Fabulous! I never thought JAWS would get a steelbook release until Universal got on it and did just that for the 4K!
The discs themselves and the artwork for this edition is superior and well done. Love it!

PSYCHO gets the 4K 60th Anniversary Treatment
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a pretty good steelbook for the 60th Anniversary of this classic Alfred Hitchcock movie. The movie itself is just gorgeous now. There is NO dirt, specks or blurriness in scenes at all. I compared this 4K disc notably to the previous Blu-ray that has been out for sometime by Universal.
Hands down, the 4K is superior in every way.
Hands down, the 4K is superior in every way.
If you own a previous PSYCHO release on Blu-ray, go and watch the scenes in the office where Janet Leigh's character goes into the office. Watch that whole thing. You will notice dirt, specks and some blurry scenes. That is all gone now.
I always watch my movies on the Sony 4K player and 4K TV. Trust me, there is no better version of this movie than this one for picture quality. Now, the technical problem seems to be with some reviewers on amazon saying the DTS X version (which amounts to a 7.1 audio) is not right. I had no problems with it, also the DTS 2.0 version that is available from the audio menu.
All special features are ported over from the previous Blu-ray release for this movie. I see nothing brand new for this 60th Anniversary Edition in that sense. I think everything that has been done for interviews, etc. is in this release.
You have an additional 13 seconds added now in the UNCUT version, which is the Theatrical version originally shown.
The one we have all been used to over the years was the edited down version for TV broadcasts, home video releases, until now.

This is the Wonder Woman steelbook to have!
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
In my opinion, this is the best steelbook version for Wonder Woman.
Not only is the outside of the steelbook itself better artwork, it has the thick plastic sleeve for an outer slip with Wonder Woman and the logo.
The steelbook is embossed with the shield and you can feel its edge in front and back. Nicely done.
The movie is beautiful in 4K and I think Gal did a great job in the movie role.
All special features are brought over from the previous Blu-ray/4K releases.
Highly recommended for this version of the steelbook!

35th Anniversary 4K steelbook Set is outstanding!
on October 26, 2020
Posted by: 93Vet
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a stunningly beautiful set! It doesn't get better than this!
Seriously, all movies are just beautiful in 4K. The picture and sound are fabulous. I saw no dirt or film defects at all in each movie. It is perfect. I watched all of these in a row on the 55", Sony 4K player and Sound bar. I did not have any sound coming out of the TV speakers itself, only the sound bar.
I suggest you do the same if you have the equipment. You will really hear more detail and sounds.
As far as features are concerned, I think it is basically the same content as the 30th Anniversary Edition from 2015.
This is the 4K 35th Anniversary steelbook for each individual movie.
The cases are outstanding inside and out. Each disc has artwork for the movies. The 3 steelbooks are housed in the outer cardboard sleeve separately. I think the cardboard outer sleeve could have been better, like making it the same material as the Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary 4K collection with 4 movies. That box is well made.
All in all, pick this one up!

I have been a big fan of this movie for a long time and watched it whenever it would come out on Cable TV back in the '80s.
I have to say that ARROW has done a fabulous job on this package and kept the price point down fairly reasonable for what you get in it.

This is the Limited Edition 2 Disc 4K set. There is also a Blu-ray version of this set. So, you decide which one you want.
The actual 4K in this release is spectacular and the colors are just super bright and more refined now than ever before.

The 4K disc does not have any region restrictions, but the 2nd disc in this set is the Blu-ray that has more special features and the Documentary LIFE AFTER FLASH. That is Region A.
In it, Sam Jones talks about the movie, what happened during the movie and after. I had not known about much of his life until now. It's really great to see him and most of the cast in this set in interviews, talking.

Who's missing?
Timothy Dalton (Prince Baron), Ornella Muti (Princess Aura), and the actress who played Klytus' colleague. Mariangela Melato (General Kala). It is a shame that they could not partake in any new interviews, but there is an older interview with Timothy Dalton before he donned the 007 Title, of course.

Tons of extras folks on this set. I Highly recommend it!
*** I have read numerous complaints about that super edition with the CD Soundtrack, the Blu-rays are Region B for UK and the 4K disc itself has technical problems with it. DO NOT get that unless you want to shell out near $100 for all the other stuff and you have a region free player. Still, the 4K disc has a manufacturing issue.

Star Wars custom cabinet with riser!
on July 17, 2020
Posted by: 93Vet
I used to play the 1980s sit down version back in the day and I never thought I would own one similar until now. It is really nicely done.
I got it with the custom riser as I am 6 foot 3 inches. It helps quite a bit. The colors and artwork are very well done. The light up marquee is nice, however it is plastic, not glass. Just be aware of that. It's one unit. Assembly is not that bad, just follow the instructions well, as pictured. All pieces and parts were in their own individual sealed bags, and accounted for.
Game play is really good and with the deck protector, it should be good for a long time. The control yoke that you steer the ships with is mostly made of hard plastic, so don't go too hard on that and bang it up in game play. I am pleased overall with the product and play is just as I recall back in the mid 1980s!

