This is very frustrating to me.

I am happy for 4K adopters that the film is coming out in that format. I also think it's great that Danny DeVito did audio commentary for this release, which definitely adds value to it.

However, I'm also annoyed that Sony isn't making the audio commentary available to me. I don't have a 4K television or player, so I can't use the 4K disc. If Sony would reauthor the Blu-ray included in this package to also have the audio commentary on it, I would probably buy this again just to have the commentary track. But it sounds like they're not doing that because all of the bonus features listed on the Blu-ray are the same as the existing Blu-ray release, so they're just putting in a copy of what I already own.

This way, even if I bought the new edition, there would be no way for me to access the commentary without upgrading my entire system. So I guess they don't want any more of my money.

Oh well.
