The comment mentioned that it was a special feature on the disc that mentions this.

Here's one of the special features posted on Youtube (by History Channel UK), which has the following comment:

Here's that follow-up video they mention, another of the special features for the set:

That video shows that they are projecting to a screen and shooting it on a RED ONE, at 4K. Going by the procedure in the video, it looks like they'd get the color reels from the archives, clean and project/shoot the whole thing, then use a downconverted version for editing.

Considering that the first video mentions that they found 2000 hours of color footage, if they actually captured all 2000 hours in 4K before they started editing (which it sounds like they did), I can see why they went with the "cheapskate" route. I suppose once they had edited down the footage down to the bits they wanted, they could've gone back and transferred just that footage via a film scanner, but they probably didn't have the time/money for that kind of redundancy (they figured the RED capture looked good enough).

Amazing Spiderman Four-Disc Combo: Blu-ray 3D/Blu-ray/DVD + UltraViolet Digital Copy $19.99

Unfortunately, this is the "movie-only" version without the Maximum Movie Mode feature. I was wondering if this was what was going to happen after getting burned by a stripped-down Harry Potter 8 BD for $10 last year. Glad I was able to see the back of the box this time.

Thinking I'm gonna pick up Warrior and Midnight in Paris tomorrow if they stay at $7.99 and $8.49, respectively.

Thanks to Jay G. for the authoritative answer re/ the HD mastering on WWII in HD.

Wondering if there was never any intent to do a blu-ray release in the first place, but later they decided they could get away with one, so to speak...

and I almost snagged it from Best Buy for this price.. glad Amazon PM'd... cause I can use my Amazon Credit..

Fringe Season 2 is $16.99.
Magic Mike is $12.99.

I actually ordered it from BB already, but was able to cancel the order. Just re-ordered from Amazon with my credit...

The Walking Dead Complete Season 1 Bluray at 9.90 now.

Amazon seems to be matching the Best Buy prices a few at a time. By the time they match some of them, they've probably lost sales to BB, at the same prices. Seems weird to me, but whatever.

Since last night, here's what I've gotten from them. They finally got me on The Sound of Music; I paired it with another title to use the FB promo:

Hatfields and McCoys $9.99
Shameless Season 1 $23.49
The Sound of Music $19.99
The Caine Mutiny $4.99 (used $5 off $25 promo; purchased with TSOM)
Van Morrison--Born to Sing: No Plan B (CD) $6.99

I'm aware there is a $4.99 lightning deal on the Van Morrison tomorrow, but I will be at a funeral during that time and not able to access the site.

Wrath of the Titans appears to be the same.

Wondering for the end user that just wants the movie if this makes a difference. Now having second thoughts....

Mentioned the "movie only" nature of WRATH and SHERLOCK (and PROJECT X), as well as related drops on combo versions for a couple of them, in a post on the last page, but it was posted so late last night, that those and some other drops may not have been noticed once the page turned, so just to be safe:

Yep. Got MM S4. *sigh* Guess no S5 for me this year. *grumble*

Kill Bill Vol. 1 $3.99
Kill Bill Vol. 2 $3.99
Where The Wild Things Are $6.99
Salt $3.99

No shit. I can't believe they're not putting season 5 on sale. Guess I'll just wait until a sale next year or holiday season.

What were the Mad Men blu rays at Best Buy last BF? $7.99, $9.99, or $11.99 each? I passed then but I'm considering taking the plunge now.

Also, have they announced how many seasons there will be?

Amazon matched Best Buy on the SHERLOCK HOLMES 2 combo: $9.99

The sales aren't over yet. One never knows . . .

The Adventures of Tintin 3D - $12.00
The Sopranos Season 6 Part 2 - $16.99

Benjamin Button is down to $4.96 now.

Wonder if its worth it over the just movie one. Lol

Argh! Was waiting for Cabin in the Woods to drop. It finally does, but then Alien Anthology more than doubled, and Archer Season 1 almost doubled. GDI!

looking at the features on the SH BD. It's barely worth it. The features aren't enough to get it right now for $9.99. If it was like....$7.99. That'd be be good. BF makes you look at things a bit more critically at times, in my case.

I believe they were $9.99 each. Yeah you should take the plunge if interested. They won't get any lower than that.

5 just finished airing last Spring. There is supposed to be 2 more seasons.

Kinda leaning this way myself. These "Movie Mode" things aren't my cup of tea for presenting supplements, and the $3.99 "Movie Only" Blu-ray of SHERLOCK 2 actually does come with three of the "Focus Points" from the higher-priced version (all the supplements for this one seem a bit on the fluffy side, really). Ultraviolet is hardly a bonus, either; I never use the damned things.
