just get a xbox one. it is the cheapest player one can buy.

Not really. pretty much it has all the necessary functions to play a 4k blu-ray disc i would say and cheapest in price. just get the Xbox One S or X
Only downside is that it has no dedicated control like PS3 that you can buy to use it like a remote control. You need to use the controller as remote.
Given its price, it is certainly best value for money 'player' comparing to any other options around.

Yeah, i use my PS3 as blu-ray player only and I do not have any other blu-ray player. I bought a sony official remote control for PS3 to be used as blu-ray player remote control but end up i dun really use it. I use my game controller afterall. Not a big issue seriously.
Most people will just use the play, pause, forward or backward functions when they watch a 2 to 3 hours movie seriously. At most they change the audio or subtile track.

The best parts about game console as player is that they are very durable also.
My PS3 is still working even now.
I have not bought a Xbox one S/X yet becos I have yet to own a 4K blu-ray discs. However, they will certainly be my first choice if I need to own one.

I also used a PS3 as a Bluray player back in the day. But I think the example is not the same as using Xbox One S/X. PS3 did not have the ability to bitstream lossless audio for example. In that regard it's not as good as a standalone player.

It's no longer enough just pushing resolution. There needs to be a 'hook' or gimmick when pushing new tech in general. VCD was actually worse than VHS in terms of imaqe quality, but it was easier to use. No rewinding, CD media is more versatile, and it lasted longer. Laserdisc was the best home format in the 80s, but it was too expensive for mainstream acceptance.

DVD came at a time when it was cheap enough for mass market adoption. Early on, a lot of DVDs came with extra content like behind the scene features, cut content, movie trailers and such. This was on top of better video and multichannel digital sound. It was perceived as better than VHS and VCD in every way. This was the 'hook' it had early on.

When HD DVD was still around, it really gave a fight for the home entertainment marketshare. I actually backed HD DVD between 2007 - 2008, just up until Bluray won the format war. Anyway, both formats helped define the HD era of movies. Full HD resolution and lossless audio became standard. Yet Bluray never reached the popularity level of DVD. There just wasn't enough difference to convince the majority of people to make the jump.

Today, 4K Bluray is facing an even tougher challenges. In addition to legacy formats like DVD still around, there are also challenges from Astro and the various streaming providers. They even support 4K resolution now. There's just not that much appeal in owning movies on 4K Bluray when it's already "good enough" for most people. The only 'hook' 4K Bluray has is Dolby Atmos / DTS X output, and maybe HDR.

I continue to support 4K Bluray (and Bluray too) of course, since I want to watch movies in the best possible way. I just hope the format continues to be supported well into the next generation.
