The Olympics? I'm skeptical most people will buy 8K just to watch the Olympics for a few months. Maybe rich people will, but not regular people. Most people want a TV where they can enjoy their favorite movies and TV shows in the best possible format. Personally, I'm not a sports aficionado. I doubt most broadcasters will switch to 8K by 2020. As I write this, some independent channels are actually still airing content in standard definition.
I do know that at some point 8K will be viable, but I don't think that point will be reached by 2020. Maybe 2025? Also, 8K is pointless unless you plan on buying a 100 inch flat screen or something like that. Other than the wealthy, how many people will buy 100 inch flat screens for their living rooms?
The discs presentation is awesome side by side,
so is the inside art too, but still the front art does not fit IMO 
, the back is kind of good
I just saw some screenshots that look amazing. Mine will be here in a couple hours. Will watch it tonight.
If you think it looks awful I cant imagine how bad the regular blu-ray looks.
All these are from 2K DI (sorry about thr mistake on IM2 in my previous posts).
Concorde are a small Germany based distributor and I am not sure if they have the budget and tools in place to create a true 4K DI.
Iron Man 1 and 2 - Both picture and sound were near reference quality (Paramount discs).
Iron Man 3 (Disney) was way below its prequels in terms of both picture and sound.
I don't like the front of the Steelbook and overall this Steelbook looks poor. Clearly the distributor wanted to rush and make some sales before Paramount / Disney starts releasing this in 4K with Atmos audio.
Also to the best of my knowledge, the German release of IM1 and 2 had both extras and the feature film crammed into one disc as opposed to the Paramount release that had bonus features on a separate disc.
Nobody will create "a true 4K DI" after a movie was already finished using a 2K DI. That would include re-scanning the source material and redoing the color grading and other post-processing. An utterly ridiculous effort and nobody would see the difference.

You are clearly delusional. Sony created so many 4K masters for their mastered in 4K series which are being used for the UHD releases as well despite the 2K DI counterparts being in a reasonably good shape.
They created new Blu-Ray-Masters, yes. They did most certainly not re-create the post-processing of finished films. Most (if not all) "Mastered in 4K" titles are either pre-digital movies that where still finished on actual film or more recent ones that already had a DI with a higher than 2K resolution.

You said no Studio will recreate a 4K DI when they already have a 2K DI.
Battle LA, Amazing Spiderman, Crouching Tiger etc for example had a 2K DI. Sony then created a 4K+ DI and used that for their mastered in 4K series. They might have had both created but wanted to create a hype by doing a MI4K series based on 4K DI.
Watched the 4k disc of Iron Man 1 last night. Looked pretty impressive to me!!
Crouching Tiger was shot and finished on film, there was no DI involved. Both Battle LA and Amazing Spidey were finished using a 4K DI.
I'm not sure you understand what exactly a digital intermediate is. It's part of the cinematographic process that is used to finish the actual movie. It means at one point during post-production the digitized film is fixed at a certain resolution and this is used to finish it, meaning it's the maximum actual resolution you're ever going to get unless you redo all the steps that happen after this.

6 disks in a G2 sized steelbook lol. I'm ordering 2 of these just because of that. I remember way back when, when some people were arguing with me that the most disks that can fit in a G2 case was 4. You know who you are. Here we have 6 disks, it's good to be right. As for 8k discs, forget about them. 4k will be the last physical media. Everything will be digital after 4k. Megastores like Best Buy are massively cutting down their physical disc inventory. In Canada, HMV, a major source for movies is no more. The writing is on the wall. After 4k, no more physical discs. And then my friends, our little hobby will absolutely explode. You heard it here first.
Is there anyone from the UK who wants this ?. There is a deal on at the moment where you can get 3 for the price of 2 bringing the price down to about £41.
If 2 people want to do the deal with me I would be happy to do it.
There is also an option to have it delivered straight to you from Amazon which is handy
Let me know via pm if your interested
