Tell me guys.. would bluray be sufficient enough to have 4k resolution video on it?...

if not.. i fear sony might introduce a new video format for storing 4k movies.. on the " PS4k "

I just found an example. A 50 minute movie shot in 4K resolution needs 160GB of storage capacity, well beyond the capabilities of the current Blu-ray disc. If we extrapolate a little, a 120 minute movie (a good average), it will require 384GB.

Hey thanks for the reply! yikesss... !

wowsers.... hmm.. makes me think.. will sony be pushing 4k format next?.. as they like to create push new formats along with their console/handhelds.. haha scary thought.. lets all hope not for the sake of PS4 costs...

even though the name PS4k looks like a fit for the 4k format.. lol.. scary! coincidence?

It depends if they're going to put in a higher capacity blu-ray drive. Pioneer already demonstrated a 400gb blu-ray disc in 2008

Even better, these discs can be read using the same objective lens in current Blu-ray drives, meaning it’s possible for future drives supporting the 16-layer disc to also support today’s Blu-ray media.

100/128gb BDXL discs are available on the market now, with a bit more compression an 8 layer 200/256gb disc could work too for 4K.
That 50 minute movie example runs at 436 mbps, showing of the best possible quality. More realistically a 5x increase of average 1080p blu-ray bandwidth should suffice. Let's say 5 x 40mbps = 200mbps or 175gb for 120 minutes. Sony had that tech in 2004. There just hasn't been any need for it yet.
