Does 4k Blu-Ray Matter? | |||

I'm glad my PS4 Pro can't play UHD Blu Ray discs. Why would I want my brand new $400 console to play the latest type of media?
Same thing with my new phone. It only makes phone calls. Why would I want to be able to browse the internet with my phone? It's a calling device.

Considering I have seen 0 4k BD discs for sale in Brazil I'll say at least here that would be silliest buying decision (choosing because of the UHD player) at the moment.

Wanted to hear his "what'chu talkin' bout" so I youtubed it..... ended up watching a video of him on a talk show talking about how depressed he was, and how he regreted basically everything he ever did in life. Followed by another video about his death, and how everyone basically robbed him for all he was worth, and how tough a life he lead.
Jebus... wasnt expecting that, thats kinda depressed me.

And so was I. 4k blu ray is super niche, and while in a few years will be slightly less niche it will never take off. 4k blu ray players are expensive and would mean Sony would have to leave an extra $20/30 on the cost of the Pro or take a loss. Same with the slim. And that extra cost will dramatically effect sales on black friday where they were able to undercut the xbox. Great financial decision for Sony and great financial decision for the consumer. The sales speak for themselves. If in 3/4 years the UHD player costs practically the same as regular blu ray then I can see Sony putting one in the ps5. |
Exactly, Sony dictates the market, not the other way aoround.

It does play 4k media. You can stream it. Now if you are talking about the xbox 360 you would have a point. |
Did you not understand? I don't want my Console to support 4K playback via UHD Blu Ray. That's why I bought the Pro. It's a gaming device not a home theater component.
My internet isn't fast enough for 4K streaming and it looks like shit anyway due to compression. Same as YouTube.
Thanks for your input though.

Your first post sounded very sarcastic, so much so that I'm still unsure. xD

That just made me laugh.

Combined with having already made a thread about how he DOESN'T like his his ps4 pro and wanting to trade it in for a slim. Yeah you can see my confusion. Specially the "why would I want my phone to have the internet". I'm just going to add him to my "never talk to him again" list and move on. |
I never said I didn't like the Pro.
I said I was disapointed with it's performance at 2X the cost of the Slim.
I was able to return the one I had and got a new one for $322 at Target yesterday which is a much better price and more in line with what I think it should cost.
I appreciate you puting me on your list, I hate having to explain myself multiple times to people that are just looking to start an argument.
Take care!

2x? When did the Pro cost $599? Or even $499 with BF deals? You're getting over 2x the power for $100 more than the Slim. Damon good deal if you ask me.

Exactly. I think as prices come down, Sony is most likely going to be putting a UHD player in their PS5. Probably going to need it for the extra disc space.
