I read an article somewhere that said Sony was working on a PS4.5 that would do 4k....not sure any of the current consoles can do 4k or not. Maybe they could pass through, but then the dashboard has to be able to do 4k as well....

Better than nothing, but that's pretty close to nothing, lol.

Just the mechanism existing would be good news, to be iterated on. I'd keep my library for a few bucks a title though.

both consoles cannot stream or play games at 4K

The new slim of ps4 and xb1 will most likely have the ability to stream 4K but gaming wont happen for a long time on consoles

That's the intent of the PS4K new system, to be able to actually PLAY 4k games..

Considering it's a digital rights license and not an actual disc, they can sell it as NEW for full price. So why aren't they giving us say, 80% for trade-ins when they can still make the full 100%?

What a great idea, but in it's proposed state, it's completely useless.

Sure, it's better than nothing. I get that, but lets be honest, in comparison to the cost of the game new, it's nothing essentially. Especially given the fact that digital games, are still priced the same (if not more), than physical copies, that you can trade it for significantly more value at EB/Gamestop.

Be curious to see the results of that survey, but they really need layers to the questions in that survey. Of course people are going to say yes, they're interested, but I'm sure most would want more than 10%. They really should have asked two questions: 1. Would you be interested in a trade in system? 2. What value would you anticipate in return? 0-10%, 10-25, etc, etc. The reason I say that, is because, yes, I'd be interested in the program, but for a measly 10%... no thanks.

They aren't re-selling your license though, so they would lose money if they took back the game for nearly full price. It's not like there's a finite amount of digital codes, and buying a "used" digital game isn't possible.

I'd be more interested in if they did a Steam/Origin style refund program. I've definitely tried more game on Steam (especially in sales) knowing that if I'm not a fan of it I can just return it.

Re: Xbox One

I'm pretty sure MS doesn't see 80% of a purchase either, at best I don't see us getting more than 20-30% ever outside of this mechanism opening up things like a 24hr full/partial refund, or promotional 'trade up' for sports titles or something.

That is not happening. Kotaku was fed info that they ran with as being gaming 4K but that is not the case

CEO of Netflix stated last year that PS4 and XBOX one will release updated consoles that will allow streaming of 4K but is not going to play games in 4K

Sony cannot sell a 4K ps4 for gaming at 350 or 400 or even 500

That console will cost a lot of money and consoles are meant for casuals not pc specs fans

Sony and MS will not have 4K gaming for at least 5-7 years from today if not more as I think is more closer to 10

Re: Xbox One

ok guys I used the ps4 hard drive stock as my extra hard drive for my 500gb xbox will I get a new drive and games are a stuttering mess? Any ideas as to why?

I thought maybe it was the drive and went and bought the WD My Book 3 tb and put all games in that and same issue. Games are stuttering like crazy.

I heard that using external drives requires you to not have instant on mode as this fixes the issue but I rather have it on

Any tips?

on another note, i know they dont want to drastically drop digital prices due to angering retailers and the whole make more because people might buy on a whim, but i would be interested in a bb gcu type program. gold members get 10, 20% off digital. or 20% on preorders and 10% after, or like amazon 20% in first few weeks of release. even if it was an additional 30 per year or two, i bet they could get a lot more sales. not sure how that would go over for retailers though. but cant be as bad as simply having lower prices. wonder if something like that might pop up in the future.

Looks like the Gears of War 1 Ultimate Edition is on sale for $10 this week at Amazon.

Playing it gets you into the Gears of War 4 beta next month.
