The FMP-X1 plays content in both 4K and (upscaled) HD, and ships with a bizarre selection of 10 films, including  Bad Teacher, Battle: Los Angeles, The Bridge on the River Kwai, Salt, The Karate Kid (2010), Taxi Driver, That's My Boy, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Other Guys, and Total Recall (2012).

Sometime in Q3 2013 Sony should launch an "industry first" subscription-based video distribution service, one offering 4K content from Sony Picture Entertainment and "other notable production houses."
