So you are ok with passing the cost of the converter to the gamer.....isnt that anti gamer practice and destroys for the gamers thing that Sony is bragging about all the time?

 

On a second note: how would I able to connect my PS4 to my surround system without a converter? I only have one HDMI port in my surround system and it is connected to TV?

You reslly need to drop this thing. Let's be honest here..... if sony can come in at $250 or a little more and it's all because they made little cuts like these, they will be doing more "for the gamers" than if they still put in a port that a very niche group of people still use. And as it's been shown, there are options. And it's simple; you want your optical port, buy the more expensive PS4. You want the cheaper one? then you should be ok that certain things were some to make it cheaper. It's not rocket science. You want one that has 4k buy the premium one. Or you know what? just buy an XB1and save us all the trouble. 

We are trying to have some civilized discussion here, no need to brush off.  At least, the SB1 S has an optical output for sake of not getting people electronics "bought only within a few years"  obsolete.
