I see no reason for Sony to willfully negate to include an UHD player at all. The cost is insignificant considering the is a standard blu ray drive in it already and they went to the added expense of adding an additional USB port in the rear and keeping the light bar/strip and optical port(whilst absent in the Slim possibly due to space limitations). Sony were all over DVD for the PS2 and all over Blu Ray for the PS3 and it's not like they cheaped out on the OG PS4 with expensive capacitive buttons(later revised to physical) a light bar and Sony themed screws for the internal hard drive tray.

I guess we will see. I'm very interested to know if it is possible or not because I've read articles from years back that stated there were these crazy 4 layer prototype discs being tested and how you didn't need anything necessary to read the extra layers except a driver update. What was really a lot more surprising for me is that they can patch in HDR. TBone was right, and he basically just proved 90% of GAF wrong. It's fucking great 

The HDR update is surreal... Were they hiding it all these years or was it a recent discovery? I did read that there were 100GB blu ray disks being tested years ago, even bigger than 100GB.

It depends on what drive is in the PS4 Pro and what it is capable of. Alot of drives cover multiple blu ray mediums....

Will have to wait for a proper Pro/Slim tear down and inspection of the blu ray drive. Does the Slim have HDMI 2.0??
