Sony PlayStation 4 Pro - STUFF

Quote: The missing 4K Blu-ray drive means the PS4 Pro isn’t a perfect 4K entertainment system, but if you’re already a streaming convert, you just won’t care.

All of which makes the PS4 Pro a great mid-cycle upgrade for the PlayStation 4, and one that crucially doesn’t leave anyone behind. For now, you can stick with what you have, and when you’re ready to make the 4K investment, you can also upgrade your PS4.

I have read recently that the difference between Blu-ray and 4K Blu-ray is negligible due to really good upscaling on good 4K TVs? Can't say if it's true but if so seems 4K Blu-ray may not gain much traction?

robtion3480d ago

Me either. Just bought a 4K HDR tv myself and did a lot of research first and that is one of the things I came across. As I said not sure if it's true as I have not seen a 4K Blu-ray yet. I can say the upscaling is very good though. Even low quality streaming looks great.

Errorist763480d ago

The reason is there is hardly any true 4K media anyway...most of this stuff is only upscaled sub-UHD material atm. Will take a few years and TV sales to catch up.

You will need a decent 4K blu ray player to achieve the results wanted when watching.

TankCrossing3480d ago

There are no bad 4k blu-ray players on the market afaik.

mike32UK3480d ago

Hmmmm Ive had my pro preordered on Amazon for a while now, but the omission of a 4k bluray drive is some bullllllllllllsh1t. That makes a 9/10 in my book

WickedLester3479d ago

Stats show that way more consumers are streaming 4k content than playing it on physical disks. The 4K drive was omitted to keep costs down.

mike32UK3479d ago

Yeah I get that, I stream 4K on both Netflix and Amazon Prime HOWEVER let's not pretend the quality of 4k streaming is the same as 4K Bluray. It would have been nice for it to be Included. Just got my pro now and just setting it up!

WickedLester3479d ago

@mike

Most consumers won't care. If the quality of 4K streaming is as close to 4K Blu ray as 1080p streaming is to 1080p Blu ray, most people won't know the difference. Hell some people still claim they don't see a big difference between DVD and Blu ray.

mike32UK3479d ago

Yeah man agree with what you're saying I'm not Trying to speak for the whole market, just myself :)

Gamist2dot03480d ago

Wow, another perfect rating. Welp, that will be my face (cover photo) come Thursday when I get mine. :)

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing21d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit21d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing21d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9221d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
