1 TB PS4 Slim Finally Coming To US

@7tizz: I take critiques all the time and apologize when I'm wrong on a subject. I mean, I could copy and paste some of your comments but that's a waste of time. I've actually stuck up for you on several occasions when people called you out. But I think others would agree with me, based on your comments, you dislike PS4 for some reason.

@Abdulrahman1981: Weird time to get rid of your ps4! But it sounds like you can afford another one.

@sellingthings: I disagree with that all of what you said. Receivers do a much better job of processing signals than a tv will, it is the full purpose of a receiver.. Ill take the connection to the receiver first any day. Also, if you do HDMI to the TV, you will never get HD Audio as it cannot be passed via Optical. Obviously not needed for the headphones but will be an issue with your home theater (the main reason you would have a receiver).

In regards to the headphones, again, most connect to their receivers for audio and video as it makes it much easier. One press of a button and both audio and video turn on for that source. The way you are doing it is much more complicated and unnecessary.

The way I do it and have ever seen any professional have it done, is by having the receiver as the brain of the home entertainment and everything connects to and from that as the main hub.

@DarkCaptain3: Good explanation... sounds complicated. Not to be rude, but with your knowledge of hardware, didn't you know it didn't have optical out before buying it? And maybe they stopped putting optical out on tvs, but even the cheapest of cheap tvs from years ago have it, so I'd be surprised.

@jerjef: I don't understand why you'd go from optical (pretty much a perfect signal) just to convert it to wireless? I'm sure there's explanations, and you don't need to waste your time telling me. My point was if you have that kind of tech knowledge, why would you buy a slim knowing that? Just kind of an odd complaint. And I haven't seen a tv within the last 7-8 years that doesn't have an optical out... although it doesn't seem to solve the OPs problem anyways. I feel bad for anyone that this happens to, and don't understand why Sony did it, unless it saved a butt load of money, which I doubt. To me, the slim is the cheap ps4... even cheaper than the launch one. It's not tailored to people with these fancy sound setups apparently.
