Guessing a typo and they meant to talk about the conference "next week" sept 7. Don't know when this was written. Since today is Labor day, i'm guessing it was written last week.
But I'm waiting to hear about the Neo. Depending on what is said, I'll either get it or the Xbox One S. Just recently purchased a Oled 4k tv and need to get a 4k player now. Xbox One S is currently winning for players, though I'm waiting for the $299 version. (there is one that is $299 with a bunch of Halo games. Don't want any Halo games.
But gonna see what this Neo is and see if get that instead.
Don't care about games. I doubt I'll buy even 1 game for either system. It's solely for movies. Sadly I doubt the Neo will support Dolby Vision, since Sony's TV's do not. The Xbox One S does not support Dolby Vision either.
Edit: So if the Neo doesn't release soon, I will be getting the XBox One S. I know Sony is all about VR, but they really could miss some customers due to 4k/HDR adaption. It seems that it is only speeding up. MIcrosoft was wise getting the S out as early as they did. It's the cheapest 4k player on the market right now and could monopolize the home theater crowd due to that.
