Akira 4K UltraHD: HDR Disc Replacement Program

Apparently, Funimation, released their 4K UltraHD disc without any HDR. However, they've fixed this problem with no additional costs to the customer.
See link for further details:

Spec for the US release?

Spec for the US release?

Sadly, not at this time. I was going tell my friend to get me it for Christmas, but reading the constant delays on the blu-ray forum, I told him then to me Golgo 13 (which is out of print, but amazon is selling as "new" repackaged copies). However, I do plan to get hopefully at some point.

Right now most of the reviews on the US release don't give us the type of spec we require. They're either unboxing videos or reviews that mine-as-well be press-releases;

Found this Korean press release on:

The link also has images of the product (which is too big for me to post on our forum).
Just sharing for future reference and any who may want to know.
