Hardcover Graphic Novel . There's also a Limited Edition 64-Page Digibook available, and if it's just the movie and extras you want, not all the bells and whistles, a 2-disc set (including both cuts) has you covered. As well as the Extended Cut, bonus features you'll only find on the Blu-ray include: Task Force X: One Team, One Mission ; Chasing the Real ; Joker & Harley: "It" Couple of the Underworld ; Squad Strength and Skills ; Armed to the Teeth ; This Is Gonna Get Loud: The Epic Battles of Suicide Squad ; and The Squad Declassified .

This previously unseen footage has now been restored to the film and the Blu-ray edition is where you'll find the Extended Cut , which features a bit more Joker and Harley Quinn, a longer introduction to Killer Croc, and Harley's psychoanalysis of the Squad (she was an Arkham Asylum doctor, remember). This makes picking up a HD copy of the DC Comics' blockbuster a no brainer (the Theatrical Cut is also included) – now you only need to decide which edition to go for.

Moreover, the range of back catalogue titles is also expanding. The Hunger Games franchise is coming to 4K on December 7, along with Martin Scorsese's gangster classic Goodfellas . And if you've already picked up Jason Bourne on 4K, you can now add the other three Damon films – The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy and The Bourne Ultimatum – to your collection. The candy colours of Suicide Squad will truly pop in 4K, and animated hit The Secret Life of Pets will have your dogs howling with delight. And let's not forget the magnificent Wild West hues of The Magnificent

Seven , or the currently available 4K titles that are considered demo material: The Revenant , Mad Max: Fury Road and Deadpool . There's more reason than ever to get excited about 4K. If you've yet to convert to UHD, assume Santa is in a giving mood and add that 4K television you've been coveting – and a Samsung UBD- K8500 4K HDR Blu-ray Player while you're at it – to your Christmas wish- list.

The Fury Road Blu-ray will include both colour and Black and Chrome versions, plus a new intro from Miller.
