Those are the prices quoted for Despicable Me & Despicable Me 2 on Amazon UK. The first two prices are for the bundled DVD and Blu-Ray disks.
The last price is for two separate disks upscaled artificially from 2K to 4K. They also include HDR and Dolby Vision.
Now I know there is a premium on new technology but in all seriousness I'm not prepared to pay a 415% premium given the lack of effort by the studio to tempt us into this medium. The films are no funnier or entertaining in 4K than Blu-ray and given the excellent upscaling of both my TV and Oppo 203 with Blu-ray I doubt the difference will be night and day.
I would be prepared to pay £30-35 for both, £40 absolute max. That is more than enough. Do you feel the same given in a few months time the 4K price will invariably drop?
And are you fed up with the lack of true 4K films? The majority appear to be 2K upscales but with no reduction over a true 4K one.
