When did you EVER buy a 4K Blu-ray Film?

Here's a dirty little secret -- streamed movies are considerably lower image quality than disc titles.

So what's the point of having a 4KTV if the movies you're watching basically are really just like a 1080P transfer because the bit rate simply isn't good enough.

That's the issue. If I buy a 4KTV it's not fucking crazy to want actual 4K content to view on it, otherwise you may as well just stick with a HDTV set.

Also your poll is out of whack, a 4K BR player only costs about $15 more than a regular Blu-Ray player to mass produce. 

If it cost $100 more there's no chance in hell it would be in the cheap XBox One S. 

Then why are 4K blu-ray players so damn expensive?

Because it's the typical price gouging electronics manufacturers always make consumers go through (ie: DVD was $1000 at launch, Blu-Ray was $600+, etc.).

The drive itself is only like $15 bucks more. Ask yourself how Microsoft is able to put it in the XBox One S with basically no price increase. It's because the drive doesn't cost much.
