Does anyone know whether the device is physically incapable of playing 4k Blu-Rays? Is there some scope for a software update if they agree to pay the licensing fees?

I think this will have a marginal effect on sales of the console.

But it certainly gives me pause. I want one device under my TV. Right now thats a PS4. I have access to an Xbox One at my brother's place down the road.

I was considering an upgrade to the Xbox One S.

My challenge is now this. I will be a day one Mass Effect player. The best version at this stage is likely to be a PS4 Pro. But it seems nonsensical to purchase a new device, touted as premium, that doesn't play the new format of media. I would literally be purchasing a playback device that doesn't use my television's features.

So am I better off waiting for Scorpio?

Decisions, decisions.

After long deliberation, I asked myself: "When was the last time you watched a physical media disc? Rental or otherwise?"

 

And you know what? I can't remember. It's been ages since I opened up a jewel case for a movie. So what this is coming down to for me is this:

 

"Will this support 4K Vudu?"