5 out of 5Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it's good.
By laopwh
Flash Gordon isn't for everyone, but it is a good movie set in 1980.the music score is what makes the movie really good because new score is all done by Queen. What makes the steelbook really good as it's the 40th anniversary of the movie itself. Anybody knows the story behind Flash Gordon knows the story itself. Flash Gordon, Dale Arden, and Doctor Zarcough have to find a way to stop Earth's destruction. Not knowing that Ming the Merciless is behind everything and Earth's destruction. Having the 40th anniversary edition come out on steelbook is worth every penny.

Step right up to the counter and play away. Arcade1Up's next generation of countercades is here in a new form factor. Take it right out of the box, plug it in, and start gobbling up pellets. Perfect for home bars, offices, dorm rooms, or anywhere else you'd want to squeeze in some retro gaming, Arcade1Up~s countercades are compact in size, but always an enormous amount of fun. Yep, here she is. Possibly a diva but most definitely an icon, Ms. Pac-Man. Guide her way through those mazes while evading Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Sue. In the mood to switch it up? You've also got the classics Pac-Man, Plus, Galaga, and Dig Dug all inside. Featuring authentic gameplay with real feel controls, Arcade1Up's countercades are the way to bring that classic arcade experience home, even if you're short on space.

Hi, I have Ms. Pac-Man on a tabletop version and it is exact like the genuine ARCADE version from early 80s. In the original version of the game she starts out slow and then she speeds up as you clear a few screens, around the PEACH and APPLE stages.
Is it the same here on the countercade version?

Since you bought it from BEST BUY, give them the receipt and ask for a replacement or a refund since it was damaged and defective. BEST BUY is the seller and they are responsible.

4 out of 5Another great package from Arcade1up
By TRAINMAN0703
The very best aspect of this over Arcade1up's original Pac-Man offering is the upgraded monitor. The original Pac-Man's image would wash out when you looked at it from a slight angle. This rendition does not do that. The image is bright and crisp from any angle. The monitor is also set further back in the cabinet and tilted more, which does not sound like much on paper until you actually play it and compare it to the real arcade machine.
I buy these things solely with modifications in mind, therefore I did not play any of the included games right out of the box. For those who do not "mod" these, the assortment of games is a vast improvement over the chintzy offering of a mere 2 Pac-titles in the last Pac-Man cabinet. I am baffled by the inclusion of "Galaga" however. Pac-Man's "lady friend" would have been great here, but she is getting her own royal treatment (and deservedly so) soon. I must point out that they did change the way the control panel mounts to the cabinet and how the lower two front-facing panels (these are also slightly resized) directly below said control panel install. Because of the alteration(s) to the control panel, you cannot just slide in/out the panels below it, which will make for a tricky assembly process. The shape of the cabinet itself is another notable improvement as it veers much closer to capturing the profile of the real thing. The speakers (yes, speakerS) are now housed behind/under the marquee, which is also far more arcade-like not just in looks but also sound reproduction.
The light-up marquee, light-up (albeit non-prototypical) control deck, bar stool and riser make this package the best value of any Pac-Man 40th anniversary offering, as separate-sale risers are VERY hard to come by; and, to my knowledge, the 40th anniversary-themed bar stool is not sold separately at all. Again, I will gripe that the design on the riser does not look like a natural extension of the cabinet. The faux-wood grain should be on the sides and the black in the front. Oh well. This can be fixed with after-market graphics for those who really feel the need. I think I personally would have preferred the cabinet to be yellow like the 1980 prototype, but the "cabaret" models of the time did indeed have a wood grain finish, albeit with no graphics.
If you did not get the original Pac-Man cabinet from Arcade1up, this is most certainly worthy of consideration. Other than the slightly trickier assembly, this is an improvement in almost every way.

40th Anniversary Special Edition from Best Buy..
September 15, 2020
Hi, great review of the newer version of PAC-MAN from Arcade1up. I am going to get this one for my upcoming 54th bday! Yes, I am showing my age, but, I was 13 when the original cabinet came out. I loved it then and I still love it now. I would have to agree with you on the riser part as per the graphics, but, I think they were going for a contrast look. Agreed also, they should have continued the wood grain on the sides and kept the black on the front to make it look uniform. I do love the SPECIAL EDITION from Best Buy. Not only do you get the light up aspects of the unit, you also get the stand with the graphics.
My only complaint would be the unit having the AUDIO switch setting too loud if you go beyond 1.

That's too bad. I think you got a glitch in the part where the circuit board is. I had the original GALAGA/GALAXIAN game and in some games on the GALAXIAN the screen froze up right in the middle of playing. I was not a happy person. I got rid of it and sold it cheap to someone else that wanted GALAGA, which had no issues.
SUPER PAC-MAN is going to be on the MS. PAC-MAN cabinet coming soon AND there is a SUPER PAC-MAN cabinet from COSTCO that has it on it's own. This just came out within a few days to a week. September 15, 2020. You have to go to COSTCO and find someone with a membership to purchase. You cannot get it online to my knowledge.

