The main weakness I see is that it only has 1TB of disk space... Enough for 20 movies it says.

If it used regular HDMI 2.0 and was not locked to Sony only I would consider it.

Needs EHDD capability & multi brand usability and people would flock to it...

Unfortunately Sony is viewing this as a way to sell Sony TVs rather than Sony movies.

 

[dfergie]

Exactly... near sighted.

The good thing about this player for last years 4k model, it will stream Netflix 4k content.

The FMP-X1 does. I don't see any reason the X10 doesn't.

I wish they would do something like this for regular 1080p stuff too. I'd love to have a box that would download blu-ray quality file size and lossless audio. Kaleidoscope can do it but I'm not spending thousands of dollars for setup, it is ridiculous.

You can always rip your BDs to a file server...

I've ripped my blurays and DVDs to hard drives and then connected them to a popcorn hour box I picked up 12-18 months ago. Works like a charm.

Synology NAS & EHDD's along with a EHDD connected to my router.

$499! Not a bad price! I just wish this thing worked with non-Sony TV sets!

These are the tactics the keep technologies from becoming successful.

If anyone's getting this, get it now. Sony and BB are back up to MSRP. Amazon still has it listed for $498. I ordered one.

Got mine from Amazon this morning. Has the NF 4K app. worked great. Took about 30 seconds to ramp up to 2160p. None of my movies from my X1 are viewable on the X10. I'll have to call them tomorrow

The FMP-X10 is now compatible with sets from other manufacturers that have HDMI 2.0 and are HDCP 2.2 compliant.
