Yeeesh. No bitstreaming, no bd-r, no avchd. Assuming the ps4 does all of these things, waiting a few more months for the neo would make perfect sense … if it weren’t for bloody Comcast and their lockout of hbo go on sony’s systems.
That’s crazy. I’m really glad I’m not in a position of having to deal with Comcast (they’d better not get chummy with Cox, ever). Have you considered just giving Comcast less money monthly by cancelling premium channels and subscribing (as needed, even) to HBO NOW, instead? Not saying it would save money (I have no idea if this would be more or less than you pay now [or whether you’d use it all year or re-up as needed]), but it would certainly be a way of voting with your wallet, as you’ve expressed a desire for. Comcast certainly deserves a loss of income on this issue more than Sony does (plus, HBO would get monetary support directly from you, rather than splitting it with Comcast). Think it over.
