    ElectroFlying, no argument here. Google, Microsoft, Dropbox, LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Apple and a few others have headquarters here. It's so they don't have to pay taxes in America.

    There are people talking about a Brexit already as people are starting to think that living under the iron thumb of the EU is not a good idea.

    Back on topic, I do not see this situation as a bait and switch.

  3. ^ (Brand) Finally, something we both agree on... Sorta!

    Who would have thunk it.

    Back to topic: OP. rent a known good 4k TV for a week and see if the X1-s performs on it as advertized. If not then you'll know for sure that it's the console.

    ^ And how is a good 4K tv going to prove anything if there's no 4K content to show on it? which is what the OP is complaining about.

  5. Xbox aside, most Smart 4K TVs with Netflix, Amazon Prime have shed loads of 4K/HDR content.

    I think at the moment to get use from Xbox Slim you need to get the physical discs, here it's brilliant and probably the cheapest good quality HDR player I've seen on sale

    Games wise, well we shall see. I believe the first HDR supported game is the basketball title NBA 2K17, shortly after Forza Horizon 3. Some saying the difference will be big, others tiny. Apparently Xbox Slim is already giving old XB1 titles a performance
    boost but I'm not in the position to run a comparison and neither would I lol

    Again gameplay first, if it comes with eye watering visuals then bonus

  6. So let's see... OP is apparently a backer, or proponent of Apple, to the point of knowing detail about their stock value, points out how they "dont need antivirus, and do everything better then MS. MS is a fossil of the 80s now."

    In addition to that, OP is apparently *confident enough with his knowledge of UHD (and capacity to learn), to know more than some will ever know about it.

    Just have to wonder how it's possible that someone with so much savvy and knowledge about this tech and UHD would fail to have the knowledge about what, and how much, content would be available on a gaming console he purchased. I mean it's obvious from the
    knowledge of Apple's stock that he's able and willing to do some research.

    I find it hard to believe that those who are willing to do an appropriate amount of research on a feature that's obviously important to them, would get caught up in a "bait n switch". Especially... especially considering the feature is both new enough, technologically,
    to not be a universal standard as of yet, in addition to being offered on a device from a company so inferior that it's a "fossil of the 80s now."

    *I may have misspelled condescending for some readers, but I'll leave that up to each individual.

    ^ the OP clearly states the Xbox Netflix app doesn't support 4K which is his cause for complaint. No model of 4K TV is going to change that. Try reading his first sentence....

    by chance do you have the 4 screen 4k content Netflix plan. It costs a bit more than the standard one

    Yeah, Apple stock, which is a reflection on value, is so hilarious it went from $1 in 2000 to $600 in 2013- then split to $300, and went to $400. Its the most valuable company on earth unless it switches between BP or Apple. They pit out solid products
    consistently. They dont need antivirus, and do everything better then MS. MS is a fossil of the 80s now. If dbox doesnt control the content- xbox surely can control renting uhd movies on demand. Wheres the uhd content, again? Tyey couldve built partnerships
    to have in place but all their recent consoles ate launched as works im progress. My 2014 4K tv csme with support for 4K from netflix. How does a serious fonsole maker not have the relationships needed in plsce before launch? This is old tech!!!
