is NOT the FAST version.

So this cabinet shows Ms Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaxian, and Super Pac Man. The other cabinets I have seen show Ms Pac-Man, Galaxian, Pac Mania, and Pac Man Plus. Are different retailers getting different versions.
Yes, WAL MART has it, but it has the different games PAC MANIA and PAC MAN PLUS. It does NOT have the light up marquee or the custom riser, either.

On Game stop.com they have the exact same cabinet with the light at marquee will Best Buy do a price match because that one is $50 cheaper
The Best Buy one has the custom riser and the light up marquee. If GAMESTOP has that on the unit, then get it cheaper. Also, the games may vary depending on the seller.
