Several new BD players are coming out-announced at IFA yesterday.
Sony BDP-S500: Will do advanced audio, and be a higher end player, but will not be video 1.1 compliant. Price is unknown, but will be more expensive than the S300.
Sharp Aqueos BD-HP20: Nice looking player. Not sure of the price. Not 1.1 compliant.
Apparently, Bendai isn't going to be making players anytime soon. They did have a prototpye on display, but said the new specs are an issue.
This is unfortunate, since more cheap players need to be made, if the masses are going to adopt either format.
Samsung is coming out with the 1400 and the 2400 as well.
All of which will be shipping before the end of October.
enjoy,
Jack

- Laser disc isn't a good comparison. It was marketed as a high-quality alternative to VHS - Jazz Inmate 12:18:14 08/31/07 (21)
- Its a very good comparison - Jack G 12:44:31 08/31/07 (20)

- There was no such thing as laserdisc in 1978 - Jazz Inmate 13:48:45 08/31/07 (10)
- I guess the LaserDisc demonstration I attended at MyerEmco in Washington DC in early 1979 was imaginary - racerguy 16:07:47 08/31/07 (5)
