Haven't ordered it yet myself. I wanted to get the steelbook from Amazon but CR are incorrectly filing their listings again so Amazon won't deliver it to EU addresses.

Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (4K Amazon Exclusive Steelbook Edition) is out of stock atm, I wonder if this is because of the disc issues or if it has just sold out. I was about to go buy it, I notice the U.S. Steelbook is available but not sure if that has the same disc issue or not otherwise I don't mind getting that instead.

EDIT: I'll wait a little bit and see before biting the bullet regardless, if they have recalled it, it's probably better this way than to get a replacement through Amazon / Crunchyroll.

Just What Are the Disc Issues ?

Green tint (they’re not fixing this) and the missing Dolby Vision.

green tint i understand but missing Dolby Vision ? So is it only the HK and JP release that have Dolby Vision ?

No the back of the box says Dolby Vision so it’s an error hence they are apparently going to fix it. (Just checked my copy from Amazon and yes no DV even though the box says it contains it)

I’d expect they’ll have you send in a proof of purchase and ideally you’ll get the fixed disc in the mail.

Iirc for the Akira 4K replacement it was proof of purchase and a photograph of your disc.

Just got/ noticed a message on my Funimation app
"Starting Dec 28 2023, downloading content and offline veiwing will no longer be available on funimation. You can get your favorite anime on the go with a premium membership on crunchyroll"
So not exactly sure what that will be, but sounds like we can still stream and there just removing the offline function, and I assume it applies to everything.
Still not great as they still haven't copied everything over like for like. and also no idea what the future hold for everyones funimation digital library.

Expectation; send out a sticker to cover the feature description on the case with a version lacking the ’dolby vision’ text.
For new / unsold stock, they’ll give an intern a black marker pen…
Why not fix all known issues, if you’re going to press new discs presumably from a new or updated master?

Regarding Suzume, this may be news that is potentially interesting, while also following a track record at this point
A 4K release is mentioned in a press release as something to be seen later in the year.

Thank christ, Crunchyroll have opted to do a 4K release. Considering the effort they've put into UK home video, it definitely felt like a coin flip.

Still no word if there'll be a 4K collector's/limited edition though, so I feel I'll have to get the blu-ray collector's edition anyway and then double dip for the 4k.

Yeah, same here, I want the steelbook to match my other Shinkai steelbooks (though still need to pick up The Garden of Words one) but also wanted to pick up the LE as I prefer them for titles I like.
But seeing as DBS: SH got two steelbooks (one BD and one 4K) plus a LE (BD only), is it worth waiting I wonder. I don't mind triple dipping on DB as it's my fav series (and still got to pick up the 4K steelbook at that) and though I really enjoyed Suzume, I'm not really sure if I want to triple dip. I mean the smart thing would be just to wait for the 4K release and get that only but who said buying anime was smart
I jk of course.

I'm lucky I don't have that sort of steelbook itch!
My guess is there will be a 4K steelbook and a 4K standard edition - matching the DBS SH release like you say, which is why I'm going to play it safe and get the blu-ray CE/LE.
I don't mind triple dipping for Shinkai films, but it is annoying they release the blu-ray/4k at different times. I assume it's a profit thing. Make people buy the blu-ray first and then release a 4k down the line. Or maybe there's just some hoops they have to jump through that I'm just not aware of.

Looks like the "select" Crunchyroll titles for the Sony Core app on PS5(requires PS+ Premium) and Bravia tvs will be available on Tuesday. It's still unkonwn which titles will be available.

Do you mean a new selection? They've been available since last month and there really wasn't a huge choice.

I wasn't aware they were already available in the UK. It must only be a regional availability update in this months Extra/Premium PS+ post.

Is there a way to check which shows are available without being subscribed? A list would be helpful so I can add it to the anime spreadsheet
