Sony delays Blu-Ray again and again and again
May but this was pushed
out to June 20, which was then extended to August 15. Now, the company has
announced that the first players will not arrive until October 25, just weeks
before the supposed launch of the PS3.
It’s a very strange move since the
dedicated player, the BDP-S1 has been priced at around £600 while the PS3
with its Blu-Ray drive is priced at £425. So why would anyone want the BDP-S1?
Anyone would think that Sony doesn’t want the BDP-S1 to succeed. It’s more
likely though that Sony will:
(a) announce a big price cut on the BDP-S1 before
launch to bring it into line with the PS3, or
(b) is not worried about BDP-S1 sales right now and
doesn’t want it hogging any valuable PS3 limelight.