Packaging was great and care has been taken to protect the parts in transit. Assembly was about 1.5-2 hours from start to finish. I was taking my time to make sure I didn’t scratch any pcs during assembly. The cabinet looks great and the light up marquee really makes it stand out. The graphics on the riser add a nice touch as well. The cabinet comes with dual speakers and the sound quality is good. I bought the cabinet for Ms Pac-Man but having Dig Dug was a bonus. Overall I’m really happy with my purchase and would recommend.

By SirDevoidOfHate
The definitive collection, and probably the last one you’ll ever need (unless they do a 4K release in the future). The first four films have never looked better, period! And if you’re a 3D supporter (we’re a dying breed these days, but we’re out there!) then you will love finally having a proper 3D release of Part 3! Also, having the Unrated Cut of Jason Goes to Hell is a major plus! The bonus features are very informative, though it’s a shame that the Crystal Lake Memories documentary isn’t included. That’s not to take away from what Scream Factory put together. This is an AMAZING collection!

Uncut version of JGTH/Jason X
October 31, 2020
HI, I have this set as well from Shout! Factory and it appears there is a minor audio issue with Jason X. A sound effect is not present when Jason goes to kill a woman character in the movie.
JGTH seems to be missing a scene from other reviewers I have read on. I am not worried about this as I have the UNRATED DVD from Lionsgate already.

By Misterday
Great movie. But so removed from the original animated movie, you might enjoy it more if you consider them to not have anything to do with each other. There’s no music, no Mushu, no romance. The only real thing making it a Mulan movie is her name is Mulan. They don’t do a great job of making you feel like she’s a boy in the army. It’s a lazy gender bend if you ask me. But the movie has everything a live action Disney movie can want or need. Great story, great special effects, great score, great action and emotion. Just don’t compare it to the cartoon too much and you’ll like it a lot more.

This release brings together every entry into Peter Jackson's critically-acclaimed The Lord of the Rings trilogy, based on the novels by J.R.R. Tolkien. Hobbit Frodo Baggins and the Fellowship embark on a dangerous quest to destroy the One Ring, and with it, its maker, the Dark Lord Sauron, in order to save Middle Earth forever. Included here are The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002), and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003).

Unlike some other buyers, luckily my copy came right on time and in perfect condition.
The movies themselves are phenomenally mastered with crisp picture, robust hdr color/contrast, and awesome 4k textures I've never seen before on previous inferior versions. These look excellent in my home theater and serve as the new showcase for my system (which used to be Mad Max: Fury Road). The steelbooks are attractive and come with cushioning foam in the slipcase to protect them from rubbing against each other.
Not as much extra content (i.e. The Appendices) as previous versions, so I'll need to keep my old copy as well.

Yes, agreed on the extra content. The Blu-rays have already been previously released, so, I didn't expect them again in these newer sets.

Brings back memories of hanging out at the Arcade with a pocket full of quarters when I was young. My daughter absolutely loves it and we enjoy seeing who can get the high score on this 40th Anniversary Pac-Man. The custom stool is nice and the backlit Marquis and control deck is really nice. The led control deck has a button on the right that can change the colors or slowly rotate through all the colors. The replay value is good for the list of Pac-Man games plus you get Galaga! Very happy.

You're going to hate buying this version when a New 12-1 Legacy Edition is coming, better cabinet, more games, for the same price.

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.

will this charge my apple tv remote?
Not sure, but I asked the Best Buy tech on duty and he sold me one similar to this one for my Galaxy 21 phone.
It works well. My advice to you would be to go in person if you can and tell them your question. They should point you to the correct item that will work for you.

Most steelbook editions contain the DVD as well. Do any of these contain the DVD's? And none of the special features are listed. I am particularly interested if the 4k/blu-ray have extra features that the DVD's do not. Thanks for your quick reply. Cathy
No, there is no standard DVD in this one or the newest release with different artwork.
The special features are on the Blu-ray disc itself.
Behind the scenes, gaffes/goof real, etc.
I believe it is the same special features released.

are there any special features
Will this item ever be available to order? I see you all still have thor 1 and 2 on steel book
Your best bet now, Dan, is to find one on Ebay or similar. It has been 5 years now, so it is most likely out of print.

Does this have a sip cover?
It did when it first came out on 4K. I don't think it can be found in the brick-and-mortar stores with one now in 2022, 5 years later.
You may have to go to ebay for one.

Does the movie come with the slipcover in 2022?
Not to my knowledge Ajay. You might have to find one on Ebay. I have seen less and less slipcovers for older movies.

The Terminator returns in this explosive action-adventure spectacle. Now he's one of the good guys, sent back in time to protect John Connor, the boy destined to lead the freedom fighters of the future. Sarah Connor, John's mother, a quintessential survivor has been institutionalized for her warning of the nuclear holocaust she knows is inevitable. Together, the threesome must find a way to stop the ultimate enemy-the T-1000, the most lethal Terminator ever created.
Does this come with a slipcover
Most of these did when they were first made. Now, I am not sure if you would get one with this purchase.
