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

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. 

So basically they'll be really cheap in a year.  So when people say the scorpio will save them spending $300 on a standalone player it's a ridiculous statement.  

 

Yeah I kinda would like to watch 4K content now though if I have a 4KTV now. Not sitting around for a year and watching 1080p or shitty stream content for a year and trying to imagine how good it would look like in actual 4K with a good bit rate. 

And even "cheap in a year" still means probably like $200+ for a decent player. 

The XBox One S is the best 4K Blu-Ray player for the price, which is kind of lame. It means if you have a 4KTV and you want to watch 4K movies on your TV, really your best option is to buy an XBox One now as well, on top of getting a PS4/Neo.
