I assume that all the Sony hardcore going to throw their consoles out the window when the 4.5 can play the games at a higher resolution?!

True

I suspect games will still be running at 1080p/30, just with shiny gfx! Too many developers seem to think that's ok.

First we had remastered games now we have remastered consoles.

following the trends, wait till theres a modular console you can just bolt bits on to. Oh the potential profit to be made.

That's actually quite an attractive proposition - potential pc like performance with the convenience and efficiency of a console. And we'd know about it up front and what to expect. The PS4.5 is a **** in the ass tho!

Another leak saying the gpu is going to be 2x more powerful and the CPU will be a significant upgrade, so, they have split the user base, as well as some VR stuff.

I wonder how much Sony will rob us for the new Sony 4.5 :mad:

Will be pricey if the rumours of including a 4k bluray player is true. A standalone player is around £500+ at the moment. A good way to obtain one though if it does end up being reasonably priced. My first bluray player was a PS3!

Rob? Surely it is a choice, no?

£349-£399 I should think (if they want to sell it). Possibly more like £499 depending on the 4K player as they are quite expensive right now. PS4K Ultra Edition.

Shame I never had any discs end of 2007. Shame 4K doesn't excite me as it did with HD.

It is a shame, 4k is well worth the upgrade. 1080p is pretty poor in comparison now.

Maybe Sony should have started selling the PS4 with 4K player to push 4K sales , saying that it was a little early back in 2013

I don't understand the reason for this console, I was under the impression that the PS4 could always play 4K video content. So is this just the potential inclusion of a 4K drive for physical media? I don't see how it needs to be any more powerful for that.

Wasn't the 4K spec just finalised late last year?

1080P OLED > 4K LCD

no it isn't

4k netflix is no better and actually worse than 1080p blu ray.

no chance.

4k tv's are a waste atm. unless you can afford the decent models which are £2000+. if you can then you can afford to spend £500 on a player and £30 a movie so no need to use a console to play them on.

Who mentioned netflix??
I've seen you complain about 4k before. You're like a Ford Fiesta driver going on to a Porsche forum to tell them how crap their cars are. Behave yourself! :rolleyes:

He started a whole thread to say the same, shame most people already know this, yet 4K bluray blows 1080p out of the water, but he fails to mention that.

"In layman’s terms, 4K resolution is around twice the pixel size of 1080p"

Wrong!

I read that, facepalmed, and walk out of the thread earlier too.

Clearly my "cheap" 4K TV didn't get the memo that it was crap....

I will send it to the naughty step immediately...

sityeuropa · 1 Apr 2016 at 10:18

I would buy an updated PS4. Get some money for my original one.

The amount of time I've spent on it I've definitely had my moneys worth.

TheHitMan-1973 · 1 Apr 2016 at 11:21

Think i will be buying a stand alone blu ray player thinking about it
