Blu-ray Disc™ Player BDP-S1

After just a few delays (cough, cough) it appears that Sony's first Blu-ray player -- the BDP-S1 -- has finally landed, and a few days early to boot. Sony’s latest launch and first ever “Blu-ray Disc Player”. As always Sony’s all the products look normal but they have something unique; and so does this one. Blu-ray Disc™ Player BDP-S1

What you've been waiting for is finally here. Sony's first ever Blu-ray Disc™ player is the definitive high definition experience.

At last word the player was expected on or about Dec 4th 2006, but a few lucky Blu-ray fans picked one up from Best Buy today; no word on pre-orders from the Sony Style store as of yet.

The “Blu-ray Disc Player” is one step ahead of all the other DVD players. It gives an output of 1020 x 1080, which is the highest among all its competitors. The only ordinary feature about this player is that it plays all the formats like others.With this Sony has also intoduced “Blu-ray Disc” which is also unique for its own features. This format of disc has a capacity of 25 GB (Single Layer) and 50 GB (Double Layer) which is almost 5 to 10 times huge than other DVD’s.

The early results are good and some have already started to enjoying that 1080@24P that we have all been waiting for. Sure 3:2 pulldown works great, but there is nothing like a native frame rate to bring out the best in film. Early indications seem to point to a lack of Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD decoding, but you can still enjoy uncompressed audio tracks via discrete analog cables or HDMI. As cool looking as this player is, a PS3 at Ebay prices may still be a better deal than a stand alone Blu-ray player.
