Sony: 4K Movies on PS4... 100GB+ Download Files

Thing is, YOU didn't have to buy it when it launched. And a lot of people didn't buy it initially. They took a risk and it backfired with the pricing. But for you to act like the shyt wasn't the complete package from a hardware standpoint when it dropped is just flat out hating.

You're looking at this narrow minded.

Sony put out a quality device that didn't need hardware revisions to keep up with the times. It actually stripped features to cut the cost down.

MS had to come out with how many different designs/versions of the 360 just to offer what was expected.

Am I lying though?

It was a complete package and a waste of money for most people. Which is why most people didn't buy it until the tech was relevant and the price was reduced

The only thing Xbox added was hdmi support. At the time when Xbox came out most HDTV's didn't have hdmi inputs. And most people didn't even have HDTV's I'm still using my tv that has no hdmi ports, as are a lot of people who purchased TV's around the time of the Xbox launch. Saving money by omitting those ports on the Xbox was a good thing because most users didn't need them.

This dynamic is exactly why ps3 struggled this generation and it looks like Sony is heading down the same road.

I'm just saying as far as fanboy wars are concerned. It's funny that wasting money on non-gaming is a good thing for Sony but a bad thing for Microsoft.

the new codecs they made for 4K should lower that number

4K is mostly only going to be for a few people like the ones with expensive home theaters and the rich. I don't normal people even have the room to fit a 4k tv in there house and, much less, apartment.

It still works and my games look good. Point is this "future proof" angle your trying to push is irrelevant if the tech doesn't become commonplace within the life of the console.

yea saving money not using HDMI ports was a great idea

That's why they scrambled to put them in 1-2 years later. I bought a LCD tv right around when I got 360 near its launch and it had an HDMI port. It was not some super expensive early adopter model either. So you cant say HDMI was too new to be included yet, it was clearly the very near future standard

people still use/buy more dvd's than blu-ray

More homes still have wired connections than wireless.

shyt kills me man.

PS3's hardware was just complete across the board. I don't understand how you can hate on Sony doing what the did with it. You can hate on them not being up to par software wise and game wise from the jump, but they put out a dope console/device that had a shyt load of functionality.

They also let people put in their own HDDs

Was it not? Xbox went from last to first mainly because of its pricing.

In 2005 when Xbox came out not even a fourth of American households had HDTV's. would it have been a smart business move to make 75% of your customers pay for something only 25% could use?

Never denied that it was a "dope device" I just said at the time when it came out most of that "dopeness" was unusable by most of the country.

It would have been smart so those same customers didnt have to go out and buy a new 360 when they got their HDTV 1-3 years later. How much would an HDMI output have really cost to put on the 360 from day 1? It would have been optional anyway. You arent using HDMI right now but wouldnt you rather have the option than not? It wasnt distant future technology. HDTV's in 2005 had them.

It's not like those features weren't even accessible across most of the country. Like you couldn't walk into any store and get an HDTV if you didn't already own one. Or a wireless router. Or a blu ray movie. Or a flash drive.

You try too hard to hate when you really should just try harder to hold back on the senseless hating and shutting the fukk up, as you're sounding really moronic right now.
