The choices for Blu-ray players will become even wider with the release of Sherwood Blu-ray players later this year, according to TWICE.

The Blu-ray players are the BDP-6003 ($499 retail), due for release in September, and the BDP-5003 ($299 retail), due October 2008.

Both models are Blu-ray Profile 1.1 players with BonusView capability and HDMI 1.3 output.

Both players also feature decoding of all authorized Blu-ray surround formats, though only the 6003 features 5.1-channel analog output for connection to early A/V receivers.

An ethernet port for firmware upgrades will also be included.

Great to see more choice in Blu-ray players - it is going to be an interesting holiday season for sure.
