Quote from: SWORDF1SH on Sep 10, 2016, 01:29 AMIt's a good price. This time last year the PS4 OG was at that price.
But it doesn't play 4k disc, do mods or make me a sandwich!!!!!
Is this where I talk favorably about myself?

lol I love the argument that people are now getting a Xbox One S instead (like they were interested lol) to take full advantage of there 4K TV but for some reason 4K gaming doesn't count, which is even more absurd when these are freaking game consoles. $400 for 4K gaming? Yes please!

That site is in full on meltdown. It's remarkable.

I have been mostly but I must admit it's like driving slowly by a car accident on the side of the rode. 

I thought of making a thread

All the things the ps4 pro left out:
1) Doesn't change baby diapers
2) won't fetch me a beer from the kitchen
3) doesn't transform into a motor vehicle
4) no super model in box
5) doesn't cut the grass on my lawn
6) won't wipe my butt after important business

It's pretty funny how people are up in arms about a niche (Bluray) of a niche (4K Bluray) feature not included in the Pro. Physical media sales have been on the decline while digital media has been taking home more revenue. I'm all for options, but at the same time, why include something that most people don't want?

My favorites are the ones that Sony is forcing to buy extra equipment because it doesn't have a drive.
It doesn't have a lot of things I want in life.
It's like continuing to repeat something that is pointless.  It has what features it has.  Make a choice based on that and move on.

Some people! So are MS forcing you to buy a Pro for 4K gaming since Xbox can't do it?

Yeah, I thought it was weird at first not to include it but obviously they know something.
I bought tons of dvd's but not blu ray because now I just stream.  Why would I buy 4k collection when 8k will pop up in a few years and make it obsolete.

It's very weird logic indeed.

Yeah, my family has a lot of DVDs. While my parents bought two Bluray players, the Bluray library is nowhere near as big and now, they just use Amazon Video via Roku. It's a way cheaper option.

Of course, the limiting factor will be people's connection speeds. Here in Connecticut, the Internet provider options absolutely suck with the poorly executed town-exclusive services. For instance, you can only get Comcast in Danbury while you can only get Charter in Newtown. Frontier is the only one that is available for the entire state, but its price/speed ratio is bad. I really hope Google Fiber takes off like a rocket soon...

Very true, but it makes me wonder if they're not looking at some data we are unware of that indicates it's not worthwhile to include the drive.

I don't doubt alot of people do but they have to be looking at some data that suggests low enough useage on their machines that price point was more important.
Maybe they cut a deal with Netflix or maybe they're releasing their own 4k movie option we are unaware of for streaming.

Sony is surely releasing their own option for digitally buying and downloading 4K movies and they've said that they are looking into bringing 4K movies to PS store as well, but that they don't have faith in the 4K bluray format is obvious by the fact that the company as a whole doesn't have a 4K bluray player on the market.
