~ Avoid this football movie, there are better! ~
on June 21, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had hopes for this one due to the fact Al Pacino was in it as the head coach. His part was good and he did well in it.
Other than that, the movie was laden with F bombs, drug use, profanity every few seconds it seemed, nudity I did not want to see for a sports movie of this kind.
This is not a good one to see about a football team.
There are so many other ones that are better. Do your research.
Even Cameron Diaz uses the F word like it's a normal daily word use. Not a fan of her, overall.
I would not recommend this one.

~ MIRACLE on Blu-ray HD looks stunning ~
on June 21, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
Kurt Russell stars as the Hockey coach that set up a team to take on and defeat anyone in the 1980 Winter Olympics.
The road was tough, but in the end, he had the best team in the entire world and won the USA Team a Gold medal, defeating the seemingly unbeatable Russian squad and the Finland team for the Gold medal round.
What a fantastic sports movie!
This is one of the best sports movies ever made. Hands down. Even if you are not a huge hockey fan, like myself, I loved it. I am a fan of Kurt Russell (Escape From New York, Escape From L.A., The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China).
This Blu-ray/DVD combo set is the best it is ever going to get. The HD Blu-ray is outstanding on the 4K player and TV.
I highly recommend!
Easy selections in the menus.

~ Lord of War makes its 4K steelbook entry ~
on June 16, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
A great steelbook and 4K set for Nicolas Cage's "Lord of War" movie. Beautiful artwork from Lionsgate as usual.
Nice slipcover for it as well. They have been producing some great steelbooks and am really enjoying adding what I can to the 4K/Blu-ray library.
The movie is a little long, it's more drama than anything else, but Nicolas Cage does a great job for his role.
Jared Leto plays his younger brother in the movie.
I do recommend if you like Nicolas Cage as an actor and like collecting these steelbooks.
Get it while the price is fairly good.
We get the 4K, Blu-ray edition, digital copy, nice slipcover for the steelbook.

Beautiful steelbook of this classic movie starring Paul Newman and many other stars of the '60s and '70s.
The movie has never looked better until now on the 4K!
Sound is great for a 1967 picture.
Artwork is solid all the way inside and out.
Great job on this 4K edition!
You can retire the previous edition of this movie, if you had it. You will have the best it has ever looked now.

Beautiful movie, but I think the 4K itself could have been a bit better overall. Glad to have it just the same. It is an improvement, overall, but slight. I have good 4K player and TV, plus a decent soundbar.
Rocky must now defend his title from an up-and-coming fighter, played by Mr. T.
Steelbook is fabulous, artwork throughout!

~ Cliffhanger gets the 4K Steelbook 30th Ann. Ed.!
on June 7, 2023
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
A beautiful 30th Anniversary Edition of Stallone's Cliffhanger!
This is one of his very best movies he ever did. For me, it is in my top 5 of his. Rocky being number one.
The transfer is better than the previous release in some ways, but it depends greatly on the equipment you are watching this new 4K edition on.
The Steelbook looks great, a nice matte finish with loads of artwork.
Audio is:
English Dolby Atmos 7.1
English DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1
French 5.1
French Dolby Surround
Spanish Dolby Surround
(This is the 4K disc)
There is special feature Deleted Scenes which there are a total of 17 selected from the main menu.
*This was not on the previous 4K release. (New)
Overall, appears to be a really good edition.
Blu-ray looks and sounds good as well. Both discs have artwork on them from the movie. Excellent.
Includes a Digital copy.

Authentic 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.

~ Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut on 4K ~
By 93Vet
Apocalypse Now: The Final Cut looks stunning now in 4K for the 30th Anniversary Edition!
The overall package, design and discs are all nicely done.
Picture quality and sound are fabulous and it makes you think you are right there with the guys in the military boat making its way through the river.
All special features have been brought over from other releases, and you get the HEART OF DARKNESS feature as well.
This is a war movie and not for the younger viewers.
HIghly recommended for all those that love Robert Duvall.
His portrayal of a Colonel in this movie is spectacular.
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.

Package Ruined By Shipping/USPS

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.

Not all 4K movies are released with an additional Blu-ray disc. This is one of them. Make sure it specifically says you are getting the standard Blu-ray disc as well as the 4K UHD.

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.

Fantastic Cab!
By Ninja
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.

Defective Parts
By Lindsey
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.

Had the Ms Pac Man cocktail table, which I love. Class of 81 blows that one out of the water. Selling the cocktail cabinet.
Lit marquee, best graphics and side art arcade 1 up has ever released, lighted deck with 8 color options, wifi and online world leaderboards, dip switch settings to customize difficulty and speed (software update even added rapid fire to Galaga ... and since it's wifi the update takes place as fast as adding an app to your phone)
I have 7 cabinets and this is by far my favorite. Even got some world high scores!

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?

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.

New to 4K. This collection features the wonder of the entire Star Wars saga, capturing the moments from a young Anakin Skywalker's descent into the dark side to the rise of the Resistance and their struggle to restore peace in the galaxy. The story that electrified a generation comes to a striking conclusion.
 

Will this box set include the unaltered original trilogy? What other “bonuses” are included in this set that makes it worth $249?

No, I do not believe it will contain the unaltered original trilogy. Those are only available in the THX Widescreen/Full Screen Editions on VHS and Laserdisc from 1995.
George Lucas did release them on DVD in 2004 as a bonus in another package but they were not remastered or restored. They were inferior copies to say the least.

All 9 Star Wars "Skywalker" movies are in this set on 4K UHD/Blu-ray/Blu-ray Special Features disc/Digital Copy for each movie.
That's 27 discs total, plus the special artwork/packaging.
The only movies that will NOT be in this set are ROGUE ONE and SOLO, which are Star Wars Story movies.

do the bonus disks also come on digital?

I don't believe so. All previous releases of these SW movies have never had the special features on the digital format included. I think only the movies will be digital coded.
Therefore, Disney makes more money if you want to go and get the special features.

how do I get the 3D version? That is the only way to watch star wars.

Good question, I have been a long time fan of SW since the very beginning in May, 1977. It seems Disney is reluctant to provide us with their 3D versions of the movies. I do not understand this. The only 3D set that I have is from STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS. That was a completely separate black sleeved set for purchase.
Hopefully, they will release it separately, but it does not appear it will be a part of this particular set.
Only the 4K UHD/Blu-ray/Blu-ray special features discs/Digital Copy for each movie are in it.

Just to be sure , it doesn't include Rouge One or Solo but does it contain The Rise of Skywalker ?

It will not include the STAR WARS STORY movies, "ROGUE ONE" and "SOLO".
These will only be the 9 Star Wars "Skywalker" movies, all on 4K UHD and Blu-ray, plus any special features that most likely are already out in previous releases on one Blu-ray for each movie. DVD format will not be included in this set.
