Andrew House confirmed in today's meeting that all PS4 models -- going back to the 2013 launch models -- will have HDR capability added via firmware. No mention of UHD for the launch PS4 or the Slim model (which is coming by Sept. 15th in most markets).
The PS4 Pro (formerly nicknamed Neo) is confirmed to support UHD streaming, with Netflix and YouTube specifically highlighted. Ultra HD Blu-ray was not discussed, although that might be clarified during the hands-on. The Pro is coming November 10th for $399.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
If anything this announcement proves Jeff WAS wrong. If they were gonna patch UHD BR they would have pimped that with HDR support.

UHD=4K+HDR+REC 2020
So still no but he may change the thread title again and a few weird post later claim he was right though.
But yeah, it's still a nice feature. And still Rigby was sort of onto something trying to prove they could make a firmware update to improve visual quality on PS4.

I'm thinking half the people that bumped this thread did it for the lulz and to just read more pages of back and forth.
I mean hey, Jeff still has till the end of the year for his bet with.... whoever it was on.
But yeah, DESPITE the announcement of HDR, it's even less likely now if they weren't going to pimp that out during the event. Why confirm one but not the other? The dream is dead Jeff. It's time to hang it up.
Ha.
Hahahahaha.
What?
Like..... no that can't be true.

This is possible that early PS4s only have a HDMI 2.0a port which was one of the three parts needed for UHD blu-ray and one of two needed to be UHD capable.
There was NO mention of UHD Blu-ray support on any console even the PS4 Pro. This was also something I predicted for the Meeting. We have to wait for the firmware update.
And Yes I did predict the Launch PS4 had a HDMI 2 port and did backpedal and state that they could support HDR for 1080P games with that port.
PS4 with HDMI 2 port.

The amount of technical ignorance in here is fantastic. Just more proof a lot of folks on GAF should stay far the hell away from tech discussion.
LOL why the fuck not? It's their own format and Microsoft beat them to it.

This makes me think the Pro isn't a UHD player. Why on Earth would they pimp Netflix and Youtube 4K but not even mention UHD BD? I can't believe the Pro isn't UHD but it seems likely unless they just forgot to mention it for some reason.
UHDR, man.
Oh man...
I didn't expect OG, but not even the Pro?
Not really getting why people are saying dude was right. Is this some kind of inside joke thing that happens?
Sony plays a wild card, wow
I didn't say otherwise. What I did say is that House confirming retroactive HDR support but saying nothing of retroactive support for 4K content more or less confirms that UHD BD support isn't happening. HDR and 4K were the two pillars of the presentation -- if the PS4 were going to be updated to support 4K content natively, it stands to reason that this would have been mentioned.
To be clear, this isn't me yanking on your leash in an attempt to have you honour your end of the charity bet ahead of the clock hitting zero. I'm fine with letting the hourglass run its course, even if Sony categorically rules out UHD BD support for the PS4 in the interim.
