Anyway, there is extremely strong and compelling evidence that the PS4 can be UHD compatible

edit: also, the hardware is actually barely different at all d: same laser diode..

No amount of Jeff Rigby quoting will transmogrify a PS4 blu-ray drive into an uhd drive. The key hardware element is the lens system which must be different from "normal" blu-ray drives (higher NA or simpler said "rounder lens"). No software patch can change that, ever. As it seems, even the PS4 Pro will have a "normal" blu-ray drive.
