Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
Yes, definitely. From the product page:
"With four times the resolution of standard HD 4k Ultra HD delivers the clearest, most realistic video possible. Stream 4k content on Netflix and Amazon Instant Video and watch Ultra HD Blu-ray movies in stunning visual fidelity with High Dynamic Range."
Also, one of the MS execs posted on twitter how he watched Deadpool on the system using the UHD disc.

Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
glad to help.
I'm still on the fence on whether or not to pick one up myself. I don't really want the 2TB version, but there's no official release date for the 500GB or 1TB. I might buy in when August rolls around. We'll see.
Regardless, I think this kind of move might be one of the major driving forces behind any sort of UHD disc adoption. I went to best buy today and the number of titles is definitely going up, but the only UHD player they have is the Samsung, which is on the other side of the store, practically hidden in a corner. That thing (or this Xbox One S) should be front and center, right in front of all the UHD movies.

A "Neo" will not be $299, though. It's expected to be a major hardware upgrade, whereas this isn't.
It's smart to wait until there's more info on the Neo, though.

This article based on a developer document states that the Neo will only support 50GB discs, but that may be in reference to game discs, which have to be backwards compatible with the PS4.

That's the rumor, although it's likely going to cost more, maybe $399 or higher, and it's not likely to be released before October.

Yeah, the Xbox One S announcement surprised me, but I don't follow the gaming rumors too closely.
Can all games be played without subscribing to Xbox Live? I was planning on replacing my PS4 with the new 4K model, but I suppose this is a better option if it opens up some games that I didn't have access to before.

I just saw on Amazon that the release date for the $299 X-Box S is December of this year, so for those that want to save that extra $100 then you'll have to wait 6 months.

It's extremely early yet, but Amazon lists a UHD / 3D BD combo for the 2016 spin on Ghostbusters. Maybe this will be a thing after all!

Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
While I still won't be in any hurry to buy into 4K as long as it doesn't support 3D, I'd rather have the markets for these two combined than compete against each other (and have 2D-only 4K discs outsell 3D discs). As long as they still release those separately, I make an effort to buy the 3D the week it's released to show which one I'm voting for if I can't have both.

So there might be a quality control issue with the UHD BD of Man of Steel. Looks like they left some special features completely off according to my friend who already got his studio screener. I think the BD forum at that other site imploded, as well. It's a quality control issue, no doubt.

It's definitely missing the 3D

Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
Well my Samsung player is out for delivery today Dan the xbox one in 2 weeks. I should probably know he answer but I don't need any special HDMI cable do I? Just the newest rating and not a 100.00 cable?

Re: Let's talk about Ultra HD Blu-ray
yea sorry
Ok so I have it all set up. I thought VUDU would at least let me buy 4K on this but I don't see the option. Can I buy and stream any 4K from this player?
