$4000 is supposed to be affordable? Hard pass.

[lte]

People dunk on Vision Pro but that legitimately costs $1k+ even for Apple. This? This costs them $200 at most. They're charging $4k to offset their move license agreements + storage/egress costs, and they overcharge on every movie anyway. Insane

[ChadAV]

960GB SSD costs $100 these days.... They couldn't put 2 or 3 more in there? And not even HDR10+? These guys are price gouging hard. I think they're aiming for the "too rich to care" market.

It's a cool product, but I'll stick with physical media. I don't want K Scape to be in control of what I can watch. There's pride and security in ownership.

The cost of this unit is fine. It’s what they charge for additional hard drive space that’s criminal. I can build an 80TB NAS quite cheaply (compared to their costs for storage). Then I could download EVERYTHING I buy on Kscape and feel like I do own it. Only having 10 movies on the unit is ridiculous. If they disappear as a company, and their access to everything you buy goes away, you literally will only have 10 movies to show for your investment. It’s the proprietary storage that is the main issue with Kaleidoscape! If I own it through them, then why can’t I put it on my own drives? Piracy maybe? I don’t know….but wish someone would find out and report why.

For me $4000/- Kaleidescape should have DV with HDR10, HDR10+ and 20 or 40TB of SSD that will be awesome and affordable for us.

[davonfranklin]

Blu Ray still wins over K Scape. No limitation on how many movies, no internet required, same quality and thousands less.

[heftyfunseeker]

I’ll be purchasing this for my dedicated room to feed my 97” G2 (finally). I had been holding out for Dolby Vision. The fact that they integrated storage is perfect. For those claiming discs are the only way to truly own the content: DRM is performed at multiple levels and a disc that plays today could be revoked through a firmware update tomorrow 😅. Anyhow (DRM is a rabbit hole), I’ll be primarily using this player for watching new releases, and not trying to rebuild my Apple or disc collection.

Not enough space should have capacity for at least 50 movies

[justbrowsing]

I know you didn't want this type of comment but it's important to compare the unbelievable price difference. Just rip 4k blu rays. You can't even expand storage without paying ungodly prices on this thing. You can get a 20 tb hard drive right now for under 300 dollars. Sorry. If you want the simpler format and are willing to pay 20 times the price (more really), that's cool. Just good to let people know the options. I love the concept and if the players get down to 1000 bucks with 20 tb of storage, then I'm in. I suppose this was a big step, but there's a long way to go.

[BrianNors]

$4000 for the player, only space for 10 movies and have to re-buy all movies. It is still to expensive compared to physical media.

[ckenisell]

Nope.
One Zidoo Z9X Pro
One Synology 1821+ with four 20 TB drives
Rip my own Blu-rays.
Half the price of the Strato V.
I even added another Zidoo client in another room.

"When the chips are down these, these civilized people, they'll eat each other." (joker)
Still too risky to buy one and collect movies on this device

[htenthusiast]

This is a hard sell. I can understand spending this amount or more on a receiver, amplifier, speakers, or projector, not on a lossless digital player.

[cyberathlete]

I will give credit to Shane for engaging with his community and responding to comments and critiques. Even though they are not in favor of the Kscape system and how the video came across.

[Keithwithfever]

They could have use their movie store to make tons of money. But they chose to sell expensive hardware. Strato C was $4000. So adding a 1TB SSD for the same price isn't really a price drop. I would buy it at $1000.

[JLDowdy]

If you pair this with a Terra Server, will you get the updated Picture Wall UI that makes Kaleidescape so attractive? I find the Strato V's UI to be very cheap looking.

[SirDerpsalot]

Ub820 when I purchased was 450cad I believe and all my movies added to that price still doesn't reach the Strato V price. 6k cad is nuts unless you make good money. Edit: Hopefully they survive long enough to get cheaper

[robertdavidsanders]

I might've considered it at 4TB of storage. I get that the it's the software (the movies) itself that os the "killer app", not the hardware. But let's get real, the build-of-materials in no way justifies this price. This is a blunder, imho.

[BigStreetCinema]

I Would buy it if you can put 20 movies and have support in Sweden

[stevehuntington]

Strato V is retailing for £5390 here in the UK!? “Affordable” lol. $3900 converts to around £2970. Not sure the reasoning for the extreme mark up but it can’t all be import taxes & VAT surely? Also, 10 movies only? Should be 35 - 50 at least.
