Ps4 e3 (2015) Stream Links in OP - Blu-ray Forum

I don't think that will ever happen until there is a need for games to be printed on UHD media. It's been pretty clear they are not interested in marketing the PS4 as home theater hardware. There is no money to be made downstream from owners who use their console as a BD player. One of the big lessons learned from the PS3 generation.

More likely than a UHD drive is a PS4 without an optical drive and with a larger HDD, because that would be nothing more than a revenue generator for SCE. The next piece of hardware needs to have a larger HDD, no matter what, because that is a potential huge limiting factor in how much money Sony can make via the PS Store. I don't think the average user us up to replacing a HDD. And having to do so just raises your cost to something that is not attractive, anyway.

Before the outraged replies start, it's not necessary, I already know what some of you think. You like to hold things that you own in your hands and you like to resell things. Let's just make a gentlemen's bet instead. There are enough users in this forum who download most of their games and don't sell games to suggest there is a market for such a device. It's not for everyone. At the right price, it would increase the number of users who downloaded games. If it did not take me two hours to download 1GB, I would download all of my games just for the convenience of not having to shuffle disks.
