And the Saga Continues - PS4 Pro Lack of 4K Blu-ray.

[JRPGfan]

Making up numbers is fun, kids!
Seriously, figures like $25 difference just aren't supportable.  Some have pegged it at $15 I believe,
although IMHO it can very well be much less, more like <$5, especially if codec/copyprotection licencing is not covered.
(Sony could make the UHD-BD player software a purchasable down-load, so only those interested need to pay licence fee)

Except Im not makeing them up.

Watch the video I linked. Michael pachter says them in the video (he either made them up, or knows them).

Hes talked directly to sony about this very issue. 

Thats why I mentioned the 10% of market has 4k, and only a few % of those 10%, use their 4k blu-ray drives.

Sony isnt forceing the cost of the 4k blu-ray drive onto consumers, that wont be useing it.

Its done to save money, and allow the PS4pro to have the price point it does.
