H.265 supposedly features much improved compression, so as long as the console supports that you could fit 4K feature movies on current BR. Or that's the impression I got from some article I read on the subject somewhere anyway.
Personally, I find it suboptimal to have a multitude of different devices in my living room entertainment rack ... the more my "main" device can do, the better ...
With throttling, you don't need to be overkill. And buying two collections of CPU+GPU+RAM+HDD to split the workload that one device can do is just as much overkill. As it's just software, there's no real reason to avoid it. The distinction between any of these boxes is just the software; the hardware makeup is basically identical from PVR to PC to console to media player. Surely it's just as stupid to buy two devices to perform the tasks that one is very capable of doing as it is to buy...two TVs, one for TV programs and one for movies.
Are they really the same individuals? Or are you taking a load of individuals posting in a community as representative of the views of that whole community? I know I have no idea who on this board has said what over the years regards various policies, save for a few strong opinions that have been repeated, so I'd be clueless as to whether anyone's being hypocritical or not. I'd have to log opinions if I wanted to make that sort of comparison months later. Now my people skills aren't great, but I'm still sceptical that anyone visiting fora can keep tabs on the opinions of populations of hundreds or thousands of voices.
But that also says that 4k games are currently not supported. Currently. Does that mean they might be in the future?
Not that I think it will; but imagine the twitter meltdown if, just as the xb1 was getting to 1080p, the PS4 starts rolling out 4k.

Maybe I'm interpreting it wrong? Doesn't support adding HDD "to expand storage" is ambiguous, I thought the question means like the XB1 which has this feature planned in the future, but not at launch.
They don't talk about what file types though. Will you be able to use a USB drive to transfer savegame files over (something we use playing FIFA)? What about plugging in an HDD full of home movies? The FAQ is clear that you won't be able to save any games on USB device, but sin't clear about whether USB devices are supported in any form (from a quick glance. Haven't read it all the way through).
