Three Spider-Man films are coming together in one physical 4K pack, designed to lure PlayStation 5 owners to the Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray format.

Ah, games consoles. It may have come to your attention that both Microsoft and Sony are launching their posh new machines this November. Sony has the PlayStation 5, whilst Microsoft has the Xbox Series X or S, depending on your bank balance and which consonant you favour.

One of the selling points of Sony’s PlayStation 5 machine then is that it comes with an Ultra HD 4K Blu-ray player as part of the machine. And cunningly, Sony – which developed the format – is bundling a collection of films together in a special PlayStation 5 pack to tempt new owners.

A 4K triple pack going under the banner ‘PS5 4K Movie Essentials’ has gone up for preorder – it’s an Amazon exclusive – and it brings together Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse in one pack. It’s probably best if you like Spider-Man to get the most out of it, but the £50 retail price is cheaper than buying them all separately.

Disgusting cover. Holy shit at the 3 ribbons on top.

 

[HoodWinked]

These movies are fine but I only needed to watch them once.

 

[TonyK]

TV, TV, TV...I mean, 4K, 4K, 4K...

 

[CeeJay]

This will work on Series X as well, Sony going 3rd party confirmed! /jk

 

[Dick Jones]

This is bullshit, they should automatically upscale my blu-ray and not force me to buy more Blu-rays. Sony losing again /s

 

[The Scrivener]

Faster loading times.

 

[YCoCg]

...so you're telling me this is in 4k?

 

[West Texas CEO]

wtf is up with all this Spider-Man? I'm starting to get web-sick.

 

[Flintty]

Gonna buy and play on the Series X, just to stick it to the man

 

[TBiddy]

I totally forgot that the PS4 Pro didn't support 4K blu-rays.

 

[Spukc]

If it will support dolby atmos @ vision

i will care otherwise fuck off

 

[SCB3]

Which you cannot play on the Digitial version at all

 

[Zoro7]

Which you cannot play on the Digitial version at all

One person shouldn’t have all this intelligence.

 

[SCB3]

One person shouldn’t have all this intelligence.

You'd be surprised at some people that will buy this despite that

 

[ZywyPL]

Spidermanstation 5 lol, looks like Sony is putting everything they can into Spider-Man franchise for the PS5- SM:MM, SM Remaster, now the BD move pack, wonder what's next? This reminds me of the OG PS3 and its SM-themed font (which was so much better that what we have now IMO), Sony has some strong attachment to the brand it seems.

You’d have to be a real simpleton to buy a disc when your console has no drive for it.

People can't even tell the difference between "One" and "Series", or "pre-order" and "delivery tomorrow".

The naming scheme is dumb and confusing, but the below was inevitable.

Xbox One X sales spike during Xbox Series X pre-order launch, a case of mistaken identity?

Microsoft's Xbox Series X pre-order launch may have caused a number of gamers to mistaken purchase an Xbox One X instead.

I wonder if it's the same as the Wii and Wii U. I remember a lot of people I knew genuinely thought it was some sort of Wii expansion but that might be because Wii went more mainstream than Xbox ever did.

The biggest issue was that all the marketing was built around the tablet. It was very rare you saw the console or that it was prominent in shots. It didn't help that it looked and felt like some Fisher Price toy and that its games felt like Wii ports. I was impressed by Zombi, but there was a big feeling of "What now?" on day one.

Was also stung by the Vita at around the same time, which was the bigger disappointment. At least that had potential.

The Series X sales are down to scalpers using bots, most likely. 700 per cent rise isn't that big a jump when there are barely any One X consoles to buy either.

 

[The Hamburglar]

SSD

 

[Deft Beck]

Wake me up when they do this for Talladega Nights.

 

[Nikana]

There's one good movie in there, not worth it.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Got to bulk out those release titles

 

[Red Rackham's Revenge]

It's a good move pushing physical.

Hopefully they expand on this and get people associating the PS5 with physical and traditional games. IMO, they have the advantage here.

 

[INC]

lol the price they want for spiderman upgrades, they should offer at least one of those spiderman films as a free download

 

[Kenpachii]

4k 4k 4k 4k 4k

did we mention its 4k

 

[GymWolf]

The last 2 spiderman movies are only essential if you are dangerously constipated.

 

[Tiamat2san]

Into the spider verse is amazing.
the art style is incredible.
it takes time to adjust your eyes to the animation though.
HDR is beautiful.
highly recommended to démo your 4K HDR to people who don’t what they are missing.

the Disney movies are ok ...

 

[Diddy X]

...so you're telling me this is in 4k?

Not sure yet, I'd need to see the back to confirm.

 

[dotnotbot]

Disgusting cover. Holy shit at the 3 ribbons on top.

UHD Blu-rays were always ugly.

This says absolutely nothing about people buying it, that rate changed just on interest alone.

couple it with the fact that before the SeriesX went live it would show you a One X instead it makes sense.

 

[LOLCats]

one of those is a cartoon

 

[Mobilemofo]

Gonna buy and play on the Series X, just to stick it to the man

That'll show em..

Artwork TBC. Bottom right.

Your point? The 'cartoon' one is the best one out the 3 lol

 

[Spaceman292]

TV, TV, TV...I mean, 4K, 4K, 4K...

Holy fffuck that's like 12K

 

[Birdo]

24fps.

 

[OneBigPuss]

1 great movie and 2 mediocre one.Not really essential.

 

[Kerotan]

I totally forgot that the PS4 Pro didn't support 4K blu-rays.

Yeah and that's a big reason why they don't sell much. This new gen particularly sales of the PS5 will give 4k blu rays a big boost. Hopefully they drop in prices.

 

[Warnen]

Holy shit they going full MS last gen huh? TV and virder goms!

 

[Flintty]

That'll show em..

I know right!

I was just being ironic btw

 

[FunkMiller]

4K blu ray is deader than Stadia. Everybody streams now.

 

[Esppiral]

Already whatced on Xbox One X, thanks sony

 

[TGO]

Can we get a pixel count?

 

[Calverz]

Sony needing to make paper

 

[mitch1971]

wow 12k!

 

[Andodalf]

Stuff like this makes it more embarrassing that the pro didn’t have a uhd drive when the one s did

 

[HeresJohnny]

For the low, low price of $69.99?

 

[Vawn]

Some of you seek out things to be outraged over. It's like the video-game equivalent to SJW outrage culture.
