Variety in games
1080p gaming
4k movie playback for down the road.
It wouldn't surprise me if Sony put a blu-ray drive in there capable of reading 8 or 16 layer discs. Pioneer already made 16 layer blu-ray discs in 2008. This year Sony is launching "mastered in 4K" superbit blu-rays. (downsampled to 1080p). I'm sure they have plans to launch actual 4K blu-rays as soon as the format has been fleshed out.
It won't sell it at launch, but when a slim comes out in 4 years it might make a difference.
