I dont get all the dissapointment from alot of you guys, physical films are dying... I havent bought a regular blu-ray film in years, and I hardly see any 4K blu-ray movies for sale. Streaming movies is the future, Netflix 4K first, and other who still havent upgraded will follow soon, and Sony knows it. 

4K Bluray, never. If I owned a 4K bluray player though I'd buy them all the time.

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. 

I own about 10 blu rays. Haven't bought one in at least 4 years. I will never buy a 4k blu ray. I stream my films and TV series now.

I'm delighted they didn't put it in. Why waste time pushing a medium that will never take off when it adds extra cost. The ps pro can still play regular blu rays and a 4k TV can upscale it with impressive results. That's more than enough. But even still can't see myself ever buying a regular blu ray again.

Yea, someone did an article for the One S, and it costs microsoft $15.50 or something more to put in a 4k drive instead of blu ray. It's like 4k costs $33 and blu ray $18 or something per console.

Sony should be cheaper than that, due to them owning part blu ray right?

But lets say it's the same and it's $15.50.  Okay, know what neat. PS+ was just raised by $10 a year. Seems like the basically covered their costs right there. 

For me personally I would happily pay the extra $100 for a 4K bluray player. I understand the decision because the market is small but for those with high end 4K tv's the picture quality between streaming 4k content on Netflix/amazon etc and a 4K disc is very noticeable. On top of that for those with a good speaker system the sound on the 4K disc are also a lot better experience then what you get with streaming.

Shhhhh just let them.. they have to complain about something..

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

I buy and collect all the Marvel and DC movies in the best quality physical release available. I was looking forward to upgrading my PS4 to the PS4 Pro with the 4k player assumption as a nice little bonus that meant I didn't need to also upgrade my XB1. Instead, it looks like I will be upgrading both if it does indeed turn out to be that the PS4 Pro doesn't have the 4k player in it. Has it actually be confirmed that it isn't there or is it just conspicuous by the absence in the presentation?

Editing in my answer to the poll: I would rather pay the extra 100, which is already pointed out as unrealistic, to not have to upgrade both consoles as I may have to now to get what I want out of it all.

Exactly!

And even Netflix, which is single handedly the biggest movie distributor, is now streaming in 4K.
