Sony’s first BD Live player is now available - in fact you may already own it.
I see over at EngadgetHD today that Sony has released a new version of firmware for the BDP-S350 player that enables the BD Live functionality in the player.
I see today that the Panasonic DMP-BD55K Blu-ray Disc Player is now available for pre-order at Amazon.
I am excited to see this player coming, since it adds the essential 7.1 analog connectivity to the functionality of the DMP-BD50 player (pictured).
Price is $499.99 and expect shipping in 3 to 5 weeks.
There are a number of new Warner promotions at Amazon today.
If you buy a Blu-ray player and three Warner movies, you will save $50. This deal is even available with the Sony S300 player at $200! Other players include the Panasonic BD30, Samsung P1500 and the Sony S350.
Buyers of new Sony Blu-ray Disc players this fall will get the chance to see spectacular high-definition programming from the Discovery Channel and HD Theater, due to a co-promotional agreement between Sony and Discovery.
A couple of days ago I noted that the much anticipated Sony BDP-S550 BD Live capable Blu-ray player became available to pre-order at Sony Style.
If Amazon is you prefered etailer, you will be happy to see that the player is now available for pre-order at Amazon also.
The new Sony BD Live player is now available for pre-order.
Sony Style are listing the release date as “on or about 10/13/2008″ and the price is $499.99.
I know a lot of people have been waiting patiently (?!) for this player - now the countdown begins.
Now is your chance to be first kid on the block with one of these!
It looks like Amazon is shifting out the last of the BDP-S300 units for a sale price of only $229.
While this player doesn’t have the latest Bonus View capability, for that price it is a bargain for the price conscious shopper.
When it comes to news from CEDIA, it seems that ‘all at once’ is the name of the game.
Among the buzz today I noticed a number of reports about Blu-ray players.
While personally I am content to just wait for somebody to release a Blu-ray player with built in DTS-HD Master Audio decoding and 7.1 analog outputs that will work with the New Line titles, it is interesting to see what is being promised.
I know many Blu-ray enthusiasts have Playstation 3 systems for their Blu-ray player.

First up you can get Gran Turismo 5 Prologue for only $22.95 as the deal of the day.
