    No UHD Available for Pre-order Until Right Before Release

    Why are many movies offered for pre-order not available in UHD until the day of release? Deadpool 2, for example, is not available to pre-order in UHD, but you know it will be available in UHD. I had Pacific Rim Uprising pre-ordered in HDX since it was made available, and on Monday morning I saw it was suddenly available in UHD. I was able to cancel my pre-order and buy it in UHD. If it had already been charged to my account because bonus content was available, and I was stuck with HDX, I would have been angry. While we are here, why is resolution upgrade not available for a price that is reduced from the full purchase price?

    Deadpool 2 may not be available in UHD on Vudu during its traditional release. The original Deadpool is 4k on disc but only HDX on Vudu. Since both films are 20th Century Fox studios films and, at this time there are no UHD films on Vudu from that studio, it would require a change in direction/contracts from the studio execs during the release of that film in the Fall

      You didn't answer my question. Time and Time again a movie is on the pre-order page available in SD and HDX only, until a day or two before the streaming release date when UHD is suddenly added.

        VUDU can't put an UHD pre-order for content they are unsure they'll have in UHD, so it is added when they get the content or confirmation of the content. I would recommend waiting to pre-order until closer to release. VUDU does not currently support resolution upgrades for movies, though it would be a nice feature.
