Forums - Sony - Michael Pachter Thinks Lack Of 4K Blu-ray Not Important For PS4 Pro

CosmicSex on 31 October 2016

You know, I felt a certain way about going from DVD to BluRay. But I will not be buying my movies over again. I bought 1 movie on Disc in the last 2 years. I want better streaming options. Better internet, but I don't want another new disc format. Sorry to Microsoft and Sony who are both pushing this in different ways. Upscaling is fine.

Maybe not right now, but It'll be important when it costs $10 to rent a 4k film digitally vs $4 from Redbox. Seriously, even right now, you can BUY a lot of BR movies used for within a dollar of their digital rental price. How in hell is digital a good alternative with their ridiculous asking prices?

rofl.. Redbox? that company closed down because no one was using it any more. Too funny... 

 

(Actually, it didnt close down, but it sold itself) 

I don't know anything about that. I know they made the mistake of trying to get into streaming, which was a colossal failure, and may have crippled their company.  Where Iive redboxes are still in front of every store, i.e. constantly available and significantly less expensive than the digital alternative. If Redbox goes out of business, then I will have to switch to Netflix, if Netflix drops their mail-in service, then I'll have to start watching movies in theatres, which, if you wait long enough, is still cheaper than digital.

I do agree that so far it seems like unnecessary

worse part is the artifacts and the hit on the band cap.

I believe we stablished long ago that Patcher have two states, completely wrong or completely obvious. In this case we are more inclined to the obvious, but with jinxing capacity.

Just look at this thread, he's joined the no physical 4K apologists gang.

And yet, considering he provided concrete data that does not depend on his character, agreement is with the data, his character untouched.

Pachter has two modes - "no shit, Sherlock" and "what drugs you on now?" This statement should be the former, but console warriors need to fight about something.
