Numerology or what? PS4 + Firmware 4 or PS3 + Firmware 5 = 8

I don't have a 4K TV and I don't watch much TV either so this stuff is completely underwhelming to me.

But it's good to see that media giants are finally getting closer to making 4K content more readily available. I won't buy a 4K TV until there's actually a lot of content to support it.
 
I always like jeff's threads.

4K sets are now ubiquitous and very affordable, so expect 4K to be big next year.

I'd just like to say this is my first Rigby thread and I'm having either a great time or reality is collapsing around me. Thanks.

Its like this every rigby thread. You'll get used to it in no time.

This is my 6th time being in a rigby thread and let me tell you for my first time being in a rigby thread this sure is nuts.

The only thing I've learned in this thread is that ElTorro really likes to use the movie The Matrix for his Gifs ;)

I think the only way to verify this is to get PS4 FW code run at the speed of light, its capabilities might trancend matter

Hmm, I'm pretty sure we came to an agreement that it was already found out. With the custom chips and the codecs as well surfacing.
Still interesting to see more of it come to light...barring Any numerology :)


Edit:
Forgot to say that this console war bullshit is bullshit. Sony and Microsoft is way more than the PlayStation and Xbox. Only people looking for console wars are the ones sitting at home playing with their junk imagining a world that's fucking sad.

i always feel blessed when ElTorro is posting in same thread as me...

Does anyone have an imgur album or sth with those masterpieces in one place? any subreddit?
 
Meanwhile, Jeff is sitting back, smiling with a stoic sneer, thinking...

"The joke is on you guys, you wait."
I just checked my Skype camera to see if it's on. ;)

I don't know how the following can be floating around the internet and there still be doubt:

Game and Media streaming using HEVC It's not part of the CPU/GPU, it's an add-on = Xtensa DPU which is used by AMD for their UVD (Universal Video Decoder) and on Kaveri and Carrizo can support HEVC. AMD just recently said that their APUs use the same hardware the XB1 uses to support HEVC Codecs.

Platforms with UHD blu-ray get the 10 bit HEVC codec free. IPTV services still pay for their use but the same codec is used for IPTV, Blu-ray and Ultraviolet.

10 bit HEVC codec + HDCP 2 = UHD IPTV + Modern Standard Blu-ray drive = UHD Blu-ray support
Playready 2 (Includes WMDRM10) + HTML5 <video> + DLNA = Vidipath (480i -1080i in home streaming and 1080P OTT cloud streaming) = DLNA 2
Playready Porting kit 3 + WMDRM10 + HTML5 <video> + DLNA = Vidipath (480i -1080i) in home streaming and 4K OTT cloud streaming = DLNA 3
Playready porting kit 3 + Playready ND + WMDRM10 + HTML5 <video> + DLNA = Vidipath 480i - 1080i + 1080P and 4K in home streaming and 4K OTT cloud streaming = DLNA 4 = UHD Digital bridge support

Why do you appreciate them if you do not understand them? It's usually a wild mixture of baseless conjecture, bordering on conspiracy theory, and plain nonsense. Just google him. (Sorry, Jeff, but it's true.)

Well, he does dig up new patent filings, even if most of his speculative stuff doesn't come true.

Real talk: Has there ever been some crazy-assed prediction that jeff_rigby was right about?

The PS3 browser changing to webkit iirc. The problem is that Sony took too long to do it and everyone kind of forgot.

Even if jeff is right about 4K coming to consoles, I don't think this is going to come out this soon. And honestly I don't care about 4k blurays.

So, Sony's trying to balance out the bad karma of the 4 in PS4 with firmware numbers than can be added to the 4 to make something other than four?

Brilliant. Sony is safe from death now.
 
Don't worry, Jeff. I understand your posts.

It's still speculation that Sony will allow IPTV features on the PS4. They haven't announced it and to my knowledge, Microsoft hasn't either besides Windows 10, right? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

What's funny is that all of his threads have been this level of crazy. Y'all just never realized it until now.

I was with you for a minute when you talked about using the PS4 as a cable box but then got lost...

Can someone hit me with a solid tl;dr?

Why are you reading my tag instead of the title of my post?
Does anyone else realize just how much Karma and Upvotes Jeff_Rigby would get on Reddit? Holy crap. If he put these long things in every relevant tech thread he'd rake in all the internet points. Just all of them.

I wanted to dominate the living room. Then I took an ESRAM in the knee.

I feel bad for Jeff Rigby, people always derail his threads (even though I don't understand half of what he says), I appreciate his threads nonetheless.
This so much, i wish i was good at tech so i can have a discussion with him and appreciate his effort but alas the least i could do is read the whole thing and understand what i can.
Anyway thanks Jeff

Waiting for Firmware 3.5 features to confirm no Media updates. In which case October with Firmware 4.0 is to support Playstation VR and 4K Media/Vidipath...same OP.
