Wait... You're flipping out because they removed an audio port barely anyone on Earth ever uses? xD

Barley anyone on earth use it? If you dont use it, then it doesnt mean that no one the earth use it. I would suggest that you check the NeoGaf thread about the new slim and see that almost someone raises the issue of optical in almost every page in the thread. Sony just made many devices used by gamers obsolete without taking into consideration the following:

  - The world economy is not at its best, people can't keep changing things for Sony to save money

 

 - A new Neo coming, needing a new 4k TV, and then you have to pay for VR, and then you may want to replace your surround system since optical port is removed. Converters doesnt typically give the same audio quality.

 

 

There's an alternative for the few [vocal] people like you: The current PS4 model.

As for the rest, you are not required to buy a 4K TV to use the Neo or Scorpio. The consoles will work just fine on a regular 1080p screen. You should know that there are still plenty of things that can be improved by having more horsepower while sticking to 1080p resolution. Framerate, draw distance, shadow quality and lighting in general, tesselation, among plenty of other graphical features. So again, you won't be required to have a 4K TV to benefit from Neo and Scorpio's improved hardware. Games on PC, for example, using 1080p resolution and current hardware parts, look quite a bit better than their console counterparts. Resolution isn't everything when it comes to picture quality.
