Sony Delays Blu-ray Player - Again
Oh dear. The problems for Sony keep
mounting as does the disappointment levels of consumers. The company has
announced another delay for its long-overdue standalone Blu-ray player, the
BDP-S1.
Originally due to ship in August, it
has now been pushed back to December 4th thanks to component
problems that 
may also end up hurting the November 17th launch of
the PS3. A message on the product page says “Targeted Availability: On or about
December 4, 2006”.
Sony said it is having trouble
getting all the components it needs. Ironically, the embarrassing problems
being suffered by the pioneer of Blu-ray technology are not being experienced
by Samsung or Panasonic, which have managed to launch their own Blu-ray
players.
