82-128mbps and up to 100GB disks are still on the way, as well as the optical drives for the 4K format, but current Bluray drives and disks already support this.
As far as players go, if you have the graphics capability (nice GPU) and the screen you could run it now..

Both pre-recorded and writable.
My guess is yes, but you never know because some movies are meant to be viewed in widescreen.
The first 4K Bluray Players (such as your media center) will be available later this year.
I'm actually quite excited even though I don't have the initial investment to get involved in UHD.

I'm excited as well, even though I've come across some info by some that says Blue Ray may not make it.
For example Sony, due to underperforming sales numbers of the disks. They apparently don't have full confidence.
I like what the 4k can do for ordinary disks, it closes the performance gap between normal dvd's and going blue.
- Not such a big decision whether or not to spend the extra funds on disks alone.

My bad for not clarifying, the larger disk size is for Bluray only.. Not sure about 4K on DVD. Seems like it's not likely considering Bluray has revolutionized storage capacity..
