Great Color but up-scaled 4k

Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was mastered in only 2k, so this disc is an up-scaled transfer and NOT native 4k. And that shows. The HDR additional helps with the color, especially in this movie where bright colors and darkness are used to great effect in costumes and specific scenes. They did at an atmos audio track, so that's a nice addition if you have the setup for it.

All the bells and whistles but....

the 4k bd is loaded. Atmos, HDR, Dolby vision, just chock full of everything. Movie is also great, tho I am not sure how much I will re-watch. With Spider-man being inserted into the MCU, we will be getting a lot of him, so I am more hyped to see his story arch to progress than re-watching this movie...

It was the No Man's Land trench scene and my goodness if that isn't reason enough to watch this and show off to your friends.

Finally, a Single Player Mode

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have not played the multiplayer, I have PUBG for that. To me, this is a way to play a new movie, following new characters (with some nice cameos here and there), in a time period that is unexplored in the movies. It good at what it is, a linear, story-based campaign with some great moments, sprinkled in with some typical shooter-gameplay.

Same old thing

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought Gears of War 4 because of the new updated graphics for the Xbox One X. And while it is pretty to look at, the game play is the same exact cover n shoot mechanics from the first one. If I was more into the narrative, ala Uncharted, I probably would not care, but I am just not invested in this story or characters much anymore. That said, it's a great looking game, and if you are new to the franchise or just a big fan you are sure to enjoy this addition to the franchise.

One of the few must have 4K BDs

Verified Purchase:Yes
I loved the movie and after getting my Xbox one X knew I had to get some 4k Blurays to show off my TV. GotG 2 is a great choice, the movie was shot in 4K and with high end TVs and home theater setups in mind - even has an immersive audio track to boot. If this disc is anything to go by, Disney entering the 4k market is gonna be a great for 4k TV owners!

Reference Quality Footage

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this in lead up to getting my Xbox One X (also ordered through Best Buy!) to put the 4k UHD BD player to the test. I have streamed a lot of 4K HDR content through Amazon, Youtube, and Netflix - but it pales in comparison to the uncompressed video quality found on a 4K Bluray. Planet Earth 2 is THE disc to have to showcase your new 4K TV, and will impress even non-home theatre/technology enthusiasts with its clarity, color and wow factor.

I pre-ordered at Best Buy with my GCU membership to get the 20% off and the extra pre-orders rewards, including this coin! It's nifty and has some weight to it, but ultimately I have no idea what to do with it, it's just a coin. No display case, use or purpose. But hey, FREE!

Great Movie - Great Disc
on May 12, 2017
Posted by: Geekrocker
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love this movie. I think most people do based on its reviews. So I'll focus on the actual disc which includes an incredible transfer that is vibrant, full of life and really takes advantage of each and every pixel and color allowed in the Blu-ray format. The Audio mix is also spectacular. This mix shines on a surround sound system, with ships, battles, and worlds coming to life in your living room or home theater.

Can I download my Xbox One games onto this?

Christmas is coming so will I be able to download the new games i get directly onto this external hard drive? I have about 89% of my console's storage used so would i be able to use this?
YES! I have a similar drive attached to my Xbox One and it works great! You simply plug the drive into the side USB port on your Xbox One, the system will recognize a HDD has been plugged in and ask if you will want to use it for game storage. it will prompt you to format the drive. Keep in mind, that if you format the drive, all data will be erased. In addition, once formatted you CAN NOT use the drive on another computer to store/transfer files. It is locked to an Xbox One unless you format it again, which will delete all your Xbox One games/data.

Best to purchase this and leave hooked up to the Xbox One.

Will this product work with PS4?

Yes. However, the PS4 does not support any game data to be saved on external devices such as this. You can store movies, photos and music files on this for use on the PS4 however.
