If Party of Five were in HD I would be sorely tempted.

Party of Five was never mastered in HD. It ended 25 years ago when Hi-Def TVs weren't prevalent yet. It's still in 4:3 Pan and scan even on the DVD set.

If MacGyver can get a HD remaster. So can Party of Five.

Probably not priority for Sony. Although Mill Creek did put out Dawson’s Creek on BD. Maybe Party of Five DVD sales weren’t great?

Who cares about Sony's priorities? This is me!

OTOH whenever I'm trying to decide on something I usually ask myself what Sony would do first ...

Dawson’s Creek was released digitally in SD, though.

Well, I bought the BD complete series set this past Christmas for $35 (widescreen and HD) The digital is SD and $60

Streaming isn't always the way ;) :lol:

Of note: when I looked closely at the fanflix advert for party of five they even had a call out saying that the licensing might expire. No sale!

It looks like everything during this sale has that. It's probably due to the California law that was passed about digital purchases. https://abc7news.com/post/gov-newsom...nses/15363891/

There's nothing worse in my opinion than watching VHS quality SD transfers on a HD or 4K television.

Yup! I'll just have to enjoy my memories of being weirdly, shamefully addicted to Po5.

Yeah I saw that on a FanFlix deal a few days ago. They have always said something similar in the fine print that no one reads. If studios were to start revoking purchases it would be the end of that market.

Sure, but who pays full price for TV shows? :lol:

One has to wonder who paid for the HD remasters and why they aren’t being used for digital, though. Probably just a matter of money, as usual.

I was watching a 1970s movie in SD on Vudu, and it didn’t look terrible. I think my TV upconverts well.

They're on Apple TV too if anyone prefers buying on Apple. Too bad I have all of them. $4.99 is a great price for No Way Home.

if you are smart about keeping a discounted gift card balance, you can save a decent amount extra on Vudu.

you are correct. I have long eschewed VUDU gift cards thinking they would just make me spend more Oldboy style. If I stick to a budget, that should not be a problem.

The 4:30 movie in 4K is $4.99 also.

Re: The kinda all streaming deals thread
 
Blue Bloods kind of gets some flack for being an "Old peoples" show. But, it's a solid weekly police procedural that does it's job. I've never heard anyone say it's a crappy show. But, I know most police procedural aren't exciting watches to many people.

$39.99 for 14 seasons doesn't sound too bad. I admit I only watched 7 of the 14, but it was more due to a lack of time keeping up with it and knowing it was always on Paramount+

I didn't think that hit the DVDTalk niche audience so I didn't post it. It's definitely not jam. I read a couple of the books and watched the first movie and just didn't care for it.
