I imagine it's because Sony will quit making standalone 4k Blu-ray players outside of the top tier ones that cost like $1000, and will make the PS5 their 4k player for the general public.

Nope. That's exactly what it is. Associating PS5 branding with their UHD discs is a great marketing tactic.
When the PS4 doesn't have the feature you must advertise that you have it for the PS5, it's pretty simple.
Again, i understand your point, but first, we are still to be confirmed if it does or doesn't have such codecd, and if it doesn't, it is probably to avoid licencing, which, as everything included in the console, raises cost.
And just being compatible with HDR10+ is about the same as DV, unless I'm mistaken, in fact most people probably don't have DV certified TVs.
I also think the time when consoles were the main media center are gone, so chances are that these things are quite low on the priority list.
So while i understand some may be disappointed, if that ends being the case, truth is that this is a mainstream device, so there's no justification in increasing the cost... when this is something that usually caters to people who spend quite a bit $$ on their set up, so they may already have a uhdbr player, a receiver etc
the only thing people got to show off is the outside of the box.
By all accounts DV has beaten HDR10+ in the standards race. Someone just needs to tell Samsung they lost.
Thats my hope as well.
I thought this was promised for One X disc playback but we never got it.
Well hopefully it's because they are bringing back demos that are installed on movie discs..
Or they are renaming "Sony" Corp... to "PS5". 😆
So the whole One Sony thing was no joke. 😬
My PS3 had a Ghostbusters theme that was on the BluRay movie disk.
Also I think Hancock had a digital copy that was playable on PSP and PS3.
Not always the best standard wins, especially if it has added cost. Remember betamax vs vhs?
In this case it is. The good thing is Sony on their TVs is supporting DV. So that bodes well for the console.
Which makes those complains even less reasonable, at least until we have confirmation ( there's always the possibility to update firmware to include it or even activate them from the menus, as happened with ps3 if i remember correctly, so only then the license is payed and they save quite an amount of money since most will never do probably.)
Wow damn do not remember them trying stuff like thisWell hopefully it's because they are bringing back demos that are installed on movie discs..

I can totally see that.
Idk I just felt like Sony generally keeps separation among enterainment avenues. Like Games stay in their lane, movies stay in their lane etc. I just couldn't fathom PS5 branding Movies for some reason.
Maybe encourage otherwise non PS5 consumers to get a PS5 just to play 4K Bluerays and possibly entice them to get into games as well? That is pretty genius the more I think about it.
It's going to be a tough week on the internet :| saying that I'll take a week delay over past consoles, I think ps2 was about 7 months D:
No it didn't. It showed the omission of the Atmos logo, which is not the same thing. If you've been reading the thread, you've also seen photos of a standalone Sony UHD player, which has the same "Dolby Audio" logo as PS5...but does support Atmos.
Your posts rely on the assumption that lack of logo equals lack of support, which we know to be false. PS5 may or may not support Atmos, but the missing logo isn't evidence toward any conclusion.
I think it's probably more using PS5 to sell. UHDs, rather than the other way around. PS5 will sell better than physical 4K Blu Rays. They also had similar branding on Blu Rays when they came out, for ps3, but they were much less obtrusive (stickers).
Still, going to be bollocks if their UHDs support DV and the PS5 doesn't, once PS5 is on the case. That's some misleading shit.
Because it looks shit in marketing if you are saying "hey, the PS5 is the perfect place to play this blu Ray! oh wait, you can't use everything on the disc with the PS5"
Why link a product in marketing that can't fully support the product you're linking?
Well on my Xbox right now it has Atmos for apps, BRs, and games and apps also have DV. No app purchase is necessary if you already have a Atmos sound system and DV compatible TV. No reason why that would suddenly change.
While also marketing a TV as a PS5 TV and having it support DV. For the PS5 to not support it would be a blunder, but let's wait and see if it does or doesn't first.
ah hell yeah! Sony sent MEEE a box too! I feel #blessed. Please like, comment, subscribe, and give me one patreon dollar.
This thread is still going on about Dolby Vision?! The console releases in three weeks. *NOBODY* is buying this as a DV enabled 4k player on day one. Yes, it's a nice to have, but I'm sure the info will be confirmed either way in due course.
All this over a logo that's not even on the Series X box, which does have DV included. C'mon.

Is this Dolby Atmos thing a system wide feature?
Like, if the console(or whatever) supports it then all games, movies and media will be benefited by it?

Smashing that like thumbs up button and banging that bell as we speak. Letting you know what I think in the comments below.
Especially when HDR works as well right now for most panels lol nobody even has a panel that hits minimum spec brightness for it yet.
i wanna give a shoutout to Ravelle, thanks for the donation and the sub. Im struggling to feed my children this month so it REAALLLY helps LOL thanks!
It's pretty low quality content, not even a banana for scale joke.
There's the next Uncharted film with Tom Holland, also Into The Spider-Verse credit song features Insomniac's Spider-Man design appearing.
Might not be too much, but it's a start with the film section alongside PlayStation Productions.
Next week we should get some stuff, I would guess starting Tuesday.
That is irrelevant tbh, a lot of HDR games are mastered at 4000 nits too.
Well we are less than 3 weeks from US release, and Greg Miller on the KF podcast said the embargo is tiered, so we will definitely start hearing stuff from next week, maybe as early as Mon-Wed?
My guess?
Tier 1: unboxing (Tuesday, 27th)
Tier 2: noise and heat (Thursday, 29th)
Tier 3: backwards compat impressions (Monday, 2nd)
Tier 4: UI impressions (Thursday, 5th)
Tier 5: SSD speed examples with games (Monday 9th)
We've already talked about dynamic metadata vs static, this is what most people want, not the 12 bit millions more colours business.
I'm ready to yield the floor to more comments about tweets of pictures of boxes, though, I'm sure that's much more productive.
