Might be that disc was dirty or damaged. Cause the system is more than capable to decode 4K, hell the One S/X was able to play 4k Blue ray's

The disc seems to be working fine on stand alone players. It's a brand new disc as well. Not a train smash but would have been nice to run everything on the XSX. I suppose it's an excuse to get a PS5.

PS5 media player sucks big time.

PS5 Netflix streaming on the other hand is better than Xbox.
 
Just got back from Telkom, they've got no stock of the series s. They've been advertising this quite a lot and end up not having anything. Lady contacted some other shop also, no stock. :(

It was a Blu ray disc. It doesn't happen with all 4K discs though. Tested Dune and Warcraft which seems to be fine, just the drive is a bit noisy.

Will test the SW Skywalker saga a bit later and see how that goes.

The Series X is notorious for being hit-and-miss for 4K Blu Rays - some don't play the 100Gb triple layer ones, and it sounds quite loud too :

I know I ordered a 100Gb triple layer 4K Blu ray just to test it out properly - Seven Worlds One Planet, it came with a 100Gb disc, 2x66Gb discs and 3x50Gb discs. Mine was fine, just louder.

Try reinstalling the Blu Ray app and making sure it is installed on Internal Storage too.
 
Think I might hand in my MMO anonymous badge tonight....
3 years since I touched any MMO and I was browsing GamePass for something new to play...

I'm still addicted to Destiny 2 :(
 
So I ended up ordering an xbox series s from Telkom in Paarl. The local Telkom just said sorry no stock, they'll call me if they ever get. The Paarl shop did my application and then ordered one, should receive it within 5 days to 3 weeks.
 
PS The MMO was a no go....

I can see it being fun and all, but its another "get what you invest" game and I don't know If I wanna lose another 4 years to a single game....
