@ProjektInsanity: Right on bro. I am not against streaming but am if it restricts the content you can watch. Certain movies and seasons you can't find on Netflix and Hulu for for example. If it got to the point where majority of devices can only accept subscription based streaming services then what a shame. Right now I use Plex to stream my own media and Pavtube Bytecopy. Check it out if you haven't already. :)

Cheers.

@ProjektInsanity: Yeah... I'm just not ready to say for example 'Dear Netflix I'll pay you x amount of dollars every month so I can view your content that I don't even own. Your content lacks as it is. Sure, I'll watch The Walking Dead seasons 1-4 on Netflix, wait there's more? I have to get Hulu to watch season 5?' Just an example but crap like that happens a lot.

@pspearman: Right because Netflix has all movies and TV shows you could ever want... Pfft. Open your eyes man. These streaming services are cool but their selection is not great. Their selection choice is very limited which is why I prefer to have my own collection. Netflix will never have a complete collection and will never be able to stream true 4K quality. Netflix will downgrade your video quality content based on your bandwidth. By taking away the option to play a 4K Blu Ray disc, it takes away the option to play true 4K quality. I don't see why Sony just couldn't do both. Allow 4K disc playback and allow up to 4K streaming quality. Be skeptical on relying too much on the subscription services my dear friend pspearman. More power that goes to these subscription services, means less power to own your own media. If everyone subscribed to the subscription services, companies will make devices that allow for only streaming. Then you're stuck with only the media that something like Netflix puts up. Let's be honest. Netflix content isn't always the greatest. There's more flexibility in owning your own media which is why I prefer it and hope you do too.

Not being able to play a 4k Blu-Ray is a deal breaker for me. Sure, a 4k Blu Ray to buy now I think is what, 30 bucks? A bit steep. The issue is, the PS4 Pro is focused on what's currently good now. Not down the road. Soon 4k movies will be cheaper to buy and there will be more of them. I don't like being given only the option to be able to stream media in 4k. Streaming's great but you never own the content. I like to have a collection. For that reason, I will keep my current PS4 and skip this one. Sorry Sony, you messed up on this one. #ownyourmedia
