Surely must be very close to a release of 4k hdr version. I would hold off for a little while if you have an 4k Hdr tv.
Still heat added though as good price.

This seems a decent price for this considering many retailers seem to stick close to the £80 RRP. I've been thinking of getting one after recently getting a 4K TV and then realising how few of my devices, even current gen consoles, can make use of the resolution. I know PS4/Xbox One were never going to do 4K gaming but I'm sure they could have patched support for video in :disappointed:
So tempting and heated though I think £50-£55 is about the most I'd pay considering, apart from the 4K the specs aren't all that generous (8GB storage) but undoubtedly one of the better streaming boxes out...

If your TV is HDR then this box works in HDR. Some Amazon and Netflix stuff are already supported :smiley: Problem for me the content is limited to stuff like Mozart in the Jungle and that Nazi show.

I wouldn't worry about the storage, but I suspect more deals may appear soon, as Amazon have a habit of announcing then releasing new products in September. Heat added, but if you can afford to wait past mid September, you may get even better deals.

Think September 17th was previous announcement date, with early October release. And Amazon seem to be able to announce these things with little build up.

The new xbox one slim now has a UHD bluray player. The New Ps4 Neo is going to be 4k capable (not really powerful enough to play AAA games at 4k though)
Xbox one Scorpio will be an ultra powerful console capable of full 4k games (but won't be on sale untill about a year)
So 4k is coming.

Pretty sure Argos will be running the spend promo giving a £5 Argos voucher on £50 spend from tomorrow (£10 Argos voucher on £100 spend)
So maybe click and collect for tomorrow - could be wrong

Sure I know it's coming, it's been coming for ages now as 4K sets starting coming out as far back as 2013, possibly further, just a bit frustrating that the devices and content seems to be appearing at a snails pace in comparison. I realise the base PS4/Xbox One specs put 4k gaming far out of the question but I'm sure they could play back 4k video, which by comparison is FAR less demanding, even the low spec processors in the average smart TV can do it. I suspect part of the issue is HDMI 1.4 but used to it's max capacity you can get 30fps at 4k, enough for the vast majority of video. Hence it's a tad annoying asking those who bought the base models to buy new consoles even just for basic 4k video playback, I'm sure the base models could do with a little software tweaking...
