I think it's interesting Sony is still selling new editions of these Spider-man movies. I thought they'd avoid them since they have a new line of movies. Are these aimed at the early UHDTV adopters? Or hardcore fans?
Probably a bit of both - the biggest fans and those with UHDTV/4KHDTV.

If you have a decent HDTV around 40 in. or larger (especially 50 in. or larger) the difference will be clearly noticeable. Technically, these 4K scans will make the film look better on anyone's HDTV but you'll be more likely to appreciate it on larger screens. The scans and encoding are a HUGE improvement.
