This is all common sense yet people still pretend that X1 is in some kind of equal race with PS4.

Depends on whether it's a sprint or a marathon. The Scorpio can't run the former, but I am pretty sure it will be able to run the latter while snoring... 

The marathon is already on and PS4 is half of the way already ahead. If Xbox can't sprint it already lost.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

No sane person with a 4K TV would buy a PS4 now. Sony really screwed up.

You do realize you can play the games in 4k, along with streaming them? Like Youtube and Netflix? You are literally just missing out on physical 4Ks dvd?

The best quality 4K content still comes from physical media. PS owners are basically missing out.

Wii U/Wii never had ethernet ports. Did it work to play online? Yes. Was it the best option out there? No way.



Bandorr said:

Yet your comparison would be that people never buy a Wii/Wii U because they were missing out using an ethernet cord.

That is just insane. Because you miss out on "the best option" you think people should completely skip over it in the first place?

Ok maybe that was a bad example but we're talking about premium models here. Gaming aside, there's people out there that spent hundreds on their TV sets and when they find out what the superior choice is they will never pick a subpar media player.

I will be waiting for Scorpio.

Scorpio seems to be a new generation console, PS4 Pro is just like a PS4.5

A PS4.5 is exactky what the PS4pro is designed and intended to be. 

Anyways OT....

I don't know why or how anyone would think there is still some sort of contest between the PS4 and XB1. 

Coming a year later, at a higher price than whatever the pro would cost at the time is all just too much.

And let's not forget that by the fall of next year there could very well be almost 70M PS4s out there. I don't think people realize how important that is. And what if Sony decided to drop the price of the Pro to $299 to coincide with the launch of a potentially $500 Scorpio? I will like to see how MS will matket "tru 4k" to the general comsumer faced between payi g $299 for 4k and paying $499 for it.

Really? I read some reviews where they said the UHD quailty were some of the best there is? I can see the review you are reading so I can see what the issues are?

I am thinking to go with this one for our TV:

http://www.samsung.com/us/televisions-home-theater/tvs/4k-suhd-tvs/55-class-ks8000-8-series-4k-suhd-tv-2016-model-un55ks8000fxza/

Here are a few reviews:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/138586-xbox-one-s-4k-ultra-hd-blu-ray-and-hdr-examined-in-more-detail

http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2016/08/psa-the-xbox-one-s-is-the-cheapest-4k-blu-ray-player-you-can-buy-in-australia-right-now/

As Bang For your buck goes, it is the best option, but it is not the best option for playback quality. As you can see in all the reviews It comes down to, it is an awesome player, FOR THE PRICE.

 

The TV you are planning on getting is not bad but it is Edge-lit which in dark scenes will have a lot of light bleed in movies. This will be even more noticable in scenese that use HDR. If you want the best out of 4K you will want Array-lit LED (or micro-dimming...many names for this tech), or OLED. To get this you will need to spend at least another $600 on your TV.

So if you don't want to wait for 6 months or so for a dedicated 4K player and pay an additiaonl $600 on your TV then you will be more than happy with the 1S and TV combo you selected.

However, the TV should last you a good 7 years before it's tech get's old and depending on how many movies you watch and games you play, it may be worth the extra cash.

Yea but none of them really say that the image quailty is bad or anything. Infact, most of them say that the image quailty is stunning... So idk where you got that from? Yea they say its the cheapest but they don't say that the image quality is bad...

From your first link's review:

"The console shows off the advantages of 4K: remarkable clarity, minute details and lifelike textures. I could make out the consistency of the motor oil Charlize Theron smears across her face as war paint.

You also get a noticeably higher dynamic range. It isn't just about fierce bright areas and inky blacks: the fine increments between are subtly drawn too, and you get plenty of shadow detail. You also get the wider colour gamut that HDR promises. There's a part in Mad Max: Fury Road where somebody gets shot with a flare gun. When the reddish-orange smoke explodes, it's hard not to marvel."

From your second link:

"On the Xbox One S you get the full Ultra HD and HDR experience. The visuals from those top-spec TVs are stunning. Sure the top spec Panasonic UHD Blu-ray player might just edge things out in terms of absolute picture quality, but as so much is governed by the performance of the TV it's attached to, we think most will find themselves entranced by the richness and detail that Ultra HD Blu-ray offers from the Xbox One S."

And the third one just says its a great value and doesn't really say anything about the quality. Yea they are saying that the Panasonic one is better but it only "Edges" out which isn't exactly saying that the X1 Slim is bad...

The TVs that I have looked at, the Samsung one seems to review one of the highest. So which TV do you suggest I get?

Sorry about the late reply btw, I was driving T_T

The average person doesn't buy BRs let alone 4K ones. The are film enthusiasts out there that like buying films, but they will still have the BR option.

Maybe Sony will patch the system with a 4K upscaler for movies.



Was going to get a PS4 Neo/Pro, now I'm unsure.

Will have to get a XBox One S because it's the most economical 4K Blu-Ray player, thinking at this point I should just cash out of the Sony ecosystem, and then upgrade to a Scorpio down the line. I love the new XBox One controller so I guess switching isn't all bad. 

Wasn't planning at all to be in the XBox ecosystem, but now everything's been flipped upside down for me.

So you think the difference between the "physical" media and the digital media is so vast - that people should pass up a VIDEO GAME console for it?

That how "physical media" looks in comparison is so important that it should be the most important thing when dealing with a video game console? People should pass up on all ps4s, their exclusives, vr, etc - because the look of the media is different between digital and physical?

And I agree people won't choose a "subpar media player." People aren't going to spend a ton of money on a 4K TV - then bargain shop for the cheapest 4K player.... which is why including a 4k player in the ps4 would have done nothing.

If people are going to go premium TV - they will want a premium player, not the cheapest one they can find.

As a TV salesman, I can confirm that they actually do. They come in planning to blow their whole load on the best TV they can afford, and then have no idea how to get the content. It's a good thing most 4K TVs support external storage. You can literally just download everything into an external harddrive and run it straight into the TV via USB 3.0
