I noticed on amazon.com that there are webpages for these upcoming BD releases with 4K(2160P), that are already listed on there now as well. Also, i found this bit of information on amazon.com on all the webpages for the upcoming 4K(2160P) movies on BD > http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-a...qid=1366504323 .....

So from what it sounds like it says that i have highlighted above, people will be able to use their current hdtv's and blu-ray players. Which is a good thing for people that might of recently bought 1080P hdtvs and 1080P blu-ray players. Oh, and i almost forgot to mention this, that those BD releases i posted a link to on amazon.com and from here on blu-ray.com, have a May 14th 2013 BD release date. Maybe that is going to be when hdtv's and blu-ray players with the next hdtv resolution number after 1080P will be released, meaning 2160P .

What all of this means is that you are still getting 1080P and they are just using the 4K master as the source. Nothing more! These are in no way, shape or form 4K movies and the resolution is absolutely not 2160P.

It's all marketing so they can get people to re-buy titles they already have at a very marginal improvement in picture quality. Don't fall for it people!!

Once 4K TVs are affordable and there is a standard 4K format for home movies then these discs will be crap. In the end they are still 1080P and the only thing that a 4K player and TVs can do with them is to upconvert the picture, the same way your current blu ray players and 1080P TVs do for DVDs.
