My standalone player is very basic, although it does say the total time of a title, it doesn't do much more (although it has details on the encode's video and audio). The PS3's options are comprehensive.

Thanks but I was requesting a link to amazon on which kind to purchase. You guys lost me with all this tech talk so I just want to know exactly which cable to buy from amazon and a link would be superb.

These are supposed to look better..

That's a shame, I read that the Fox wave would be available along with the player. Seems pretty daft selling the hardware but not even 1 film to play on it.

Even better than other 4K upscaling players? I've got the Oppo 103 and that seems to do a pretty good job already.

Well, it's not like there's really anything great in the first wave of titles, anyway.

I'd buy anything if I was buying the hardware. It's like buying a new console then not buying any games to go with it. Sure the launch games are rarely ever any good but you need to get something, otherwise why even bother buying the hardware

The Martian is pretty great

I have been waiting to watch this for the first time ever, on UHD disc. So hopefully it's good. Same for Sicario.

My number 2 and number 1 of the year

Who said there would be no movies during the general release of the player next Friday?

I haven't seen The Martian either, so will check it out the first time on UHD (hopefully in a week).

Yeah, aside from a movie that won Best Director(Life of Pi), a movie that's nominated for Best Picture(The Martian), the most critically and commercially successful entry in the X-Men series(Days of Future Past), and one of the biggest sleeper hits of 2015(Kingsman: The Secret Service).

Sony's first wave sucks. No argument there. But Fox is actually offering up some quality titles(whether they're actually 4K or not is another matter entirely).
