MKV when used correctly is just a container, you can have a loss-less backup of a bluray in the MKV format.
So your point is moot.
I have to say, while it's a bit off topic, but since getting my nice big smart 3D television and my surround sound and amp, the quality of Blu Rays is incredible and easily worth the money, after seeing this I can't understand why people download things to use on their systems, the drop in quality isn't worth it.
The quality of my Blu ray rips with menus etc...are just the same quality as the Blu ray themselves. However I don't have to psychically handle my disks.
I can stream them over the network from my server with no quality loss and have XBMC electronically sort them with Art.
It would be nice to have the option to do this with the PS4
Dude, you have OCD. They're just discs. And Blu-ray is quite durable.
No I'm lazy...I like my technology to sort and store my media. Dusty disk cases are a PITA.
And getting up everytime to play a disk is a PITA in intself.

No we didn't.
We saw a tech demo from Capcom, a tech demo of a head from Quantic Dream, a CGI video of infamous, a suspicious looking killzone "live demo", Watchdog running on a pc and were told "A new final fantasy is going to be put into development shortly"... lol.

Pople who put films into MKV don't compress anything. It's identical to the original bluray.
. Genius.I don't back them up as I'm afraid of damaging them...I back them up for convenience.
Just like poeple back up their CD collection to their players so they don't have faff with CD's
All my Blu-rays are backed up as MKV rips onto my home server. The kids like to get the discs out and look at the boxes but I prefer to just click and play.
It would be nice if the new consoles could play these over the network.

Can't the PS3 already do that if you install the PS3 Media Server onto said computer that has the files? Or is it not capable of streaming MKV?
Yes but the PS3 does not play them natively. And transcode on the fly is going on on the server in real-time in order for the PS3 to play them,
Its a buggy PITA resource hungry faff.
I have no idea tbh did not think it could so have not tried. Be marvelous if it can play a 1:1 rip of a blu-ray.
GTA4 was released 5 years ago.
GTA5 has probably already been several years in the development, and when they started out the next gen consoles were probably a long way off and they probably thought GTA5 would be released a lot further away from the new consoles release.
years later, it becomes apparent GTA5 is going to release 6 months before the next gen, but by this point the game is already past the point of no return making it impossible to write the game specifically for the next gen consoles. GTA5 release date has already publicly slipped once, so its obvious its taking them longer to develop than they thought.
Ah, that does sound like a bit of a hassle just to watch a film over the network. Can imagine it'd be a great addition for the next console if you're using it for that kind of stuff
I've only ever tried streaming the more common video types from my PC so it's a little out of my league (though it works tremendously well for that kind of stuff).
