| Posted: January 16, 2016 12:54 PM | | | | 4K Ultra HD discs are almost here. Decided to make the thread here since I'm not sure if they are going to be contributable in DVD Profiler without a program update, and I know some people will want to contribute them. The discs are called "4K Ultra HD" You can pre-order the Samsung Ultra HD Blu-ray player UBD-K8500 right now: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-audio/UBD-K8500/ZAYou can pre-order 4K Ultra HD discs on Amazon USA now. Most don't have release dates; The Martian has a March 1 release date. Some of the movies are Salt, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Chappie, Hancock, The Expendables 3, The Martian, Pineapple Express, and The Smurfs 2. Packaging / cover example:  | | | 99.9% of all cat plans consist only of "Step 1." |

| Posted: January 16, 2016 6:31 PM | | | | Hell, I paid $2,000 for my first DVD player, a Pioneer Elite DV-09.
It was a gift from my wife who had no idea that it was the beginning of my illness (addiction).
Already have a 4k TV, so it looks like a 4k Player is now on the wish list. | | | Hal | | | Last edited: January 16, 2016 6:35 PM by hal9g |

What is wrong with $400 for a player? DVD originally had players for $550-$1.2K and Blu-ray had players for $500-$1.2K at inception. True, but as I also said, I don't see it taking off (it would appear the next gen is digital than physical format), the upgrade in quality just isn't enough versus from VHS to DVD and then DVD to BD. I also remember paying a lot for an HD-DVD/BD combo player, though it's been worth every penny. And yeah, as others said, the TV is going to be the biggest obstacle, though I guess if mine ever gives out, might make the investment depending on the price. | | | Last edited: January 17, 2016 3:39 PM by The Movieman |
