Support NeoGAF

[Gowans]

Didn't see this in the conf?

I'm not in on a PS4 get this with a VR bundle might get me.

 

[StoopKid]

Sony fucked up if not.

 

[Toki767]

Nope

 

[Patryn]

Nope!

[warheat]

pretty sure it does even though they never said it in the conf

 

[Eolz]

Apparently not, and that's hilariously sad.

 

[Nibel]

pretty sure it does even though they never said it in the conf

Why are you pretty sure if they haven't mentioned it

 

[teiresias]

Haha, this is utterly ridiculous. Great going Sony, what a worthless upgrade.

 

[BumRush]

We need Sony confirmation. It would be absolutely absurd to not include that.

 

[a Master Ninja]

I can't believe that Microsoft is providing a better Blu-ray player. It's too crazy for Sony to leave that out.

 

[Gamezone]

Terrible. Games are getting so huge. One day or another these consoles have to support UHD for physical media.

 

[Neander]

pretty sure it does even though they never said it in the conf

It doesn't.

 

[Westonian]

No!?! How in the flippity frack does Sony screw that up?

 

[Vashetti]

Nope!

[Trago]

I need further clarification.

 

[Krakatoa]

WTF, I guess they are saving it for the PS5.

Unbelievable if true.

Spoiler

It's really true isn't it??

 

[RoboPlato]

I really hope Sony says that it's coming post launch in a firmware update or something. I'm genuinely upset about his since I want the console but a big part of the reason was because I was expecting UHD blu-ray capability.

 

[killroy87]

That's....so weird. Maybe they're looking at 4K blu-ray sales and making an educated guess as to how long they'll actually be around.

They're probably right.

Are they reliable?

 

[ElFly]

sad!

 

[wesleyshark]

Holy shit. How. It's a 4k console. How..... Hahaha

 

[Guess Who]

lmfaoooooo

 

[Simply Sami]

What the hell?

How can Sony not support this and Microsoft can.

 

[Dictator93]

That is quite honestly "wut" levels there.

 

[Stinkles]

Maybe Cerny is just trolling Rigby?


This has GOT to be an error right? I mean Sony's on the Blu ray board.

 

[Broadbandito]

waiting for clarification

 

[Hawk269]

Let's wait a little bit before jumping off the deep end. Rememeber when MS announced the Xbox One S, it was not clear until a few hours after the Conference that it indeed had a UHD player in it. They also talking about 4k Streaming and such, but not until after was it confirmed to also have the UHD player.

The only reason I can see Sony not doing this is they are banking on streaming 4k content and to keep costs as low as possible.

 

[georly]

This has to be a mistake. Press talked to an uninformed pr person (or they misunderstood the question.)

I can't fathom it not supporting it.

 

[disco potato]

What the actual **** are they thinking?

 

[Elitist1945]

So it doesn't? Who goes to buy a console that has HDR and 4K capabilities if they can't put in a 4K disc to watch on their 4K TV?

 

[x-Lundz-x]

WOW no 4K bluray player? WHAT THE FUCK

 

[purseowner]

You had one job, Sony. So disappointed. Don't know if I want it now thanks to this and the HDR for all.

 

[Lilalaunebaer]

IT´S EVEN THEIR OWN FORMAT

I CAN´T

 

[nero2082]

What do you mean no?

that would be a fuckup of the century

 

[aggienader]

wait...what?

 

[Occam]

It really can't? Unbelievable, wasn't that the whole point???

 

[iTehDroiD]

Are you kidding me?

 

[jfoul]

I was wondering why they went out of their way to bring up 4K streaming apps, but not mention 4K UHD Bluray.

 

[squallheart]

Wait what now I have to think about it. Guess I'll buy a Samsung 4k player. No i dont want an Xbox s. I'll play those games on pc.

 

[BigEmil]

Maybe through an update??

They done a HDR update for OG PS4 so it's possible

 

[kuroneko0509]

Are they reliable?

their staff is at the meeting. seems they asked for the confirmation based on its previous tweet

 

[Kayant]

Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool how can they fuck this up if that tweet is true.

So support 4K streaming/gaming content but not movies...Wut.

 

[Yasir]

Hahaha hahaha omg. This is the dumbest thing Sony has done in long while.

As in it instantly secured a One S order from me.

Plain stupid.

 

[teiresias]

The Pro is only $100 more than the Slim, it wouldn't surprise me if they cut 4K BRD to meet that price point.

Frankly, I'd rather keep my regular PS4 and buy an actual 4K Blu-Ray player now. Sale lost, Sony, good going!

 

[Callibretto]

does uhd bluray need specific hardware or is it just software issue?

 

[Bright-Light]

This is a huge dissapointmemt. I assume they wanted to keep the price below 400. But I would have preffered a $500 price tag with a uhd player.

 

[Minions]

Canceled my preorder lol... why would you make that decision?
