No, the 4K release is the UHD and the same two BDs included in the original Sapphire Series release.

Nope. It's a three disc set.

There's a reason why I said here as in Norway where I live, not the US nor the UK. Here's the links if you want to see it for yourself.

As a matter of fact I bought the US edition for just this reason, as even with shipping included it saved me money and includes all three discs. I don't find it prudent to spend more money for less if I can avoid it.

AFAIK, all Paramount 4K UHDs whose original BD releases had two BDs (movie + extras) are three disc releases. I have Transformers 1 and 3, Star Trek 1 and 2, Gladiator, SPR, and Forest Gump - all are three disc releases.

If I buy a movie on UHD BD I don't need a plain 1080p BD which only increases its price.
I was very happy when I opened the US season 1 of Game Of Thrones on UHD and this is what I found, UHD BD discs, no BD's.

I would pay a flat-rate 15$ to get "barebones" 4K releases. Just one disc in the case ... Wish they had an option for this after a couple months out in the wild.

I don't want the DC. I don't want the BD(s). I don't want supplements. I don't wanna wait 1yr+ or for deals to barely afford many a sought after title.

I don't have a 4K player yet so I buy them to avoid rebuying in the future, but can only watch the BD for now... but I wouldn't get a 4K only set probably, unless those players get dirt cheap like the normal BD players are. If my 4K player were to stop working, I wouldn't be able to just go buy a new one right away and you can't always rely on decent internet to stream any digital copies (which I usually sell mine anyway, only ones I have came from InstaWatch or if it's something other people might watch then I'd redeem it) so I would always want a BD just in case.

If it's a catalog title with just 4K it might not be such a big deal because I'd probably already have the BD release... but if it had BD with it too, I'd try and sell off my BD-only release.

Saw Sanyo 4K/HDR players under $100 in Walmart the other day, they are getting cheaper.
