Due out by the end of the year. To shut up any infuriating salesperson that goes on about 'mastered in 4K' titles…

    Good stuff, I look forward to actually viewing 4K video on my 4K display. Although I'm still pretty content with 1080p

    Wake me up when they've cracked the encryption.

    Blu Ray only got anywhere at all once it was cracked - you'd think that maybe they might have learnt their lesson.

      I think it was more once it became affordable than when it was 'cracked'.

      I suspect the same will happen here. I expect the equipment will be very expensive to start with (both the hardware and the discs) and then, over a few years, the prices will drop to current DVD/BR prices.

      I think bluray was cracked pretty early on - I remember them finally announcing the end of hd dvd and a day later slsyoft released their bluray decrypter

      Edit - heres the announcement, not sure how the date stacks up
