4K bluray players

Mar 23, 2016 6:25AM PDT

About two weeks ago Best Buy advertised Ultra 4K movies and players for sale in their stores.
Since then I purchased two 4K movies and they will not play on my upscaling bluray player.
No one has the 4K players for sale!! Best Buy still sells the 4K movies but the player is not available. What is the deal with releasing 4K movies that no one can play
??

Best Buy does have it online, I guess just not in stores yet or maybe they ran out:

Amazon has it as well, but it is out of stock at the moment

Even Walmart has it, but it is for preorder:

The case maybe it's so new that the it is low stocked item and get sold out quickly.
