    Sony's First Blu-Ray Player Slips Again

    Sony just can't stop delaying Blu-Ray. Previously rescheduled for an August 15th launch. Sony's quietly pushed back their first Blu-Ray platyer, the BDP-S1, to October 25th, just a few weeks before the PS3 hits.

    This is all very odd. The BDP-S1's price is going to be $995 in the States, where as the PS3 will be $500-$600 dollars and have gaming features besides. Surely that sort of price discrepancy illustrates how foolish it would be to release the BDP-S1 mere weeks before the far better value of the PS3.

    So are Sony actually releasing the BDP-S1 to fail.... releasing the two Blu-Ray players within weeks one another so they can point to the BDP-S1 and talk about what a better deal the PS3 is? An odd strategy, to say the least. Florian Eckhardt
