It is time to buy an Xbox Series X.

 

Imagine releasing a box in 2020 with no Dolby Vision and Atmos support.

Like, I literally can't.

 

Lots of TV manufacturers don’t even support DV or pass through necessary for Atmos. It’s not as if this is unprecedented.

 

Sounds like a big FFFF UUU to somebody depending on your point of view.

Interesting article here:
In the short term, AI-driven upscaling will be the nearest buyers get to experiencing 8K content. 'We've done this dance before,' says Chinnock. 'Distribution is always going to remain a challenge...'

Hmm... makes for some interesting discussion around the projections of where hardware should be headed I guess. That or we just leave it to the TV to do.

 

... Sony does...?

 

Come on. It's a device that's suppose to last 7 years & they did put a 8K badge on the box? This is a license issue. Sony didn't probably didn't want to pay the piper. May say more about the BOM than anything.

Is there anything that precludes an optional purchase of a Dolby Vision+Atmos license? Akin to the original XBox's DVD remote, but this time just software.

 

Of course it can come later on.

 

And they can make firmware updates. This isn’t no forever necessarily.

 

Yep. It can be free or they could charge for it via an app like Microsoft did with the Atmos headphones support.

8k gaming if you have a 3080/90 and dlss. No rt even there?

Btw dont the new iphones also support dolby vision/hdr?
Sonys new xperia?

 

Maybe it's there at launch? For your sake, I hope it is. Doesn't effect me, as my TV's rather a cheap thing. Fond of it though I am.

 

app is the best idea for sure.
Just let people buy in.

I think that's on DTS and Dolby to make. I don't think it's a Sony thing.

 

Consoles and consumer media playback devices don't need to pay for a license for Dolby Atmos support. That cost is covered by your TV or Audio Reciever.

They only need to pay for Dolby Atmos Headphones support.

 

Oh god, there’s much bigger issues to worry about these days! We will survive!!

 

I absolutely the fact that Sony have seemingly limited people to just showing the box today.

They are just utter trolls.

 

Makes sense that the last device in the chain to process the signal should be enough since it determines ultimate compatibility. Is the same true for Dolby Vision then?
