New Sony Blu-ray players, still expensive
Matthew Moskovciak

Over the summer, Sony rolled out the cheapest standalone Blu-ray player yet, the BDP-S300, and now it's filling out its product line with two, higher end models: the BDP-S500 ($700) and the BDP-S2000ES ($1,300), both coming this fall. According to the press release, the two models are largely the same, sharing the following features:

BDP-S500 and BDP-S2000ES key features:
- 1080p at 24 frames per second output
- Onboard decoding for Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus
- Bitstream output, which should enable decoding of DTS-HD Master Audio with a compatible receiver
- HDMI 1.3 port
- Support for AVCHD discs encoded with x.v.Color

The step-up features for the BDP-S2000ES are mostly related to build quality, with Sony touting "dual shield construction" to prevent dust from getting inside the player, and "a rigid drive bracket" which supposedly minimizes vibrations. There is also greater separation between the video and audio boards, which Sony claims can deliver better quality. With many people getting both their video and audio from the digital HDMI output, we're a little skeptical that there will be any real world audio and video performance improvements.

While the BDP-S500 looks to have a solid combination of features, Toshiba's HD-A35 will be released in October with the same key features and a list price of $500. The high price of hardware has been a problem for the Blu-ray camp, and these new players don't help.

Incredibile!
Capirei ancora ancora se fosse una delle consociate del gruppo a continuare su questo autolesionismo ma è addirittura la Sony con due lettori di fascia alta che si ostina a non muoversi con gli upgrade :muro:

Fanno uscire lettori già obsoleti.....
Ma vogliono autoeliminarsi da soli?

 

[GIANGI67]

Pare quasi che questi del BR lavorino a camere stagne,come se nei piani alti si decidesse l'adozione dei nuovi profili e quelli della produzione non ne vengono informati

 

[Duke Fleed]

Mi sembra davvero un'assurdità...e i prezzi?? Avete visto che roba?!

Se continuano così, si affossano veramente da soli...IMHO se non fosse per l'enorme parco film che li salva, a fine anno sarebbero messi davvero male...
