[Kenzodielocke]

Piss poor decision.

 

[Cmerrill]

Wtf? There goes that fucking sale.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

This is a pretty ridiculous oversight especially with a $299 XB1 S that can do it right now.

 

[AXE]

What

Oh man, I'm kinda laughing here. And I shouldn't, as this is sad as frak.

 

[Ephemeris]

... but why?

 

[cyberheater]

Yes but netflix and youtube will release apps that offer 4K content so that's okay.

 

[Interfectum]

wut

 

[yoonshik]

I think I need more evidence.

 

[nero2082]

I refuse to believe it

 

[Zomba13]

lol. I assumed they didn't mention it because it was obvious that it would because they are pushing 4K hard. It's laughable that they decided not to bother with the ability to play 4K blu-rays.

 

[Waveset]

StuffTV?

 

[funkystudent]

Huh, Seems too dumb to be true

 

[spookyfish]

Well, I'll probably buy a UHD player before the Pro, then.

 

[brickarts295]

I don't believe this. These are the people who put a BluRay on PS3 launch.

 

[SgtCobra]

Gotta sell those Vue subscriptions and keep Netflix happy.
Horrible descicion.

 

[lucablight]

What the fuck? Guess I'll have to buy an Xbox console after all then.

 

[Xando]

Haha fuck off with that 400€ pricetag sony

 

[ScherzoPrime]

Yes but netflix and youtube will release apps that offer 4K content so that's okay.

This is a joke right? Do you know what compression does to image quality?

 

[rjcc]

StuffTV?

Our guys there asked and confirmed it also, it's legit. https://twitter.com/rjcc/statuses/773613020283035648

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Wait.....XB1 S plays them, right?

Why doesn't Sony's latest device play the latest version of a format they helped create?

 

[GHG]

That would be pretty stupid if true.

Can't say I'd care though to be honest.

 

[DeathSparks]

Nope not buying this console

 

[Guymelef]

Pro has a good price but they are going to justify this.

 

[Stiler]

Focus all their talk about 4k this and 4k that and then don't allow 4k blu ray playback....makes no bloody sense!

 

[ChimpBottle]

Good thing I saw this thread before I posted in the "Are you going to buy the PS4 Pro" one

 

[darkwing]

lol what a major blunder

 

[RoKKeR]

There's no way this is true, they aren't that daft... right?

 

[Dsyndrome]

What the fuck? Why would you do that, Sony?

 

[SoulUnison]

Yes but netflix and youtube will release apps that offer 4K content so that's okay.

What an appropriate tag you have.

 

[RedAssedApe]

receipts?

 

[ViciousDS]

Wait.....XB1 S plays them, right?

Why doesn't Sony's latest device not play the latest version of a format they helped create?

dear god microsoft has something to roll with for nearly 3 fucking years minimum.

This was absolutely a stupid decision.

 

[Joqu]

I didnt think jeff rigby would be THIS wrong

but seriously, WTF? This completely kills my interest if true

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

No fucking way

 

[Gemüsepizza]

Embarrassing.

 

[n0razi]

Is this something a software update could add or is it a hardware thing?

 

[Dictator93]

I guess that means it does not have the physical drive?

Bizarre product, the pro is...

 

[Sorcerer]

Don't worry guys, word on the street is that Sony will release a new Playstion model after E3 with an additional two layers and that will play 4K Bluray.
6 layer PlayStation.

 

[5amshift]

Honest dealbreaker for a toooon of people. Hilariously dumb decision.

 

[stryke]

That's fucked up

 

[Proelite]

Sony trolling Jeff Rigby.

 

[Gamezone]

Probably did it to save a few bucks.

 

[Litri]

This... makes... no sense.

 

[Vinc]

That is very funny.

Not buying it.

 

[BotoxAgent]

if their goal is to promote sony 4k tvs, why would they fuckin leave this out!?

 

[Big Green Anus]

Can Sony release a firmware update to have 4k blu ray?

 

[Tainted]

PS4 Amateur

 

[gossi]

Wait Jeff was wrong? ROLLERCOASTER

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

No fucking way.

No.

Fucking.

Way.


Potentially the dumbest decision they've made with the pro.

 

[The Strokes]

No way this is true. I mean, come on, no way.
