More CEDIA and IFA Announcements

 

ifa_thumb What a crazy week for Blu-ray Announcements!  Upping the ante even more, and following up on the earlier IFA Press Conference announcements, Blu-ray Disc supporting companies have announced even more upcoming players to be released soon:

  • Sony BDP-S2000ES -- Sony's first ES series player!  Based on the BDP-S500 player, but with significant upgrades to build quality, this could make for an excellent high-end player.
  • Sony HES-V1000 -- Sony also announced their first Blu-ray changer, in the form of a massive 200-disc beast, complete with 500 GB Hard Drive and DLNA Media Server capability and XMB interface.
  • Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD -- Pioneer announced a minor model upgrade to the BDP-94FD that adds support for high-resolution bitstream audio output onto an already great product.
  • LG BH200 -- LG announced a second-generation Blu-ray / HD DVD combo player that fully supports BD Profile 1.1 (PIP features) with planned support for BD-Live in a future update
  • JVC showed off an unnamed Blu-ray player to be released in the coming months
