Thanks for bringing that up, actually based on your comment I just read the entire article and realised those players are actually only Profile 1.1.
Remind me never to have you read anything to me!
From the article:
Quote:
Both players will be Bonus View (aka Profile 1.1) and BD-Live capable, although according to Sony's press release, the BDP-S350 will require a firmware upgrade to enable the player's BD Live functionality.

Dude, give it up. Toshiba couldn't do it with 30GB disks, what makes you think they can take over with 21 GB disks?
One word. $20 red-laser DVD drives.
Beats the hell out of $120 Blu-Ray drives, right?

Where are these? Around here, even the better quality conventional upconverting Oppo players are selling for well over $200.
So these new players with Cell processors that will SUC, along with new laser pickups with the ability to read this new red laser format, and ethernet port for Internet features and ample persistent storage, will debut on the market for a 10th of the price of a conventional upconverting DVD player?
You didn't pull this $20 figure out of your ass did you? Please don't say it's true! YUK! I'll have to go wash my hands AND my keyboard

Buying a DVD drive over a Blu-ray drive as an add-on to your PC it does make a hell of a lot sense however, that's why Sony is pushing deals with HP, Dell, and others to include the BD drive on personalized computers from the factory and come out with special offers such as: "upgrade the DVD drive to BD for only $50/$100 more" and sometimes even "for free".

Be nice now, actually they are $29.99 at staples but I'm sure you can find them cheaper if you look hard enough.

My 3G/ 1X EVDO wireless card doesn't always work in third world countries. It works great in the US and Canada.
I was gona pass that as a 'racist' comment, but dude, really, here in the US where I live, we don't have an IMAX theatre (or at least an actually nice movie theatre), or three story malls with Apple stores...unlike the city in the third world country where I come from...
And, really, is sad that IMAX isn't as available as regular theatres...

Sorry, I couldn't find any 21 GB red laser players for $29.99 there. Do you have a direct link to this product?

Only 3 story? In our old third world country, they don't build malls with less than 5 with indoor skating rinks and swimming pools!

And this is a smaller one, in Asian terms:

So you cannot tell a drive and a player apart.

Not CELL, but SpursEngine : $30 a piece.

Not a new laser pickup, but a same old DVD drive with different firmware.

Given that OEMs get DVD burners for $25 and Blu-Ray drive for $120, you are just paying for the cost difference between two.

No, those will be built when MS places a 50 million unit order starting from Summer 2011.
