You can't buy boxes. Best thing to do is buy elite trainer boxes off of the Pokemon center website

Nah, those deals are mostly for other consumer electronics.

Up your budget to $600 and you can get a decent system.

GAHHH this wait for the PS4K is brutal.

I've almost pulled the trigger on a XB1S and the Samsung 4K player about 17 times now.

I want a 4K player for my TV so damn badly, I've held off on watching a good chunk of movies I really want to see just to see them in 4K HDR.

XB1S having one built in for $299 is cheaper than the only standalone player which is $317 on Amazon right now.

But I don't want an Xbox, and will get the new PS4 in October. Makes no sense to buy an XB1S to use the bluray player for 2 months, sell it, and grab a PS4K. Or does it?

Same here.

I want to stream Netflix at 4K but not spending $100 bucks on a 4K Roku. Was in GameStop last night to trade in all my WiiU games for Madden 17 and almost picked up the damn useless XBONES just for 4K video.

Really on a 4K trip lately just because they are just so damn cheap and content looks amazing on them. I'm itching to get some of my favorite movies in 4K. Mainly UHD Blu-Ray Harry Potter collection.

That's a bummer. I've watched pretty much every 4K offering on Netflix at this point and multiple on Amazon Video.

Even watched that new Adam Sandler Netflix original movie because it's in 4K and HDR. Was amazing.

What device are you using? Roku 4K to stream?

Fckk I always forget about those.



Edt: I hate hooking TVs up to my network. I've got issues with having complete control. Do not want more devices sending and receiving shtt out than I already do.

In my apartment away from home, guess I could use the built in apps instead of waiting for a 4K player.

Yeah, the Samsung App store or Smart Hub or w/e they call it is pretty damn large these days and all of the major ones are 4K and run excellent.

The movie streaming options are mostly older movies and limited still though, need a damn 4K BR player already.

Yeah I have 2 Vizio UHDTVs which are both Smart. Not by my choice but you can't purchase a damn decent panel without that shtt these days.

Which movies are you interested in? Not many have been released to date. Most will start launching around Holidays Season 2016.

Deadpool, The Revenant, and Life of Pi. Have waited to watch all 3 of them in 4K.

The Revenant will be my first without a doubt, not even that interested in the movie, just about the scenes in native 4K with HDR10.

I do love my PS4 even though im a PC first guy. Just wish the consoles had more of a library. The WiiU even with the lack of AAA 3rd Party titles, has the richer library.

Something is comforting when logging into that terrible UI and the blue light radiating from a PS4 in a dark room. It is calming, like watching a movie in a warm house on the sofa during a rainy winter day.

Ps4 became my primary unless a game runs like shite the way fallout did. Then I go pc. They did such a better job with ps4 than PS3 it's ridiculous.

CPU/MOBO combo will be $200. Then the GPU for $150-$200 . That is $400-450 right there. Then add a SSD, PSU and case for another $120 or so.

$600 can get you a decent 1080 machine.
