I'm in?
Loved the first Creed movie, and don't actually have any Steelbook come to think of it 
Passed on FAC's editions too..
Thing is with these 4K releases, for those that buy simply for the 4K UHD experience, what's the point in even having the standard 2D disk I have to wonder??
Just unnecessary extra cost for what's ultimately another redundant disk, no?! I myself have a 4K set-up downstairs in the lounge but not upstairs in my bedroom where I can also watch movies etc, so the two kinda work out for me, I guess..

If I recall, that was the original thinking behind including a DVD copy in with blu-ray releases. In the beginning they figured people would not have 2 blu-ray players because of the cost so they included the DVD so that it could be watched in places that you didn't have a blu-ray player. Like for kids in the car on portable players. Or at the cottage or to take a copy when visiting others.
So I'm guessing same idea now with 4K. Like you mentioned.
Due to file sizes double layer BDs rarely hold more than the UHD movie and audio tracks, for some reason studios have settled on including a HD copy for the extras rather than using a triple layer disc. The only triple layer discs I'm aware of were only used due to the length of the movie like BvS Ultimate Edition. I doubt this will change unless they start including extras in UHD quality.Loved the first Creed movie, and don't actually have any Steelbook come to think of it

Of course this also makes it look like better value for money and encourages future proofing.
Yes that's right. I forgot about that. I don't have 4K myself but I have noticed on the back of J-cards for steelbooks that the 4K UHD discs only contain the movie and all of the extras are on the standard blu-ray disc. So I guess there won't be many 4K only releases.
