This is scanned / mastered in 4K but released as standard blu-ray, so the only real advantage is we are getting a new and hopefully improved transfer.
There are some true 4K video material available online, but, as far as I know, no 4K physical release yet and no playback device; the only 4K device that has begun to be commercially offered are TVs. And if you play a standard BD disc –it doesn't matter how high the master resolution it was sourced from, it will be just BD resolution– on a 4K TV all you will be able to get is an upscale, just the way DVDs are upscaled to BD resolution now.

Because the scanning resolution of the original negative is 4 times the resolution of regular 1080p. That difference will be noticeable if displayed even on a 1080p display... because it's 4 times the pixels. I'm sure you'd notice the difference between a Xerox and a photograph?
I know it's a resolution. But if hardly anyone has a display that can make full use of it, what's the point ? I seriously doubt that you'd notice much of a difference on a 1080p display....

4K isn't a display; it's a scanning resolution. The filmmakers scan the original negatives at 4K for increased fidelity to the original source. The consumer is not required to have special televisions to display 4K sourced films. It would be better for the consumer to have a display with a 4K output (4096 x 2160 pixels) but it's not required (just like an HDTV is not required for Blu-Ray playback).

Gabe or any other technically oriented person, if I'm totally wrong on this, please correct me.

One of the few Tim Burton films I can actually stand. That cover art is pretty garish though
*shrugs*
Sure, I'll give you my money, the DVD version.

Hmmm.....there is something about this artwork that screams "BAD PHOTOSHOP" but I can't even be sure. Also, you would think that considering the continuing popularity of this movie that Fox celebrate its 25th anniversary in style, not just have a 4k restoration, 2 commentaries, 1 featurette and a physical set of extras. No trailers, no retrospective, no photo galleries. Next to the Bond movies, Avatar, the X-Men movies, Star Wars and the DreamWorks Animation library, "Edward Scissorhands" is one of the studio's top home media titles.
