Forgive me if I've overlooked something, but who among us would buy this set and not basically shelve half the discs?

ie If you have a 4k setup, what's the point of the 15 Blus, and vice versa?

I can't be alone in being frustrated by the dual format!?

That’s where most (all?) of the extras go.

How are you “shelving” anything, it’s all in one package

Well ok. Figure of speech.

But 15 discs that don't matter?

Again, as denti mentioned, the extras typically appear on the Blu-rays not the UHDs. So, they presumably do matter to most purchasers

Ah!

In other words...I missed something!

(Edit: In my defence, Denti is on my ignore list!)

If you were not interested in the 4k discs, then you’d have a legitimate complaint.

Hmmm, people actually do that?

I actually wish more people would do that. I have done it in the past.

I'm just having trouble seeing why anyone would do it to denti.

Well, I have no need for 4K discs now… but I keep telling myself that will change before I leave the planet. And given I already bought some of these films five times on disc, I really want this to be the last time I buy any Kubrick film!

Yeah, I mean, by the time I get around to going 4k, it might be some other thing!

(And honestly, I can't remember why the "ignore" thing. Some silliness from a few weeks ago. (Likely my fault!) I'm sure I'm on some lists!)
