  IMO, The Reverent is the only title out of these to choose, as it's only one of two titles in this list to have a 4K master (I think Maze Runner might also, but is it worth owning that anyway?). All the rest are upscaled from 2K, not real 4K.

  EDIT: Of course Independence Day also be true 4K, as it's shot on film and edited before 2K digital intermediates were the standard.

    TRUE. Read a review that the Revenant is a MUST have, that it looks better than it did in the cinemas. Amazing

  I don't think that the XBOX One S can do Dolby Atmos or DTS X, let alone DTS HDMA or Dolby Tru HD. Is it worth the upgrade then? I have a vanilla XBOX ONE from launch and am thinking of waiting for a Scorpio. But then again, I just bought a 4K TV from the Good Guys deal last week…… 1st world problems!

    I dont know much about waht the S can do but if you got money to throw around a bit id suggest just waiting for Scorpio as it will be able to play your 4k movies.

      Scorpio Aus release date is yet to be announced, One S can play 4K Bluray & stream 4K video from Netflix, Youtube etc…. It's the best value for money 4K Bluray player on the market right now imho…

        @TripleCheesePizza: agree with your comment about lack of 4K Bluray content! it's only the beginning, there will be a bigger release of new movies by Xmas this year.
        As for 4K streaming, I've been streaming Netflix & Youtube 4K since March with no issues (am on Telstra cable)! HDR & Dolby Vision is amazing!!

        @TripleCheesePizza: I've been streaming Netflix and YouTube content in 4K on a 10Mb ADSL2+.

        No problems!

    Is this correct, the S cant do any of the HD audio formats?

    If I am geeting 4k then I also want DTS HDMA or Dolby True HD at thr least.

      Apparently: http://www.highdefdigest.com/news/show/games/ultra-hd-bluray…

      …until Sony PS4.5/Neo is out and they say they are supporting those formats, then strangely the one'S' will be able to it on next FW update.

      Atmos gets processed as Dolby Digital 5.1, while DTS TrueHD 7.1 gets processed as DTS. While the system still sounds great…

  Wish that the gears of war one had a price drop, I'd trade my one in for that.

  Just called up JB - they don't trade in consoles! BUMMER!
  EB is offering $170 for my launch XBOX one. + 15% Level 3…. so ~210 if I got an S from EB without the UHD Blu Ray….

    genes888 on 06/09/2016 - 15:28

    nice price with the trade in!

    unfortunately for me, i only have an Xbox 360 elite! EB or JB not currently taking 360s for trade-in anymore!

  $388 at Big W, no 4k Bluray of course.

  Alas I was too late to fight over the two Xbox ones on clearance at my local target yesterday. This deal seems ok but I have zero interest in these 4K movies. Does anyone know how much one would expect to trade/sell one for? What would be the most popular film to sell?
