Pioneer's new Blu-ray player, the BDP-LX70

 

 Set þetta inn fyrir Græjufílklana , baráttann framundan er blóðug milli HD DVD og Blu Ray ,þrátt fyrir alla combo spilarana sem spila bæði kerfin. Wal Mart mun á þessu ári fara að selja HD DVD spilara á 200 us dollara ef svo gerist spái ég að jarðarförin á Blu Ray verði 2008 vegna þess að Wal Mart á markaðinn í DVD sölu í USA. En við sjáum til.

 It has almost been a year since the first generation Blu-ray players hit the market, and we're already starting to see second generation players; well the Pioneer BDP-LX70 is most certainly a new model, but we're not sure if it's second gen or not. The BDP-LX70 is currently only listed on Pioneer's Eurpean site and although HD DVD originally annouced their second generation players in Europe, they looked completly different from the first gen. Not only does the LX70 looks alot like the HD1, but the features are also very similar; in fact other than having a Dolby TrueHD decoder built in, it doesn't seem to have any other new features. The latest must have feature -- HDMI 1.3 -- isn't specifically mentioned, but what is mentioned, is the fact that an "HD audio bitstream output player" is already set to replace this model. Second gen or not, Blu-ray fans in Europe are about to get a new option in June when this new player hits the street, but no word on a price.
