This is the part that is scary

"The 4K media player and download service will only work with a Sony 4K TV," said company spokesman Keizo Masuda in Tokyo.

By the time this launches I will have paid off my XBR55X900A...so this works out perfect for me.

Just installed a FMPX-1 Sony Media Player on a XBR-65X900A 4K TV with a STR-DN1040 receiver and PS3. Had to leave on a trip so only had a week to play, but so far what I have seen is outstanding. The pre-recorded 4K movies and shorts on the Media player are a step up from 2K IMO. Watched the Hobbit Blu-ray upscaled and it was beautiful. Everything I have watched so far has not disappointed. Will be back home in a week so I will update my review then.

by the way, did they send a Sony tech out to you? I read reviews of this on Amazon and apparently Sony sent out techs to change mainboard on their 4K TV's so they are now HDMI 2.0 to receive true 4K content from that media player
