Just discovered that a company called Sigmatek have released a budget priced Blu-Ray player. The SBR-1000 can be found on Amazon UK for £153.00. This particular model uses Sony/Nichia blu laser technology, which is cheaper to produce than typical Blu-Ray lasers. This model will support 1080p (24/60), but a lack of reviews so far means it warrants further investigation when time permits.
I'll have to look around to see what I can find here in the States.
ReplyDeleteHope you find something, Keith. One would hope that hardware prices will fall if the format is going to make an impact in a big way.
