RSSPanasonic Blu-ray Player Due in Sept.
By the Betanews Staff | Published March 28, 2006, 5:05 PM
Panasonic will launch its first Blu-ray disc player in September, the company said Tuesday. The release of the DMP-BD10 would come in conjunction with its first 1080p plasma displays and a new high-definition receiver. The company expects the player to retail for less than $1,500 USD, but pricing has not been finalized.
"With the DMP-BD10, Panasonic proves its commitment to providing the best high definition entertainment experience for the home," Panasonic merchandising vice president Reid Sullivan said in a statement. "Our goal is to focus on the total solution for an uncompromised high definition experience."
I guess they can sell it at this price cause the people who can afford a big HD plasma or LCD should be able to afford this.

|What is the big deal about Blu Ray anyway? If it was affordable, would you still want one?
Score: 0
|that "maybe" will have to go with a HDTV as well ...
what these companies dont get is that for 1'500 people can buy many other things besides a "movie" player that will make no difference over a regular dvd, since im sure that even on a couple of years lots and lots of people will still have a 320 x 240 .... ermmm ... i mean, analog tv ...

|This is some high leisure product. $1500 for a player, who are they trying to sell too? Isn't the disc going to sell like 3 times the price of today's DVD?

|Just wait for the PS3 to come in November and you'll get it for like $399...err...ok, I'm thinking the PS3 might be more than that now after reading this.

|I think I'll pass.
I'd rather spend $500 on HDDVD for now. If BlueRay ends up taking over, I'll then buy a BlueRay player, and it will likely be less than the $500 HDDVD player I'll buy this year. My guess is it will take at least 2 years for this whole mess to sort itself out.

|I'd avoid both, AT LEAST until Christmas but probably longer. $500 isn't worth the HD-DVD drive either IMO. Stick with DVD for now, I say.

|what these clowns don't get is the only way I'll bother watching pictures on my tv is if I have an experience like xbox 360; streaming inside the homenet.
Oh, honey, do you have that SD from today's yuppie outing? Put it in the TV.
NO! No one does this! It's all about putting a multireader that costs $10 and charging a premium for it. Garbage.

|If you want high end audio and video you had better be prepared to pay a high end price. The same is true for standard DVD players. Check out the Denon DVD-5910 standard DVD player if you think Panasonic's Blu-Ray player is expensive.

|Wow! That Denon DVD-5910 is crazy expensive! $3,500!
