I buy physical because:

-I have GCU from Best Buy
-Physical games are always on sale like a month or so down the road, and GCU applies to sales too
-I don't keep games and either sell them or trade them in

Its WAY cheaper than going digital and totally worth having to spend a couple seconds putting a disc in.

Also streaming movies is garbage if you have even a somewhat decent home theater setup. Lossless audio on blu-rays is why I will generally always choose to rent/buy physical over streaming; especially with 4K/HDR.

Some of us (most of us) grew up watching pan and scan TV edits of movies and are still like "Decent 720 picture? Stereo mix where I can hear the dialog? Good."

That's cool and I'm glad it works for you, its just not acceptable for me.

Although I do admit VUDU's HDX is very very close to BluRay quality when it comes to picture.

Honestly I want dynamic resolution to be a feature to be added to PC games. That way I can just set the target framerate to "60fps" in the settings menu and if it has to render the game down to 1080p or even 900p during busy scenes I would be fine with that in order to maintain 60fps.

It is a thing in PC games now. Shadow of War is a prime example. You pick the dynamic resolution target frame rate, it does the rest

Side by side HDR10 vs Dolby Vision was just meh to me. HDR10+ will be out soon and will probably make DV disappear as it’s the same thing without a licensing fee. All 16+ Samsung UHD TVs are HDR10+ compatible now thanks to a firmware update.

4k blu ray rules, but Apple has done a really fine job with their 4k encodes. It’s too bad streaming audio is garbage in comparison.

DV is also what the latest wave of theaters were built/upgraded to support and doesn't require a newer HDMI version that almost nothing supports yet. I think it'll be messier than you're suggesting.

HDR10+ only requires a firmware update to "upgrade" the HDMI port.

So people that had a One S on a 4K tv and switched to the one X, how much of a difference are you noticing in games and Netflix, etc. I am currently playing BF1, Wolfenstein, and will probably get COD WW2 and battlefront 2 to play on it. How do the graphics change on these with the console upgrade?

Netflix you won't see a difference, as its streaming 4k content from the S already. Games there was a huge difference going from an S to an X in CoD: WWII...*cough* from what my friend says.

I wish some games like Destiny could go from 30fps to 60fps with an update, but competitive edge and all 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think it has less to do with that and more to do with the lovely mobile CPU not being able to handle a large openish world game at a locked 60.

Whys everyone so down on Destiny 2 in here? I didn't play it all the way to the max level but from what I did play it seemed much better put together than the first game.

There's a lot of good thing about it; but there's nothing to do in it once you beat the story, run a couple strikes, and do the lovely raid. Its just a soulless game.

How's the blu ray player on this thing? I need a 4k blu ray player and figure why not get an xbox instead.

It went from good, to ok, to bad, to pretty good again last week when they fixed black level issues. I've never had a disc issue, and only one minor stutter issue when I had my S.

Get it if you plan on gaming, otherwise Sony's X800 was on sale during BF for $150, and I'm sure it'll go down to that price (or somewhere near that) before Christmas.

It doesn't support DV but DV is overrated and not the leading format anyways

After that i'll go back and play FH3 for 30 minutes to see the improvements and then RIP xbox see ya on craigslist. I'll buy a standalone player for 4k blu rays because this thing really isn't all that good at it anymore either

the only reason people defend backwards compatibility is that there are no other games to play right now until the next big release (see RDR2). BC is niche and most people do not give a poo poo to play Gears of War 2 in 4k for 37 minutes, then say "hey that was pretty, but I don't feel like playing this game I beat 10 years ago again" and shelve it forever.
